      I bought this case through Skroutz from a store in Thessaloniki. It was the only one that had this case during the period November-December 2023. The delivery and everything went well.

      The case is the most beautiful case there is! And in white and black it is very nice. The price includes 3 fans (they seemed of good quality) with integrated RGB and the case also has a controller which is very useful since the fans of the case are connected there and all you have to do is connect with a SATA cable to the power supply to power the controller and the fans and that is enough for all to work (but they will work at maximum speeds and will make noise. So you also need to connect the ONE cable that the controller gives you to ANY chassis fan header of your motherboard and from there on the speed of the case fans will be adjusted through the bios and will increase according to the temperature inside. And so the fans will run idle unless the interior heats up too much, in which case they will gradually increase speed. This is an EXTREMELY USEFUL feature that this case gives you and solves your problems if, for example, you have a motherboard that does not provide enough connection points for the case fans or that are in difficult to access places (because the more you stuff the PC with cards, processors, coolers and the like. Impossible to put your hand in some strange places where the fan headers are many times. With this controller it solves all these. It gives you ONE plug and with it you connect it to ONE fan header and controls all 3 fans! Up to 4. Therefore, just for that it is a very good case in terms of value. In other words, for the money it is worth all that it gives you. And of course we said BEAUTIFUL! The most beautiful case there is but...

      It has various problems.
      It requires GREAT ATTENTION to some issues.
      For example, the glass is beautiful but fragile. It requires a lot of attention. Hold it well and be careful when unscrewing the screws.
      The case has a peculiarity. On the side where the glass is, it has a small lateral side panel under the glass which is very tightly secured with 2 screws from behind and hooks to the side. While it also has a "hidden" black screw on the side that is not easily visible. And while you have unscrewed the back screws nicely and well, you wonder why it doesn't open. And it is this insidious screw that is even black and in a black case it's hard to see... And it's inside the body of the case. So be very careful and sharp-eyed to see it and if you remove it only then does the side point under the glass come out. And if you don't remove it, it doesn't work because the "tools to remove it must come out this little door otherwise it doesn't...

      But problems:
      For example, if you have old hard drives, the hard drive slot is not well thought out and the drives are found on the sides and do not close. And with the SATA cables as much as you pull them, the side does not close. In general, they bothered me a lot. Also, the positions for the SSDs are not good. They are not user-friendly. Cable management is very difficult. It should have at least 3 more points on the side to be comfortable. It gives you 1.5-2 points. The cables do not fit at all. Although the main issue is the hard drives, which, like the SATA cables, cannot be placed at an angle unless you potentially reverse the disks so that they face upwards. However, since one disk is directly below the other, which is elegant but prevents the use of angled SATA cables because they would interfere with the SATA of the upper disk. So, you are forced to use straight SATA cables, but they will interfere with the side cover of the case. Although it can be closed with a little pressure, here we come to another major problem with the side covers of the case. They screw on but do not secure to the front with any "hooks" like in all other cases, even the cheaper ones. Unfortunately, in this case, the side covers do not hook anywhere on the front, resulting in anything slightly thrown from the inside to get stuck on the side, as it has very little space for cables, and even with the two rear screws tightened, the side cover will still detach. The only solution is to turn the disks to face the power supply, which is ergonomically inconvenient but it doesn't matter. You will only install the disks once. You won't be opening and closing it all the time. So, that's the only way it can be done.

      Overall, this case has very good airflow, perhaps the best in the world. Ideally, it should be fed with air from the front fans, while the rear fan extracts the air. And for even better results, one fan is enough, even though it has space for two. A fan on the top and towards the back for maximum results.
      But I would only recommend it if you only "play" with M.2 drives and an SSD. And of course, it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, so you will necessarily need an external USB. It's not a big deal... Okay. If you only "play" with M.2 and SSD, you will like this case. And you will also have very good airflow. A cool system and beautiful. Even if you don't have an RGB motherboard, it provides you with that capability. And it has different combinations it offers.

      That's it in general. If you pay attention to these little things, I would recommend it to you. I also had the experience of assembling it, and now that I have it set up, it looks very nice. But I would give it a 4/5 rating because of these issues I mentioned.

      4/5 only because with the same money you can get the Armaggeddon-NimitzTR8000p which is obviously a better case if you don't care about the space it occupies.
      Otherwise, nice case, nice colors, quiet due to the 140mm front fan, perfect for a relaxed 5600x build. If you now want 12600k and above, you need something with more airflow because it will become a small microwave inside with only 2 intake fans

        Overall, this case has very good airflow, perhaps the best in the world. Ideally, it should be fed with air from the front fans, while the rear fan extracts the air. And for even better results, one fan is enough, even though it has space for two. A fan on the top and towards the back for maximum results.
        But I would only recommend it if you only "play" with M.2 drives and an SSD. And of course, it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, so you will necessarily need an external USB. It's not a big deal... Okay. If you only "play" with M.2 and SSD, you will like this case. And you will also have very good airflow. A cool system and beautiful. Even if you don't have an RGB motherboard, it provides you with that capability. And it has different combinations it offers.

        That's it in general. If you pay attention to these little things, I would recommend it to you. I also had the experience of assembling it, and now that I have it set up, it looks very nice. But I would give it a 4/5 rating because of these issues I mentioned.

      • 4/5 only because with the same money you can get the Armaggeddon-NimitzTR8000p which is obviously a better case if you don't care about the space it occupies.
        Otherwise, nice case, nice colors, quiet due to the 140mm front fan, perfect for a relaxed 5600x build. If you now want 12600k and above, you need something with more airflow because it will become a small microwave inside with only 2 intake fans
