Review: An absolutely amazing beast of a case! - I’ll start by saying I’m completely in love with this, and I’m devastated that I’ve built this for somebody else! I build PCs as a hobby / for fun / for family & friends / to make my own families gaming lives better. Started over 20 years ago when the graphics weren’t demanding, and if I could run World of Warcraft smoothly I was happy. I spent far too much money as a teen / young adult on gaming PCs for WoW… Fast forward to today, and I’m now a mom of two who have also picked up on the gaming bug, and their dad loves gaming too. Their version of gaming right now is Roblox and The Sims, but they still want it to run well and we as parents with high standards need good stuff in our PCs. Bringing me to this build. This one is for my other half, and it makes me happy and sad. Happy because I get to still see it, sad because I know he’s going to live on it so I won’t get a look in. First things first, this was a whole new rebuild. Old case is pictured next to this one. It is absolutely enormous. This can’t be said enough. Make sure you have got space. Second, it is HEAVY. 29kg heavy. And that’s empty. If you’re wanting this PC to be upstairs, I’d suggest building it upstairs if possible. For the build itself, I’d chosen the following for the games which my fella plays; not too demanding but enough here to start him off: *MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus Motherboard ATX *Intel Core i9-11900KF *Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Illusion Processor Cooler *GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card *16GB RAM x2 (generic) *PSU from previous gaming PC The build itself was actually extremely enjoyable. The inbuilt cable management system makes everything look tidy, and it is once of the easiest builds I’ve done for quite a while. It made a difference having all the space and complete access from multiple angles. The top of the case is held in place with a single screw, and then you slide it off. This then allows you access to both side panels with no awkward screws or sliding side panels; they’re either on or they’re off. The fans that come with the case itself are great, perfect for the build that I was completing. It’s got room for further cooling and lots of options for where you place specific components. It’s all extremely well thought out. Having a USB-C port on the front was a nice addition, I didn’t actually see this when I was reading up on it. The case came with a vertical graphics card holder, however this was something that my fella didn’t want so it hasn’t been installed on this build. I am quite intrigued by this though so I will be using it on my next build; it seems straight forward enough! Setting up the Iris system was something my fella wanted to do himself but I ended up doing. The instructions didn’t work for him but they worked fine for me, and I completed the drivers easily. Once set up, this tiny little screen has so many options in MasterPlus+. He now has his toggling between CPU temperature, the time and a few pics of us and the kids. The MasterPlus+ also has millions of options to change the lighting sequences, there’s probably actually millions. You can make it look like there’s a disco in your room, or have it look nice and twinkly. You can pick the colours from a palette. I mean, literally millions of options. It’s quite insane. Noise wise, this one is actually quietly than its predecessor (the little one pictured). How, I don’t know. But considering its size you would expect it to generate more vibration noise with the amount of fans. It’s actually whisper quiet and I’m so happy with this. This is by far the most expensive case I’ve ever bought. However, it is also the best case I have ever built a PC with. My logic was that its size and capacity would last years and many upgrades, and this in itself would be a worthwhile investment. I know a lot of people see gaming PCs and go “ooo flashy lights take my money” but the lights on this are purely an advantage; if it had no lights I’d still have bought it for its design alone as it was a joy to build with. If you can afford it, and you want to build your perfect PC, get this. You won’t regret it. I just regret I didn’t buy it for myself…!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good case
*by D***S on 3 October 2025*

Case is big. Good airflow, lots of fans. Also look nice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top tier
*by D***N on 24 February 2025*

Great case for people that want to fit all there equipment in with no hassels, glass is strong and looks awesome. the fan controller is very helpful with alot of room for expansion synced all my extra fans. my favourite location for fans are the base ones that blow up at the graphics card my 4090 never gets above 60.c even in the most demanding games. would recommend this to anyone looking for a easy installation just make sure you have the room for the thing.
