  1. I picked this case up for $60 shipped at Newegg. This is a Mid tower and comes with 4 RGB 120mm fans installed. You can install up to 8 fans total. It has 2 3.5in drive bays and room for 7 2.5in drives. I will be installing the following components. Motherboard Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master Cpu Intel 8700k Cooler Deepcool Neptwin v2 Ram Team Group Night Hawk RGB 3200c14 2x8GB NVME 1x Toshiba RD400 128gb boot. Intel 660P 512GB game drive SSD 2x Adata SU800 256gb in Raid0 for games HDD 1x WD blue 1TB PSU PCPower&Cooling Firestorm 1050w gold GPU Gigabyte Windforce black OC 1080ti 11GB So here are my thoughts on the case. First it is a great case to build in and i'm very happy with it. It can for sure handle custom watercooling if you want and has plenty of room on top and front for rads. I do have a couple complaints with the case. First the 2 fans that can be added to the top of the power supply cover are useless and will do nothing for cooling. Next the PSU can only be mounted fan down and this comes into play with the fans being useless above it. My only other complaint is the RGB controller the case has. The fan speed can only be changed from high to low and using the button seen in the pic below. This means you will have to pull the back cover to change it if you want. Now they could have put the button on a long switch the same way they did the rgb button and mounted it to the top of the fron panel like the rest of the buttons. Case Dimensions (H x W x D) 20.40" x 8.40" x 17.20" Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower 2 x USB 2.0 / 2 x USB 3.0 / Audio In &Out (HD) Front Ports 3 x RGB LED Ring Fans x Front, 1 x RGB LED Ring Fan x Rear (Pre-installed) Water cooling ready - Front/Top can fit up to 280mm water cooling radiator Advanced cable management design Support up to 380mm VGA card Magnetic dust filter at top/bottom - easy clean FAN Layout Front: 3 x 120mm RGB LED Ring Fans (Pre-Installed) Rear: 1 x 120mm RGB LED Ring Fan (Pre-Installed) Top: 2 x 120/140mm Fans (Optional) Top of Power Supply Cage: 2 x 120mm Fans (Optional)
  2. The benchmark is pretty cool. Something in having an issue with is AMD/Nvidia. running this bench on a 1080ti one in my 8700k build and the other in my 3900x build. Same settings drivers and Windows updates. intel with 1080ti gets about 100-120fps Amd with 1080ti is only getting 20-23fps. Not sure why. Can someone with a Intel and amd setup try this?
