About this deal

Not as difficult to work in as some other cases. Fits oversized components such as water cooled GPUs, large air coolers, etc.

The inclusion of 2 network activity lights on the front panel is a nice touch, but I have yet to configure a motherboard that includes pinouts for network activity. (A shame.) Good airflow for ATX-style PCs, includes a set of massive fans, has an extra location for another large fan. Larger fans allow for the use of quieter fans and lower speeds which is great.Fan) + 85 (Radiator) + 32 (Fan) = 149mm wide. This will not fit in that location, and I can't find a fan right now that will work in this situation. Do you offer any radiators? If not, I will have to find some radiator and fan combinations that can support multiple GPU. This case seems like it could benefit from a GPU riser system to achieve a higher density by moving some things out of the way, like you see on some high-end desktop cases. Considering the price, this should be within consideration as a high-end case. Other notable features include reserved mounting holes for sliding rails, 1 x USB Type-C interface, 8 x PCI expansions slots, and last but not least, case feet and handle bars to make transportation easier, and paving the way for vertical orientation instead of the usual horizontal orientation. For a review of the Zotac 4070 Ti AMP Extreme AIRO I was working on, I thought I’d compare it against the AMD 6950XT and an MSI 4070 Ti Ventus and run them all in this case. The Zotac 4070 Ti is a comically large GPU and I was barely able to shoehorn it in with a slim rad and standard 25mm fans in front. The MSI physically fit but after the horror stories of the new 12VHPWR fires, I didn’t attempt to bend the cables down enough to put the top panel on.

The rails are not included (seriously?) and they are overpriced as well. For the price of the rail kit you can get a heavy duty shelf kit which can be reused with other equipment.Considering the price, they could throw in a full-size rear fan instead of just leaving the hole pattern for one. As it is, you'll have to provide that yourself. The case comes with 2x 80mm PWM fans preinstalled. The model CC8025H12D doesn’t seem to match any of the current SilverStone fan line-up and appears to be made for them by CoolCox. See below the specification of the included fans. I’ll start by saying that this case is not designed for a rear radiator placement. I had to modify the fan holes to be able to attach the radiator as well as obviously placing it outside the case. Due to space constraints, I wasn’t able to fit any of my larger D5 pump/reservoir combos. I’d love to see a deeper version of this case. I typically go overboard on radiator space in my builds because I like near silence with single digit water to air deltas… This comes a bit short of those expectations. Putting a 460w load on the system running Folding@home on 20 CPU threads and full power on the GPU, puts the system in the mid teens water/air delta with fans ramping up to very audible speeds. As for the 12VHPWR connections, I wish they hadn't bothered. I already have plenty of custom cable sets and I think triple 8 pin PCIe power cables looks nice. If it weren't for the abysmal Folding@Home performance, I'd just go all AMD GPU's and not have to bother with the new connector.
