good case

Box arrived sort of banged up but case survived, easy to build in and looks very sleek right out of the box. Included fans ARE NOT PWM! You may want to swap them out immediately. Used this to build my bf a system from my old cpu/motherboard (he gets the glass peel :p)

If I could give this case 10 stars I would without hesitation.I am a veteran systems engineer by trade, so I am pretty critical of cases. This one is practically perfect! The build quality is excellent, the built in fan/RGB header is very useful and the software to control it is well developed.It is a goldilocks size case, as well. Not too big, but big enough to not be a pain to work on. Full length graphics cards are no problem to fit. Cable management is excellent and the thermals on this case are some of the best I have ever seen of any case at any size. In my build I run a Ryzen 5600x along with an nVidia 2080Ti all in one custom water loop. I have a single 240mm utra-thin radiator in the front (which fits perfectly in this case, as do more standard size 240mm rads), 2x 120mm fans on the rad, and one case fan. Under 1 hour full load stress (GPU and CPU combined) the GPU never goes over 50c and the CPU gets to the mid 60's, with water temps hovering around 43c. Under typical gaming the GPU stays in the mid 40's and the CPU never gets above 57-58c ... on one single slim 240 radiator! That is just utterly outstanding. Case temps never go higher than 6c over ambient, so the MB, VRM, PCH, and memory stay nice and cool. Kudos to NZXT for carefully considering airflow instead of making it an afterthought.The case is very quiet - the factory included fans not so much. I won't ding the case for this as basically all cases have cheap fans and good one are easy and inexpensive to come by.The case is handsome, yet understated. I would go so far as to call it elegant, in style as well as technical design.In case anyone wishes to replicate my build, any mITX board fits fine. Even dITX fits. The rad I used was the XSPC 240mm ultra thin. The pump was the EKWB FLT120 DDC, which fits perfectly on the back of this case where an optional rear fan would go. The fans are all Phanteks 120mm (F120MP_BK_PWM) at $13.50 apiece on Amazon but Noctua works great too. Radiator fans blow toward the front of the case (push configuration), and top fan blows into the case to cool the mobo and provide a fresh air stream and minimize negative pressure behind the radiator fans.The glass panel is tight, as it should be - this should seal well and not vibrate. The build quality, and fit/finish are simply excellent. If it is not abundantly clear at this point, I simply love this case!

NZXT CAM may need to be rewired on first use

Considering it to be an ITX case, I find it to be one of the most beautiful and sleek ITX cases. Installation is a bit hard since its a bit small in size but overall the thermals and cooling is sound.Edit:Airflow is not great around GPU causing it to go to 82C in 26C ambient. Please fix this!! Removing 1 star for this.

damaged from backside dont buy
