Aside from the cool looks this case dropped my system temps by 8c (I had the nzxt h510) - it’s great to work in but keep the cable management room is tight in the back - using the space on top is the only real option.You will also need 6+2pin extenders for your graphics card if you want to loop them below as the power supply is up top.Brilliant case highly recommended

Great case for a change of pace! I got tied of the same old mid towers; 280mm AIOs, power supply in the basement, etc. Wanted to try a solid airflow case, a bit on the smaller side with the PS on top. I put a beefy CPU Air cooler in and temps are all good for my 7700x and 4080. Cable mgmt is a little tight but doable. Go with a semi modular or modular PS and there should be plenty of room for excess cables up there too. Fractal Design is a solid choice once again.

The plastic front grill and top plate are high quality, and neither would be better in metal.As per every review, there is limited depth behind the motherboard tray for cables. Care needed with choice of PSU, as thick cables will cause real problems. with the clear TG version, it looks bare without bottom or rear fans. But the airflow is so good with the two front mounted 180mm fans, these additional fans are only needed for aesthetics, and are more likely to reduce cooling performance than improve it. Plus, if buying additional fans, it may be better just to buy the larger version, which comes with 5 fans as standard.Using PWM fans and smart cooled graphics card, the airflow cooling (I use a Be Quiet! CPU air cooler) is so efficient the fans are close to silent ... MoreThe plastic front grill and top plate are high quality, and neither would be better in metal.As per every review, there is limited depth behind the motherboard tray for cables.

In turn, the top panel is easily dislodged, and also better secured by screws at the rear.Costs 50% more than a Be Quiet! Pure 500DX, which also offers very good airflow. But the two 180mm PWM front fans in the Fractal are better than the 500DX setup.

My only gripe with the case was the back panel space. Other than that, the case is a dream!
Lovely case to build in, and the stock 180 fans offer an insane amount of cooling. While PC is idling, I have my fans set to be almost inaudible and I still have better temperatures than in my Meshify C. Case has a lot of space and cable management options, so my build is looking cleaner than ever.Not to mention the case just looks great anyway!
Aside from some cable management shenanigans, the case itself is pretty nice. If I didn't have my Coolermaster Cosmos 700M I would have likely bought the normal size Torrent. This was bought as a first PC for my kid and she loves the case
This case looks really great, and with great build build quality and cooling to boot. Very easy to take off the front panel, doesn't require any unscrewing since its held in with the front panel. The only downside is that the back panel area doesn't have that much clearance for cables so it might be a bit of a tight fit, but with a little bit of planning it works out just fine in the end.
