Super cool looking PC
I really love this PC case. It was so incredibly easy putting it together but I am super curious as to why my GPU is 10° hotter in this PC case as compared to my older and not as cool looking PC Case. My PC still runs perfectly fine and is completely healthy even at 10° hotter, but I am just curious as to why it runs hotter.

Super compact and unique!
Really cool, low-footprint case that is super compact. The fact that it is so compact comes with caveats. Yes, it can fit a full-size ATX board, but it only has 3 expansion slots. Something to keep in mind. I had a 10Gb network card I was using, but I can't use it because the GPU is using all the slots.
Other things to note. The GPU chamber is long but could use some extra z-axis width. The power cables have to make a pretty tight bend. Some cards will also have clearance issues in the case toward the back end. Mine fits, but it is flush with the case, and I cannot 100% fully seat the card because the case is preventing that. It seats enough where it still works. The GPU sag bracket also requires cards with screw threads; not all cards have this. I was able to rig a workaround. I am running an EVGA 3080 Ti.
I LOVE how the case looks, and I am liking the temperatures. The design works.

Fantastic case and conversation piece
This was my first PC build and I'm glad I chose this case! Incredible quality and the AIO makes the install incredibly easy. It gets so many compliments- highly recommended!
