The cons are that there aren't many good ones on the market. Anything above matx is a bit of a monstrosity. Even so, manufacturers tend to screw something up. My Lian Li pc-v354 has the wost cable management to where it's pitiful. Fractal and Corsair also got it majorly wrong with the node 804 and air 240. Wide as balls and can't even take a 165mm tower.

I love them, I have the node 804 and it does everything I need it to. Dual chambers mean airflow is top notch, and even though the specs say the max cpu cooler height is 160mm I fit a be quiet! Dark Rock pro 3 (spec'd 163mm) in it with a little space to go. It has space for an absurd amount of radiators and fits the longest graphics cards on the market. The only issue I can find with it uses a matx motherboard, so no 3 or 4 way sli/crossfire and high-end AMD matx boards lack features and quality high-end Intel boards do.

Intel i5-6600K, be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, Asus MAXIMUS VIII Gene, 16gb Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4, 500gb Samsung 850 Evo, 2tb Seagate Barracuda, GTX 1080 EVGA FTW, Thermaltake Core v21, Seasonic M12II 850W
