The cable management in this case is great and I was able to easily make my build clean and clutter-free. ...

" ... I love the tempered glass on both sides, yes you have an exposed "ugly" side but honestly, I still prefer the consistent glass on both sides approach even if you get to see the cables in the back. ... Either way if you like RGB but find it can be "too much" at times, the soft glow behind the tinted glass really looks great and prevents the computer from turning into a flash light. ... "
