The box is massive and weighs 22 kg. No wonder only parcel 1 / 2 of the consignments was delivered and they'll deliver the other one the next day. I wonder if I can hire 8 pack to heft it around for me when it's fully built.
I'm sure there are bigger cases, but the View 71 is in a more conventional form factor than your TT 900, ergo it was more surprising to me that it was so heavy. Just one of the tempered glass side panels feel like half the weight of my previous Corsair Obsidian 750D case.
yes in sig
Yes, I use air cooling with this case....I bought this case as it looks superb and has tons of room, which makes building a breeze and has plenty of airflow. The quality is excellent, it really does tick all the boxes for a premium case. The tempered glass doors swing open and can be removed easily, the front and top panels just snap off to gain access. I have 2 140mm fans on the front and 2 140mm at the top, with 1 140mm exhaust.
With the drive cages removed the build looks clean as all the SSD/HDD are moved to the other side.
I think I spent more time routing cables and making everything perfect than was necessary but having glass on both sides warrants a 'tidy' build - and yes it does look good.
With all the glass in place the case is heavy - I'd recommend all the glass is removed before moving it about.
My only gripe with air cooling is my intention was to mount the gfx card vertical so I bought the cable riser only to find that due to the Noctua cooler size the card wouldn't fit in the vertical bracket. No fault of the case but something to consider if using a big air cooler.
Perhaps a PSU shroud could have been considered but if cabling is tidy then its not a big deal.
