How are the temperatures with the glass front?

What components do you have in there? MATX board?

Its an ATX Gigabyte Z97P-D3 with an i5-4690K @4GHz and a Vega 56 Pulse.

Very ready for an upgrade, but i'm settling with a case for now, will do the rest at the end of the year probably.

Temps are ok, fans are on low and Case and CPU both hovering around 27 atm.

Will run a stress test later to see how it handles.

*Edit* Just run 3dMark, looking at the temps at the end, System temp got to about 35.

Got mine setup. Happy with it except for the top 200mm seems to have a rattle.

Will run some tests and report back tomorrow.
 
Seems like there is some rattle coming from both the 200mm fans. But one is worse than the other. This is mainly detectable when on the lower fan mode (from what I see there is only two settings, low and high). When on high the rattle for the most part is gone.

Can you guys put your ear close to the 200mm fans when on low fan settings to see if you get any rattling noises please? Just wondering if I got unlucky or this is how they all are due to it being so cheap.

But yeah, apart from that, very good case for the money!

Got up close, and yep - there is a rattle. Turned it up to max, its still there, but fainter.

Turned it back down again - no rattle.

Notice the magnetic strip on the side? It is a GameMax one and was only three quid, currently hooked to my mobo. But like an idiot I did not realise they had ARGB ones for a couple quid more and I could have had that work on the fan controller and change at the same time as the 3 fans. Lol. Oh well, might just buy one of those also as they are so reasonably priced. All depends on how good their support is, as I have contacted them about the fan rattle to see what solution they can provide. If their support is good then I will buy two and also sing their praises here and elsewhere :)
 
Static pictures do not do it justice though, looks much better in person and build quality is very good. Cooling is very good also. Just wish the fans would not bloody rattle!

Not finished tidying up my cables yet by the way :p
 
Those magnetic strips look like a great finishing touch. I never thought I'd be one for windowed cases and RGB but I can't wait to pimp up my pcs :)

I do like RGB myself, could not give a toss what others think. I do go through phases though, as I also like the plain look also. ARGB is more fun though, can ways just turn it off when you get the girls round I suppose? The remote makes it easy to do. Lol :p
 
I've just ordered the ARGB version of the LED strips. Also have a gamemax velocity fan coming to fit to my Arctic freezer 33 and have cable extensions on the way.

This budget build is getting expensive I normally bearly look at pcs at this time of year but lockdown boredom has got the better of me.

I think I'll be using the kamakaze for my 1600 system and the F15 for my 2600 don't think I'll have the heart to post either of them back :)
