I'm seriously considering getting one to put my old PC parts in. I intend to have two fans at the top as intake with the rear fan as outtake and cooling the cpu with air (NH-U12S). This will in time be taking a 970 as well, will I need a "blower" design card to avoid heat building up too much or will the normal 2/3 fan design cards be ok?
 
I have one of these, I have 2x 120 intake at top, one outtake at rear on watercooler and one 200 on bottom as outtake, I am using a 970 reference. haven't meaursured temps but seems cool enough, worth getting a fan controller as well.

ALSO I cant stress enough this is a very hard case to build in, everything is either back to front or upside down. check your PSU, you want a shorter modular one as possible. makre sure you put everything in you want at time of build , you wont want to go back in afterwards. The side panel has the USB and all the mobo connectors on. so you will need 8 hands to put that on.

Watch some youtube videos.

on plus side, its looks good when finished, I wanted it for VR in living room, so iddnt want it looking like a "PC"

I understand you can swap the two side panels around (so the one with the connectors etc is on the opposite side) to facilitate running the cables. Can you confirm this is possible?
 
I have read that someone had reversed the panel, but I had already built it.. I cant confirm it. but they look identical.

Just take the build slowly you may have to move things around more than once
