Just a shame it still comes with a glass back panel still.

Jayz2cents review is what made me decide to buy in the end. I was so impressed with the ease of build and tidy cable managment. Had it about 5-6 months now and still impressed with it. Clean simple design and great airflow.

Does anyone know what the stock fans are like in terms of noise levels? I see the specs show that they dont go below 600 rpm and i wonder if they are loud in idle?

Took me a bit to realise this is an Antec case. Surprised its not mentioned at all in this thread

At idle/low speed they are not audible at all. My RTX4090 / 7800X3D is whisper quiet. The fan can get a little loud at fuill RPM, but I set my fan curve so they never go to full RPM, they are very quiet at the max I set them too, 60% of max if I recall...

Glass panel behind the motherboard killed this case for me, reason why the Torrent (also too much plastic) and the Lancool 3 aren't for me.

What's the issue with a glass back panel?

I think the case looks nice, but it's quite the torrent rip off.

I have a Torrent and I love it. The glass back panel I forgot was even a thing until I read the above comments. For me it could be pink and I still wouldn't see it so...meh.

It's not needed imo, and even with the covers you'll still have some cables on show.

What do you mean on show? You mean if that back side of the case is on show like if you had it to the left of your desk instead of the right? Surely in the majority of cases, people have it in a position where the main window is on show more? Is that not the point of a windowed case? I mean I hear you, I feel it unnecessary too and completely pointless actually but, also a non issue for me.

Thanks very much for your reply.
