Pros & Cons
This case was simple to build in, there are plenty of cable tie points and holes to manage cables nicely and most functions of this case are easy to use or access. For example the front panel, back panel, PSU panel and PCI covers use thumb screws which make building and upgrades down the line a breeze, requiring minimal screwdriver usage.
There were two issues I came across which were user error, but not quite so obvious when planning so I'm letting you know so you don't make the same mistakes.
If you want to use a AIO CPU cooler loop that is 280mm you will need to make sure that your graphics card isn't too long like mine. For most people this wouldn't be a problem and they would mount the loop to the top of the case but for me the mother board heatsink stuck out forward too much and would only allow a 240mm radiator so I had to get mine replaced for a 240mm one.
As you can see in two of the pictures my radiator uses round head screws which don't allow the top filter align with case nicely, if are going to mount a radiator like I did I would recommend using flat head screws, I couldn't since I didn't have any.
Pros:
-The case has very good airflow and filtration, which is one of the main reasons why I chose this case.
-The fan solution is very flexible allowing 120 and 140 fans meaning I will be able to upgrade them down the line
-Lots of tie points and holes for cable management
-Very subtle branding on the case
-Thumb screws
-For the fan mounts instead of there being holes there are 1.5 inch slits so you can adjust the fan position to your liking
Cons:
-If you are using a extended power supply there is only about 2 inches behind it to route cables
-The USB ports are noticeably tight but become more usable after usage
-The dark tint on the glass is stronger in person only allowing lighting in the build to be seen, if you want parts to be seen like I do you will need to upgrade to LED fans to light the build up down the line.
-Taking of the front panel filter is quite fidgety and feels like you are going to break it every time

A side note for anyone of thinking of getting into PC building I am only 15 yo and this was my first build, if I did it you should be able to as well.
Good luck!
