> 24 hourI love almost everything about this case. My Number One complaint is layout for the Vertical GPU and AIO at the bottom of the case. By mounting the AIO on the bottom (recommended by CM) youre causing the pump to be at the top of the loop which reduces performance and increases noise. This could have been avoided if CM had designed to the top of the case to allow an AIO. But of course youre not required to use this layout nor does using it cause any type of failure. Its just not optimal nor is it recommended by any AIO manufacturer. They just arent designed to be oriented that way. With that aside, this case is phenomenal. I love the ventilation this case offers, along with the style from the side panel. I built my case using the Aorus X570 Pro Wifi Mini ITX MOBO, Lian Li 240mm AIO, Two SSDs mounted at the front, Corsair SFX600 PSU, and a GTX 1070 (until 3080s are readily available). Cable management was great considering the size of the case and using stock PSU cables. The AIO tube routing leaves a lot to be desired but works none the less. The fans included with the case are decent, and I love the no tool design for quickly removing fans as needed. The front IO is perfect for my needs but I could see some wishing for more. If youre looking for a nice SFX case to build in, I think this should be a top contender on your list. Its a fantastic case, and is a breeze to build in. CM has outdone themselves with the engineering with this case, but there are still improvements that can be made. Im happy with my purchase, and would do it again.

> 24 hourThis case just has everything. Its got tooless side panels so that you can easily take them off without a screwdriver. Comes with case fans that come with grills + toolless mounts that slide right in. The SSD (or HDD) can be mounted toolessly with the included screws and rubber grommets. I had trouble putting the back panel on because I stuffed all the cables in the back but whats this? They have screw holes so you can screw the cover just incase you have so many wires it wont close with the tooless design!!! Also comes with a glass side panel which is also tooless. The top panel comes off with 1 screw. It has magnetic dust filters for easy cleaning. Also comes with a pcie riser so that you can mount your GPU vertically if you want?! I mean this case has EVERYTHING covered imo. Just make sure you buy an SFX power supply because the power supply cage is small. Cooler master has knocked it out of the park here imo, design, accessories, and accessibility 5/5 would recommend to anyone who wants a reasonably small computer.

> 24 hourAIO pump is nonfunctional out of the box. Radiator fans worked so I swapped it with cpu fan/wp header and fans worked but pump still didnt on known good header. Tried pwm/dc/auto in bios with no difference. Called for a replacement and its on the way, will update once the new one is here and through its paces. Seems like this is a known thing from some reddit threads. I love this case but an aio needs to do one job and cool the cpu, not be a passive radiator..bad one at that. Update: New one arrived and worked as expected. I upped the rating to reflect this.

> 24 hourOne of the best cases Ive ever built in - the snap on side covers are so convenient to get in and out and youll have no issues so long as you knoq how to build a PC properly and keep your cables neat!

> 24 hourbuilding this case was a joy. Its small but with all the panels removed everything was very accessible. First mini-itx build surprised how powerful I was able to build this thing. X570i mobo, 5600x cpu, rx6800 gpu. This thing is a beast of a gamer. Just need a new 4k monitor lol

> 24 hourIts a small case with a fairly traditional layout thats fairly easy to build in, even for a complete beginner. Its got space for at least two 3.5 mechanical drives, three if you get creative with mounting, for people moving over from a mid or full tower, and plenty of ventilation for air cooling. itll fit fairly large GPUs (380mm+) but trades off the bottom fan slots if you need more than 2.5 PCIe slot width. The front panel can be removed and has space for a few 2.5 drives or fan controllers under it, but no official mounting solutions are provided. Looks are classy and discrete, very nice.

> 24 hourOverall, the case is very well built and easy to build in, which was great. One problem though - because of the design of the MAX version of the case, where theyve moved the motherboard down to fit in the top radiator, you are forced to use the riser cable to mount the GPU to the motherboard. No problem, I thought. If it goes bad, either Ill just replace it or Ill RMA the riser or something. Surely, Cooler Master has thought this through. (Spoiler: They didnt) Everything worked fine for awhile, it seemed, but then I started getting random crashes. Oh no! Tested all my hardware, then ran it all together but without the riser - no problems. Assemble it again, and boom - problems immediately back. Yep, its the riser. So it shouldnt be a problem, right? Just get a replacement and youre good to go? Nope! The company is unable to honor the warranty in a timely manner, because the parts are backordered and they have no idea when theyll be in stock again - all they can promise is that itll be Q3 of this year. And since the graphics card MUST be mounted with the riser cable, which is so absurdly short you wont find a decent replacement anywhere, you will be essentially left in the dust if yours dies on you, unless you just have extra cases lying around for some reason. Thank God Amazon decided to come through and give me a refund, because otherwise Id be stuck with my riser in my hand, if you know what I mean. TL;DR - It was a great case, but when it relies on something as finicky as a riser, youd think theyd be better prepared for the issues thatll inevitably arise. Not so for Cooler Master - at least, not this time. My advice, either avoid this case, or simply wait until the supply issues are resolved. Or, if you have money to burn, I guess just buy one and pray yours lasts longer than mine did.
