" ... The glass is a cheap plastic that doesn’t even fit properly, the pci slot covers must be bent off to come off, the actual design for cable management is one of the worst I’ve seen. ... Do not buy this case, I know I will definitely be returning this case. ... "

This pc case is really cool the rgb light have multiple modes and if you hold it, it will turn off and the side panel is really cool and puting the pc together was a breeze the one flaw is that the cable management in the back is kinda hard because the side panel is flat but I got it to fit so overall 5/5 ...
