Bought it as the centrepiece of a first proper build and it mostly earns the fuss. The touchscreen is a gimmick I have come to like, mostly for the temperature readout, though I still reach for the app on the desktop more often than I tap it. Fitting a 360 radiator in the top is straightforward and there is more room behind the tray than any case I have owned. A star off because it ships with no fans at all at this price, which caught me out. Budget for three more before you order.
Used for: 1–3 months
Masses of room around the board
No fans included
Roomy, easy to build in, and the glass looks superb!
Used for: 6–12 months
Dual chamber keeps every cable out of sight
The dual chamber layout is the reason this was worth the money. Every cable, the PSU and the drives live in the right hand chamber, so the glass side shows nothing but the board, the card and the tubing. Airflow is honest too: my card sits about four degrees cooler than it did in the old mid tower. Eight months in and the only fingerprints are on the touchscreen, which is fair enough.
Used for: 3–6 months
Touchscreen blinds you on every reboot
No complaints about how it performs, but the touchscreen wakes on every reboot and sits at full brightness until the software loads, which in a dark room at seven in the morning is a genuine assault. Four months on and I still have not found a setting for it.
Used for: Less than a month
Radiator goes in without stripping the front
Feet mark a soft desk
First case I have built in where I did not need to take the front off to fit the radiator. Very clever
Used for: Less than a month
Tool-free panels and a thick glass side
Heavy enough to need a second pair of hands
Panels come off with a push and no thumbscrews, the glass is thick, and the whole thing feels closer to furniture than a computer case. Cable routing behind the tray swallowed everything without a fight. Only gripe so far is the weight, getting it onto the desk on my own was optimistic
Used for: 6–12 months
Vertical mount costs you a few degrees
Five stars because the case does everything I bought it for, but there are things worth knowing before you click order. The touchscreen needs a USB header and a display cable of its own, so if your board is short on internal USB you will be buying a hub. Mine was, and the hub then had to live in the back chamber, which ate some of the tidy routing space the case is famous for. The second thing is the vertical GPU mount. It looks superb through the glass but it puts the card fans about fifteen millimetres from the panel, and my temperatures went up six degrees over the horizontal position. I moved it back and lost the party trick. Nine months of daily use and neither of those has stopped me recommending it, they are just the trade-offs nobody mentions.
Used for: More than a year
Moves a lot of air without making a noise about it
You will want extra fans from the start
Quiet is the word, which I did not expect from a chassis with an intake chamber this open. Four fans up front and at desk distance the AIO pump is louder than any of them. The dust filters slide out from the front rather than the underside, so I actually clean them, and after a year and a half the glass has not picked up a single scratch!
Used for: Less than a month
Front IO on the top edge with two USB-C
Swapped a decade-old Antec for this and the difference in working inside it is night and day. Everything that used to be a knuckle-scraping job is easy here. The motherboard tray has proper cutouts, the PSU shroud is its own room so you never see a cable, and the front IO sits on the top edge where I can reach it without groping round the back of the desk. Two USB-C ports as well, which finally means the phone and the headset dongle live in the same place. Four stars and not five only because the manual assumes you already know what you are doing. There is a fold-out sheet and a QR code, no more than that, and for a case this involved I would have liked proper instructions.
