Looks nice, I like the black and red colour scheme you've got. I bought this case today waiting for it to arrive. Where did you get that stand with wheels? I'm looking for something similar but all the ones I found online are too short, thanks :)
 
Can't see how to edit my post, but I think it's the Ikea Uppspel, in case anyone else was wondering.

The side GPU intake mesh/perforations are so small/dense it's hardly pulling in any air with 3 Noctua NF-F12 fans at 1000 RPM

The top mount isn't offset from the Mobo so if you are using a thicker then standard AIO like a Arctic Cooler it will interfere with 8 pin motherboard power. I had to use the factory flat style power cables rather than custom sleeved as didn't have room for the curve.

The front panel connectors are only long enough to go through the first bottom cable cut out if your headers are at the bottom of your board. This cut out is very small and barely leaves enough room for 2 PCIe power cables for your GPU you will not fit a third if your GPU requires it!

I had no issues with cable management at the back mine ended up nice and clean with no side panel bulge.

Temps are excellent over my old case and this thing is gorgeous still need to finish the RGB.

If Phanteks had continued the mesh pattern from the front panel to the side vents and top that would have been incredible and a big miss by Phanteks.

Nice! I'll be building in this as soon as my parts arrive. Quick question about the front panel connectors, are they those fiddly, individual ones or come in a all-in-one block? If former, I best go looking for my binoculars.

Nice build btw, I'm going white for the first time in my life, with RGB fans, (ordered two Phanteks RGB triple packs so I'll have 3x intake front and bottom, 3x exhaust top and 1x exhaust rear) weirdly I've never had any kind of RGB in my rigs so I guess it's a mid life crisis thing.
 
Afternoon, anyone know if there are any issues with the 4090 FE and closing the side panel due to the huge Nvidia adapter cable supplied?
 
Just finished building and can confirm the 4090 fits with just under 5cm from top of the card to the glass, so cable fitting was fine.

You could drill a larger holes in the side vent. x 3000 both sides too? :D
 
As per the case thread I've recently fancied a change and swapped my NZXT H9 out for one of these. Using a Fractal Design Adjust 2 for external RGB control. The Northern Lights effect works really well.

Might swap to some Corsair LX fans next.
