        Modular at will

        Lightweight, no-frills case, generous dimensions, but with space to attach components, with removable elements as required.

        top-notch box

        Although it's bigger than I thought, I'm very happy with it! There's plenty of room inside for the components, which simplifies assembly, the cable passages are very practical, and the 2 original fans are relatively quiet... thank you BeQuiet and LDLC!

        Ideal

        A sober, relatively silent box that seems built to last.
        When you look at it (I took it in white), you get a feeling of 'quiet strength'.
        The finish is clean and there's an easily retractable filter at every aperture.
        This case has been optimised to cool the graphics card efficiently, and it does so very well indeed.
        For ideal ventilation, another 14 cm fan needs to be added to the front panel so that the CPU is also properly ventilated. With this little extra, the case is just... perfect.

        A little disappointed....

        The case is not bad in its design. Only, my case had a broken rivet.... I had to put one back on.... The fans are not in PWM.... Too bad.... As for the rivet, it bothers me a bit to receive a defective product....

        High quality, well-groomed appearance.

        Very nice case, well finished. It is spacious and I have installed my components in it, including a fairly large graphics card without any problem. The interior is lined in places with a sound absorber which does its job very well the pc is quiet. I simply added a fan that extracts air through the top opening and it is perfectly well ventilated.

        Very good housing

        Good quality, worthy of the brand.
        The case is elegant and clean, a pleasure to assemble your PC.
        I have relatively few components (cpu, rtx 1080, ssd sata, ssd PCIe, ventirad, power supply), the size of the case is largely sufficient.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the magnet, but it's a good idea to use some strong glue.

        Great housing

        Great case, aesthetically pleasing, quiet and above all very well laid out inside for cable management. The basic ventilation is sufficient for a r5 5600x configuration. The power supply is a bit difficult to access once installed.

        First box at the top!

        For a first case, I am delighted!
        Delivered as described with 2 fans, cable management clips and screws to attach motherboard and hard drives (maybe need a bit more to attach an extra HD).
        The look is really nice, well finished. I really like the system of the 2 plates on top to put a less aesthetic filter but a bit more open. Another comment mentioned it, one of the magnets on the white plate was already a bit unstuck. A shot of strong glue and it holds well (I remove it from time to time to test).
        There is enough space to fix a lot of hard drives of all sizes, it's very pleasant.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one. I might have to invest in some angled wedges ... Otherwise, there are a lot of points to guide all this correctly!

        Quality in the details

        Quality workmanship, well thought out organisation, very ergo, and nice little details: screws, cable ties, spare filter... Don't change anything!

        A good case, but the finish needs to be reviewed.

        I decided on this case because of the comments and recognition of the Bequiet! brand.

        At first glance, the case is a bit big. I think it is even bigger than the average ATX case. However, it is very aesthetic.

        The installation of the CM is quite smooth as there is enough room to work. The cable management system is quite efficient so that you don't have cables everywhere in the case.

        As far as noise is concerned, it is a very quiet case despite the 2 fans.

        Negative point: The top cover panel is magnetic. The problem is that the magnets are stronger than the glue that holds it to the cover. As a result, the magnets come off and often stay on the case when you want to remove the cover.

        Apart from this detail, it is a very good case.

        Excellent value for money

        Very happy with this box.

        Positive points :
        - Convenient for mounting
        - Good storage space for cables
        - Modular design (HDD cage and SSD holders can be removed)
        - Pretty good noise reduction

        Negative point:
        - There is only one fan on the front. Knowing that the front only offers a small air inlet, a second fan seems essential to me to ensure a good circulation inside the case

        For the price, I can't complain. Users with a fairly intensive use should certainly monitor the temperatures at the beginning and add a front fan if necessary.
