Early Impressions...

• Full of potential due to its immense size and purpose built design - so many permutations for water cooling
• Good build quality 
• Almost totally tool free 
• Superb access all round
• Nice removable swing door
• Well meshed for minimising dust 
• Fully grommeted access holes and fully sleeved cabling, very aesthetic
• Good paint finish, not much of a finger print magnet
• Generous bundle of fans (200mm x 3, 140mm x 1), 10 channel fanbus and ATX12V extension cable

Can be improved...

• Heavy
