Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 3 x 120mm fans pre-installed, so a basic intake/exhaust setup needs no extra fans
  • ✓ Fits graphics cards up to 340mm long and CPU air coolers up to 160mm tall (manufacturer spec)

Cons

  • ✗ 340mm GPU clearance rules out some of the longest triple-fan cards, a few of which run past 350mm; check your card's length
  • ✗ 160mm CPU-cooler clearance is short of the tallest tower air coolers (the Noctua NH-D15 is 165mm)
  • ✗ Price, stock, shipping and returns are set by the retailer and may have changed since this page was last updated
