It does look amazing, but it's not for me. Too much glass. I yearn for the days when side panel fans were a given. I wish someone would make a modern case with a side panel fan. It's the single best way to add significantly more cooling to your GPU. I still remember my NZXT Tempest that I had back in 2009. The side panel fan reduced the GPU temps by 10°C.

These days, the best gaming cases have fans at the bottom that push air directly at your GPU fans. That's what this case does. Depending on the airflow design of a case, side panel fans can do more harm than good. Now that plastic side panels are gone, I don't see them coming back.

It still has a glass sidepanel (a smallish one) but the Havn BF360 I just moved to definitely prioritises air performance over a huge glass sidepanel
