I have got one, it's a solid case. However im not a fan of the front, mine scratched easily, and it's a fingerprint magnet. The drive cages are removable which is good for airflow. The case is really quiet. Built in fan controller does the job, the included fans aren't too bad either.

I like mine a lot. There isn't a plethora of room for custom water cooling, but it's plenty big for an aio cpu water cooler. Definitely leans toward air cooling. But it's very nicely made, included fans are desent enough, fully removable hard drive cages if you want to get creative in there, and I persnally love the sleek, simple yet elegant aesthetic.

I personally don't really care about scratches too much and appreciate the quiet. :o

It is very solid and very quiet. i loved how much room it had on the back side for cable management also.

Yeah the spec sheet says more than an inch :o
