Thoughts on the Dark Base 700?

[nothereanymore]

Been looking at a new case since Phanteks QC has disappointed me, and the Dark Base 700 caught my eye. So far, all reviews seem to praise it for noise and build quality, which is exactly what I'm looking for. The aesthetic is also quite nice, so I'm willing to dish $220 CAD for it. Just curious, does anyone here own it? If so, how is it?

Looking at it it looks ok

 

Check the Fractal Design Define series, I have one, it's very high quality and quiet.

That would have been my next choice had the Dark Base 700 not fared well. I was looking at the Define C, as the Meshify seems... odd. It looks very nice, but it seems a little short in terms of length. I'm not the best cable manager, so I have a feeling it would be an uglier job than in the Dark Base 700.

I'm a terrible cable manager, the first build I ever cable managed was in the Define C TG. IMO it's a pretty nice job. There are a lot of locations where you could slip a ziptie through if needed, and cable holes.
