I've had mine since very early this year, it's been an amazing case and I've been extremely happy with it and working on my build in it...very well thought out overall, was fun to build in. The case uses a positive airflow configuration and it really keeps dust out, runs cool and quiet for me. The PSU does exhaust hot air, especially if you have a GPU that doesn't exhaust its heat out the back...but overall my temps are down compared to my Lian-Li that had more fans and a negative pressure configuration. I would not recommend running a PSU that didn't have its specs rated for 50C use...a near server-grade rating. Just because it will exhuast hotter air than the standard fare of a bottom mount and dedicated intake...which PSU's don't really need anymore...well most. But it is something the buyer should be aware of, especially if they're using a budget PSU rated at some low figure like 25C.
I'm using all 2/3SSD spots and 2/2 HDD spots, and the 5.25 for my DVD burner that I rarely use lol. All that stuff and I am still able to have the cleanest build I've ever had period, cable management options I spent more time trying than anything...and with time was able to get the build just right..I appreciated the space and features provided to cater to good cabling. I'm also not a big fan of windows...but this one works and looks nice and clean...tinted and I only have my MP LED and upside-down MSI logo on the 980Ti to show anything..neither of which I mind it all looks very sharp and clean, everyone loves to see this case and folks that have never seen an inverted case are usually very eager to check it out. The windowed side panelfeels stout and the hinge/latch design makes it easy to open and remove to service my PC.
I also like the fan speed controller and fan position adjustability...instead of holes this case has slots...I've seen a few other cases do this. I'm sure more for allowing AIO rads but still a nice touch. I usually run 1 or 2 for fan speed depending on what I'm doing. 1 is pretty damn quiet and 2 isn't very noisy but noticeable. 2 is of course the happy medium between airflow and noise. Airflow to my GPU and CPU are fantastic...I really couldn't be happier. This is the best case I've owned for sure, overall and for cooling purposes...probably the best since my HAF932 but smaller, wider, quieter and filtered. Plenty of spots to add more airflow options too.
The overall build quality is solid, fit and finish are what I'd expect. I happen to be interested in the inverted case config for this and a few others... though my next case if I decided to go mATX I wanna try one of the Silverstone vertical config cases.
I can highly recommend this case, especially at that price..it is worth MSRP for sure too. If you are interested in trying an inverted case, this is definitely a good option. For me it was between this and the Fractal Define R5...and that was a tough choice indeed. I'm more than happy with my decision, even after being able to do builds in both eventually. I could easily recommend either depending more on what you want rather than which is more effective at cooling, though I will admit I can run my 600C on fan speed 1 for low volume and it seems to perform a little better...but really not enough to be a truly deciding factor IMHO. Though I must admit my comparisons were of different builds so not a necessarily fair comparison...my OC'd 4790K with Noctua U14S vs a stock 4690k using a 212EVO.
I will say this case does a great job with air cooling and I really am very content with the case and design. I can see and understand why people might not like or accept it for something they'd use...but for anyone interested it is absolutely worth a look!
