Spacious, adaptable, quiet.
Having bought this for a server build, I found myself drawn to switch my main computer into this from a Fractal Design R5, as it seems more solid and quiet focused.Although missing more case fan spaces compared to the R5, this does a good job at retaining the important spaces, at the front, back and optional top (with acoustic covers if not used!).I have an Corsair H115I 280mm AIO cooler mounted to the front (the only space for input fans), and a single low-profile Noctua fan for the rear. The stock case fans have been used in another build, however they run very well, and are considerably quiet for their throughput.I run a Ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 3070Ti, One heat-sinked NVME and one storage SSD, and the idle temperatures with mostly default fan speeds are approx. CPU 40 (AIO is quite old now) and GPU 30. This is only a few degrees hotter than my previous case with double the fans, and even in gaming mode handles the heat and volume well.The case itself is very minimal on the outside, but inside has a nice well thought out interior design, with a PSU shroud extending the length of the case, with hard drives primarily mounted underneath, in the shroud and out the way of the rest of the interior.The spacious rear-motherboard cavity allows for very easy cable management, and large space infront of motherboard allows for larger style graphics cards. It comfortably held my Noctua NH-D15, with both installed cooler fans pointing directly out of the rear exhaust.All these small design choices allow the case to remain quiet, whilst allowing for the maximum airflow with minimal fan setup. Allowing the PSU, cabling and hardrives out of the airflow also has the massive boon of further helping airflow and cleanliness of the case in general.

Excellent case
Build quality is superb, doesn't bend when you pick it up like some of my cheaper cases. Cable routing options are excellent and speaking of cables, the front I/O cables are to the side behind the main chamber so they are invisible when looking in and not an eyesore. I realise i did have one issue with cable routing, and thatis the cutout near the front I/O cables on the motherboard is a little small but all it does is look slightly messy and no real issues.The lack of a usb C cable on the front panel is also notable, but i didn't need it anyway and you can buy a replacement for £10 so a good cost saving measure. Speaking of cost, £80 feels very reasonable for a great looking case with brilliant quality. A lovely bonus is the removeable lower panel (very removeable, slightly too easy to knock off) with a tray for extra parts and a slot for a DVD drive, which i make use of. I might add that it seems only possible to screw the drive in on one side, but not a huge issue and i might just be daft.5/5, great mix of modern looks and versatile useability with the dvd and HDD drive bays. The front and rear panels have captive screws which is so simple yet very nice when building and swapping. I think that covers it all, will definitely recommend.

Good case. Easy installation.
Well made, well thought out case with plenty of space/volume. Nice quiet case fans. No LED bling here though that is an option if you like that kinda thing. Nice that the PSU is in a shroud at the bottom. Plenty of room to hide power cables. Good mounting points for hdd and ssd. Bonus is hidden 5.25" drive bay at the bottom if you need a cd drive.

Fractal pop
The fractal pop is a great case easy to build in plenty of space colour coded inside plenty of room for large CPU coolers Noctua D15 Dark rock pro etc good cable management built in RGB controller and switch for controlling lights even if the motherboard doesn’t have RGB headers, Side panels very easy to remove and attach. Even being spacious to build in it still is a nice size in the desk and for the style and aesthetic it’s good value, it includes magnetic dust filters and also have a front hidden tray with magnetic cover that can be used to install DVD or CD drives which is nice for a modern case design. Overall functionality is great.

Nice big well made case.
This is a giant case and gives plenty of room to fit fans and boards with room to spare. Little drawer in the front is a nice touch. It doesn't have fancy glass sides and there is no visibility of internal led lighting. If you want that pointless visual effect then the wrong case. I want a computer not a fancy light show. Fans are OK and good enough but there is space if you need a hurricane blowing through. The power supply fits in the base and is a bit of a fiddle getting the leads plugged in but there's enough room to wire a warship in the box hidden behind the back panel All good, impressed with manufacturing quality. No sharp edges.

Excellent case
Used this to build my first pc and honestly it’s a stunning case, the perfect size for me and I love the colour options for the light. Built in fans are a plus and was easy to install pieces inside. 10/10

Good case for a new PC build
Just got this case for a new computer, it was easy to build in, with plenty of space and good instructions the fans it comes with are quiet and the RGB isn't intrusive, for the price i would recommend it for a first build case

Great case all around, looks stunning
Bought it a while back for my new PC build. All in all I couldn't be happier with it. It looks great and feels sturdy.The only downside would the fact that the USB C isn't available on the case, you have to buy it separately, I really feel that it should be included with the case for the price.
