Spacious, adaptable, quiet.
Having bought this for a server build, I found myself drawn to switch my main computer into this from a Fractal Design R5, as it seems more solid and quiet focused.Although missing more case fan spaces compared to the R5, this does a good job at retaining the important spaces, at the front, back and optional top (with acoustic covers if not used!).I have an Corsair H115I 280mm AIO cooler mounted to the front (the only space for input fans), and a single low-profile Noctua fan for the rear. The stock case fans have been used in another build, however they run very well, and are considerably quiet for their throughput.I run a Ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 3070Ti, One heat-sinked NVME and one storage SSD, and the idle temperatures with mostly default fan speeds are approx. CPU 40 (AIO is quite old now) and GPU 30. This is only a few degrees hotter than my previous case with double the fans, and even in gaming mode handles the heat and volume well.The case itself is very minimal on the outside, but inside has a nice well thought out interior design, with a PSU shroud extending the length of the case, with hard drives primarily mounted underneath, in the shroud and out the way of the rest of the interior.The spacious rear-motherboard cavity allows for very easy cable management, and large space infront of motherboard allows for larger style graphics cards. It comfortably held my Noctua NH-D15, with both installed cooler fans pointing directly out of the rear exhaust.All these small design choices allow the case to remain quiet, whilst allowing for the maximum airflow with minimal fan setup. Allowing the PSU, cabling and hardrives out of the airflow also has the massive boon of further helping airflow and cleanliness of the case in general.

Amazing
Looks great, it was very easy to build into, has a lot of space for the size, it has built in cable management trays on the back, the performance of the airflow is great, its easy to clean and it costs very little.

Good case. Easy installation.
Well made, well thought out case with plenty of space/volume. Nice quiet case fans. No LED bling here though that is an option if you like that kinda thing. Nice that the PSU is in a shroud at the bottom. Plenty of room to hide power cables. Good mounting points for hdd and ssd. Bonus is hidden 5.25" drive bay at the bottom if you need a cd drive.

Amazing Case!
The media could not be loaded. This has single handly be the best quality PC Case I have owned, every cut and finish is literally perfect, the metal is like silcky smooth and extremely premium feeling, it has 3 pre installed 120mm fans, a hidden compartment that has a little drawer for little bits and bobs, it performs very well and honestly is outstanding for the price, I have loved this case so far, there is absolutely nothing wrong that I can say about it, it looks beautiful, its built premium and Amazon delivered it with care. One happy customer, and will highly recommend this!

Brilliant PC Case
I highly recommend this PC case to anyone who is looking for a new case or just starting to build a new PC, As this PC case so nice and cool for my component’s inside the case and also if you don’t like the fans what come with it you can swap them out for some faster ones but the ones what do come with the case spin at 1100rpm at full speed and that’s cool enough for inside the case, but overall the airflow is brilliant as it’s has a honeycomb mesh for the front and also you have a dust mat for the top of the case which is very nice to have and nice and cheap for what the case actually is as it’s top quality.

It's quiet, sleek and has some really nice features but the airflow isn't great
I love the look and feel of this case and the noise reduction was amazing. It has a nice little tray at the front that's great for holding screws and cables and hides away behind a magnetic panel cover that maintains the sleek design. The fans that come fitted are good, 1200rpm fans that are quiet but don't have great airflow and there's only 1 vertical air vent at the front so I had to swap the fans for 1550rpm ones that increase the noise a little bit but improve the airflow a lot

Very versatile but annoying usb type c
I am going to uni this year and I have quite an expensive pc. (19 13th gen, 4070, etc)This meant that I wanted a case that wouldn’t reflect that, I wanted something that would be unassuming yet have all the cooling and space to house my pc.The case came quick and with no damage which is a bonus.Transferring my old parts was simple and very quick, it took no longer than an hour. The front panel comes of easily but you don’t have to take that off as the case comes with three fans on the front pre-installed.There is a modular system of this case, for example, there is space for a 240mm radiator at the top and a magnetic mesh that covers the top. This can be swapped for a plastic cover which sits flush with the metal top panel.Another thing about this case that blew me away is the hidden from the front with another magnetic panel. Behind this are 2x5.25” case mounts. I use this for a dvd drive and a SIM card and usb slot panel. There is also a tray that comes with the case if you don’t need the slots for anything else.Onto the only downside with this case.On the top there are some usb 3.0 ports, a headphone and speaker jack and a punch out for a usb type c port. The case doesn’t come with the usb type c cable to go to the motherboard this you have to buy separately - annoying. I know that it’s probably to do with the costs but I would have easily paid more for the case even if it didn’t have the punch out.Overall, the pop xl silent has been my favourite case I have bought, it’s unassuming in a good way and blocks all the rgb that Icue won’t let me turn off.5 stars for me!

Great case
Only complaint is the front io panel conectors but thats it (they are usually hard to install anyways)

Great airflow, overtightened stripped screw...
Great airflow for high end pcs especially, lowered maximum cpu temperatures by 10°C on Helldivers 2.There was a screw that was overtightened from the factory preventing me access to the 5.25" bay mounts, one turn and the screw was ruined. Now 5.25" devices are only attached to one mount, making them move when pressed. Very annoying.Otherwise a good case!

Good stuff
I needed to upgrade to a new bigger case and this perfectly suited my needs.

NEED USB-C adapter on top!!
Be warned, you'll need to purchase a either a USBhub that has a USB-c port if you intend to connect any sort of soundcard to this device. Otherwise you'll be purchasing a "d-link cable" off the fractal website which feels like a bit of a $$ grab to me personally. It's a nice case though and fit my rtx4070 just fine.

Awesome mid-tower
The build quality is excellent and cable management is decent. The only two complaints I have are that there is no front intake filter and the bottom filter slides out the back instead of side or front.Easily fits a Noctua NH-D15 and 4070ti

Love this case even more after all my rebuilds.
Liked the case so much, I got two of them!UPDATE: Finished my build. Was upgrading from an old case, so that took some extra time. The Rear fan was hard to remove and had to pry the tab a bit to remove the wire. The external bays barely fit back in the case without using the provided shallow screws. I am unable to put the bay cove back on due to the levers on my hat swap dives. It was a bit tight in the basement, but was able to hide a lot of the wires good. I really liked the top cable management slot as it made it easier to run wires. If you ae puting an AIO on top, you have to completely wire the mobo ahead of time. I had so many wires on the underside, I was surprised, it was easy to put the side panel back on. This is the best case in recent years for lining uup GPUs and other cards. Normally, I have to pivot the card in order to get good access to the ports. This case was perfect and I didnt have to adjust the card at all. The slotted front and back fans are awesome as you can adjust the airflow by sliding the fans up and down before final tightening. The wider case is amazing and gives a lot of flexibility in wiring and HD placement. The basement is great to hide extra wires. Great air flow as well. I like I was able to put my 240 AIO on top easily,ORIGINAL:Summary: Overall this case is great. No sharp edges and pretty good in the flexibility department. I spent about an hour just reviewing the case to become familiar with it, so I could plan my build. I am very excited to start.Details. I have been building systems for a looong time and am very picky about my components. I also need to have external bays which seem to be harder to come by these days. I like to have my DVD reader/writer and I like to have my platter drives and SSD drives in hot swap bays. This case has 2 bats, I could use a third, but I will make due. I currently have a fractal G which has been great, but the external drives make it hard to put the radiator on top. With this case, I have more flexibility since the case is wider and the bays are at the bottom. There is actually room up top or even in the front. I also have learned to appreciate being able to see inside the case as well as the argb fans. I neve much cared about that, but have frown to like the colors and visibility. Before getting this case, it was difficult to see how the external bays looked as well as if you could see the fans through the front panel. That why I took so many pictures in case anyone else wanted a little bit more clarity. The front mesh is perfect and you will be able to see your fans no problem. The basement of the case is a bit challenging to access, but it doable once you remove both side panels and the front panel. There is a spot in the basement for 2 3.5 drives which you have to remove if you want to use the external bays. However, you can remove both easily and even relocate one of then to the side of the case, since it is wide enough as shown in the pics. There is actually room where they could have allowed both on the side, but didnt. Also, you can just remove the top bracket and install one ODD in the top bay leaving the bottom HDD tray and the little pull out tray in use.I was surprised of the quality of that little tray as it snaps in perfectly. I will be removing the included fans and replacing with my own. I dont even know why they include them. The case easily holds the normal 120s, but also the larger ones. Cable routing seems pretty good and a lot of it can be hidden in the basement especially if you are wiring anything in the external bays. I really like how they decided to use that space for the external drives, it really cleans up the wiring and for people who dont have drives, it doesnt interfere with the look and functionality. Nice clean look with or without ODD. Yes it would be nice if they had the HDD light and reset buttons, but I can live without. I never use the usb or audio functions on the case so I could live without that. I think they should have the reset on there for either resetting or connection to your RGB controller. And I think they should include the little speaker that connects to your mobo. Nice to hear the beeps when it is starting up. The pc speaker used to be part of the case in the old days lol. Great flexibility and a nice clean look. Fractal is becoming my favorite case maker.
