This review is for the WP200 system, which is the CORE W200 stacked on top of the P200.This is absolutely the best case I have ever owned or seen. I have built dozens of computers in various cases, but this is definitely the best.Pros:-Heavy!!! For me, this is a good thing. I don't like aluminum cases at all. This whole thing is solid steal. I fist tried the Corsair Obsidian 900D, mainly because it was a lot less expensive and seemed like a decent case, but the aluminum just didn't cut it for something so big.-Huge!!! There is so much room to work!! At the moment, I am using air cooling, but I will be installing a liquid system soon. There is definitely no lack of space. I could easily have three full independent loops if I want, one each for the CPU and two GPUs.-Fantastic design. It is extremely obvious that this case was designed by people who know how to build a computer. There are so many little details that you would only think to include if you've put together many computers. My favorite design feature is the fact that once built, the front, top, and side doors all come off without any tools. All that remains is the frame and the center divider. This makes working in the case extremely easy.-Wonderfully detailed instructions, that are also posted online as a pdf. The setup instructions go through the details of multiple configurations. I didn't have to look up a youtube video for anything.-Plenty of places to mount fans/radiators.-Back side can hold a combination of hard drives, another system, or cable management. There is a rack that can be installed that holds ten full size HDDs.-Clear Plexiglas panel is extremely thick and sturdy.-Included casters are really nice and heavy duty. Also, they lock.Cons:-Expensive, but 100% worth every penny.-Does not come built. You must build the case itself before you can build a system in it. For me this was some added fun. For others it may be some added frustration.-You will need internal extension cables, depending on where you want your power supply/optical drives. These cables can be hard to find. Also, the motherboard to the front bottom of the P200 unit pushes the max length of SATA III cables.-Heavy. I include this as a con, even though it's a pro for me. This case, fully built as the CORE WP200 weighs in excess of 90 pounds, and that's before adding a single internal component. My system, without having added liquid cooling yet, weighs over 110 pounds. Don't plan on moving this anywhere that it can't roll without the help of another person.Summary:Buy this case. You will not regret it. In fact, you will probably want to buy another to put your secondary build in, just because it's that awesome. Heck, you can even buy another and stack it on top of your first one because they are designed to be able to be stacked and bolted together. I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a case, but I don't regret it one bit.
