## Available Options

This product comes in different **Color, Style** options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of wood is used for the front panel?**
A: Depending on the model, it's either American White Oak or American Black Walnut.

**Q: What is the maximum CPU cooler height?**
A: The maximum CPU cooler height is 170 mm. If mounting the side fan bracket in the top or middle position, the max height would be 145 mm.

**Q: How would the temperature be affected if adding fans to the side fan bracket?**
A: Results vary, as different builds respond differently to the same fan setup. Testing is key. In our tests, side fans with a front radiator lowered GPU temps, while CPU temps stayed about the same. Placement and overall setup also matter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great case, with a few minor issues
*by A***N on 12 December 2023*

I love this case, it looks gorgeous and I 100% intend to continue to use this, however, why there is no dust filter on the top is beyond me. I imagine the mesh on top is intended to act as a dust filter of sorts, but I can promise you it does not. It is a somewhat small case, in that I had a fright trying to install my XFX 7800xt 319, because the card itself was longer than the width of the glass pane so I had to twist the card a bit to fit it. I would not be comfortable putting a front radiator in this case, but top radiators are better anyway. I'd recommend 2x140mm fans in the front, not the included ones, I find the Aspect 140mm fans to be very loud for 140mm fans, as intake, a rear 120mm exhaust, and a 280mm AIO on top as exhaust. The position the stock fans came in was great, it is almost like my cpu and gpu have their own intake fans because of this, but I find the CPU 8/16pin slot to be too small and not in a great position. It is amazing to build in otherwise though, nice deep cable channel towards the front of the right side panel with 3 preinstalled velcro cable ties, it comes with a few(4 I think) standard zip-ties in the accessory box, the mesh model comes with a fan hub too, though the TG one does not. It has some nice quality of life stuff with it, the middle MOBO stand-off isn't a screw one rather a positioning one that makes installation easier, all panels are easily removable, and the HDD & SSD brackets are great, though with a Corsair SATA power cable, I had to bend the cable to plug this in. If you are buying this case, it won't be for price, or anything like that, it will be purely for the looks of it, and it is damned gorgeous
