Good case for a low/mid-power HTPC. I bought it because I had a specific space in my TV cabinet and its dimensions (especially the depth) were perfect. At first, I used it without a graphics card, only with an i5-6600. With this hardware, the temperatures were fantastic.
Later, a GTX 1060 was added and that's when its limitations started to show. Firstly, its height does not allow for large cards to be installed. For this reason, I used a small EVGA GTX 1060 SC Gaming. Even with that, the power cable required by the card barely fit. In fact, it needed a little push to close the top cover of the case. Additionally, in games that pushed the card, the 3 120mm fans it has were not sufficient, and the card throttled because it reached 83°C. The cabinet is also to blame for this. It was closed all around, and although it had about 6cm of clearance on the sides, it was probably not enough.
Other issues with this case are the noise from the airflow and cable management. The fans are not particularly noisy, but the filters and the airflow inside amplify the noise, especially when the fans are running at full speed. The noise is not noticeable at lower speeds. As for the cables, it is quite difficult to organize them, so a modular power supply is almost necessary.
The above would not be worth mentioning if the case cost less. However, the €120 it asked for at the time of purchase is quite high. It is recommended only for someone who wants to fit their computer in a specific space and does not plan to install a powerful graphics card. For cards that do not require additional power cables (GTX 1050, RX 460), I believe it will be just right.
