Good review !

It's sad that we are now celebrating when a case has front airflow instead of idiot companies covering it up with glass when there should never be any glass up front to begin with.

I wouldn't say that we are celebrating the airflow focus here. The lower temps are partially due to the extra fan and this case isn't much cooler, thermally, than the original.

For me, what sets this case apart is its great use of RGB, both inside and outside of the case. It looks great.

The first case they have made that I genuinely like.

Hmm....besides the ugly front it looks like a functional case at least.

Really good case overall.

I would really like to see them pair white cases with white Shadow Wings 2 fans. That combination would be brilliant.

I did ask bequiet do they plan white Silent Wings, but sadly they don't.
