Super compact and unique!
Really cool, low-footprint case that is super compact. The fact that it is so compact comes with caveats. Yes, it can fit a full-size ATX board, but it only has 3 expansion slots. Something to keep in mind. I had a 10Gb network card I was using, but I can't use it because the GPU is using all the slots.
Other things to note. The GPU chamber is long but could use some extra z-axis width. The power cables have to make a pretty tight bend. Some cards will also have clearance issues in the case toward the back end. Mine fits, but it is flush with the case, and I cannot 100% fully seat the card because the case is preventing that. It seats enough where it still works. The GPU sag bracket also requires cards with screw threads; not all cards have this. I was able to rig a workaround. I am running an EVGA 3080 Ti.
I LOVE how the case looks, and I am liking the temperatures. The design works.

Fantastic case and conversation piece
This was my first PC build and I'm glad I chose this case! Incredible quality and the AIO makes the install incredibly easy. It gets so many compliments- highly recommended!

First of all case is awesome it’s different and I loved it. Bad things about it; Rog Astral 5080 won’t fit so don’t try it if that’s your Gpu in mind, second you need to be sure motherboard will fit case-motherboard-Gpu I had the Asus Rog Strix x870E-E and Gpu didn’t fit according to the space dedicated for Gpu so had to switch for a Asus Rog Strix x870E-E Neo and Gpu barely fits and even like that I had to do some DIY for Gpu cover could fit. I think Case needs adjustments. I just kept it because I loved the design but if I had known about that issue I wouldn’t have bought it.
