Beautiful case and well put together. The two 180 fans move some air! I added a Noctua 120 in the rear for exhaust and two Noctua 120 slims in the bottom for extra intake. Its built to be a positive pressure case, and it does the job very well. Behind the motherboard tray, there isnt a lot of room for lazy cable management. Itd help a lot if you had flat cables, or loose cable bundles, I dont know if Id use cable extensions, you may have a problem tucking in the excess. I used some Cablemod cables and didnt have too much of a problem, other than the GPU power cables being a little shorter than Id like- I think it has to do with the top mounted power supply. My NH-D15 and 6800 XT fit fine, so theres room for activities.

I would recommend this case. As a matter of fact, a friend recommended it to me and I bought this case day of release. Fractal makes some really nice products. I've got 3 Fractal cases paired with 3 Fractal PSUs. I'm not endorsed by them nor am I looking to be, I just enjoy their products. Fun fact: Within 3 days of migrating like a hermit crab from my old case (Fractal Define S7) to this case, my cat clawed the top slider when jumping onto my desk. The pains of working from home, hahaha. Now the case has battle wounds and a story to over-exaggerate. :)

I can't shake the feeling that Fractal is so close to something great, but as it stands, this is a speciality case for folks looking for superior cooling performance and willing to sacrifice all else. I would highly recommend you consider your objectives before purchasing this case. I likely wouldn't purchase again if I was starting over as I was building a cool and quiet system and not a monster gaming rig.
Great case, lots of air flow and its quiet. My 6800XT's coil wine is louder than the fans. You can see in my last photo, the CPU and GPU were loaded (Cyberpunk 2077) and the temps are COOL! I put a DB meter on my phone and when idle its ~19db and when playing cyberpunk its ~24db. I chose the compact non RGB version because I don't like RGB, and because I do not plan on water cooling my rig. Having the fans closer to the components help keep everything cool and quiet.
Yes i would recommend for a Gaming rig, great for air cooling setup. Might want to look else where if you need more than m.2 drives.
Two things keep this case from being perfect in my opinion.One, it has glass on both sides of the case. Very weird and makes cable management harder because you can rely on panel to take the pressure of bulky cables.Two, cable management is a nightmare. There is so very little room on the back side. Like 2cm. And even within that it seems like that glass panel wants to buckle out .Other then that, air flow is so good. Took 13 degrees off my CPU compared to fractal define 7 which is a quiet air flow restricted case.
