    update: these phanteks rgb fans that came preinstalled are awesome. some of the best fans ever. They move ALOT of air...the RGB POPS and they are pretty quiet for how much air they move.

    It is possible that the video card cable came out of 2 different places. One is through the hole at the bottom of the motherboard, and the other is through the hole under the psu thick cable. I bought the white one of this case. I think it's very nice. If the limits are right for you.

    Thanks for the review! I’m planning to build my first pc in about a month or so and so far I’ve chosen all components, except for the case. I’m really picky about aesthetics and I’m struggling A LOT to find a decently priced one with good airflow and nice looks. So far I’ve laid my eyes on a few ones particularly and I’m debating, switching everyday from one to the other: Fractal Pop Air, Lian Li Lancool 216, H5 flow and, now, this one aswell! I’m gonna be running a 7600x with an RX 6950 XT, and I’ll most likely be keeping it for the next 5/6 years, so I might invest a bit more for a slightly better case, that’s why I’m leaning towards the Lancool 216 right now. But that can definitely change within the next weeks haha

    I've got this case, it's awesome. Quite compact though. Cable management looks nice from the front. Bit of a bird's nest at the back, but that doesn't matter. I mounted a rear case fan externally because of how I mounted the 360mm radiator, the hoses were in the way. Another thing I did, was put peel and stick mirror panels on the floor of the case. It shows off my 4090's RGB fans and makes the case look bigger than it is. One thing I don't like is the radiator mounting screws sit proud and are noticeable in the mesh screen cover. A final note, I ran out of 5v headers so I'll need to get an ARGB controller, so I can run the front fan lights with Signal RGB.

    Just built a system with the white version, I agree that they could’ve made more holes for running cables. Overall it was an easy case to work with, but I can imagine it would be tight workspace for someone used to bigger cases or a first time builder. One gripe is that I put an ASUS ROG 240mm AIO Cooler at the top and thought it would fit an extra exhaust fan next to it, but it won’t. Not sure if it’s just the way the ASUS AIO is shaped, or if it applies to all 240mm coolers. I probably could’ve just went with a 120mm cooler and been fine which would allow 2 other fans to fit at top. So currently I have 3 intake fans at front and 3 fans exhausting (2 on the radiator, 1 at the rear) Hopefully that’ll be enough

    I also bought the white one. I chose a little smaller to put on my desk. I think the front fans are M25. But these fans are not sold in my region. I'll have to get one for the rear exhaust. When you mute the system via MSI center, there is zero noise. I really liked this. Because my old safe was pretty loud. Actually, I wanted to buy the G500A, but unfortunately the white model is not sold. It was also smaller and more suitable for my desk. In most PC cases, they do not close the gap inside. I'm talking about the space at the bottom of those 3 fans. Frankly, I didn't need any more holes. I think you put the cable for the video card in the wrong place in the video. He could have taken it out in 2 different places. One from the hole at the bottom of the motherboard and the other from the hole under the part where the psu thick cable is. In my country, it came to 95 dollars with a discount. I think this is a really nice case for the money. I think it will be enough for most people. If I wanted a black pc case, I could get the black model of the G500A for $165. The Lian Li 216 was also on my mind for a while, but the white model was out of stock. Also, I thought it would be easy to dust with mesh all over. It would have been better without the mesh structure at the bottom. But if you want more airflow it can be nice.

    @@dogankaya2004 How’s your PC doing? I decided to just run the AIO rad Top-mounted furthest to the rear, and a 120mm exhaust fan at the rear. Then the 3 stock fans are my intake. So there’s a gap at the top-front where I can fit another 120mm fan. Also I got a faulty ASUS rog 1000w gold psu and their RMA system take sooo long. They’ve had it for about 2 weeks and it’s still in “Diagnosis” stage. So I just ordered a 1000w Gold seasonic psu from amazon that’ll be here Saturday. Tired of waiting and dealing with Asus. Worst part is they don’t return ship to where I live, so i’m forced to send it to my cousin in California, then he’ll send it to me. Which could take WEEKS 💀 I’ll probably just try selling the Asus PSU when I get it back. Or just keep as a back up.
