Pros:The case aesthetically looks amazing and is made of durable, solid materials (case plates are made of steel, and the front plate is made of thick, solid, high-quality plastic). The case looks and feels high quality because it is. The material of the case seems resistant to oil/dust impressions, which is just another tick on the list of "nice-to-haves" this case has, and overall contributes to its high-quality look and feel.There are many options to customize the RGB strip's color using the motherboard control box. Blue, green, red, purple, and white are the ones I came across. White/Blue is shown in the pictures.The case supports a horizontal or vertical position, whichever you prefer, attachable foam kickstands for both options are included.As for airflow/temperatures, the case does very well. My CPU temps at idle are 30C-40C, with a 34 degrees C average over 2 hours of usage (internet/video streaming/minor programs only). During the same timeframe, my GPU temps were between 30-42 C.Under load (playing Grim Dawn), the temperatures also did very well. CPU ran 38-55 C and the GPU at 45-55 C, with the default (quiet) fan profiles being set. I think even better GPU temps could be achieved if you are willing to change fan profiles.Under a heavy load (playing MH: World to test): CPU ran 46-67 C and GPU ran 65-76C with default fan profile. Still pretty good.So overall, if you are wanting a small form factor case, with great airflow, this is a good option.Cons:The RGB header that is attached to the case for hookup to the motherboard (to control the RGB strip via motherboard software) doesn't work with ASUS motherboards (and probably quite a few others) and is proprietary. You won't be able to control the RGB strip via your motherboard without getting some sort of adapter (which I don't know if it actually exists). Silverstone does not provide an adapter to work with motherboards which have 5V addressable header. Only ones that have a 12V header will work with this case without any adapter.Cable management is an absolute nightmare, it was possible for me, but it literally took hours (1-2) and multiple (5+) revisions. Do not buy a 150 mm PSU. It says that it would fit, but I don't know how. I bought a 140 mm PSU and it barely fit. It was VERY tight to get everything inside and manage the cables in an appropriate way. A picture is attached to see how cable management was done.The case is not easy to work in.Full build:ASUS ROG STRIX B360-iIntel Core i5-8400Cyrorig C7GTX 1080 Windforce OC by GIGABYTECorsair Vengence LPX 2x 8GB @ 2666SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 650 W PSU (140 mm)Silverstone RVZ03B (this case)
