Customers are mixed about the airflow of the computer chassis. Some mention that the layout is tight, but does allow decent airflow if cable management is planned. They appreciate the plentiful empty space inside, which means great airflow. However, other customers say that the cable management inside impedes airflow in a significant way, and the case has horrible air flow. They also say that there is an airflow dead zone in the front-center of the case, and that the air flow options are limited.
"...and finish, and the intake filters are very effective, without affecting the airflow too much...." Read more
"...Matx board sits directly in the middle of this case, immediately blocking airflow into or out of the case, depending on your fan setup...." Read more
"...install 120mm case fans instead of 80mm, and the copious empty space inside means great airflow.The case never got in the way of the build...." Read more
"...-Airflow options are limited. PSU can be used to exhaust air from inside the case, or it can be isolated and draw air from the left rear fan mount...." Read more

This is plenty capable of being a gaming HTPC or desktop PC, with room for a decent air cooler and even more room for a larger cooler if you only had M.2 drives or just 1 HDD/SDD so you could remove the optical drive tray. I am using the Noctua NH-U9S in a Pull configuration. If this were an HTPC with an optical drive, a low profile cooler would probably be needed (such as the stock Ryzen cooler), in order to plug in the optical drive. Optionally one could try right-angle connectors to make that configuration work with a tower cooler.
I think the case has a good fit and finish, and the intake filters are very effective, without affecting the airflow too much. Plastic front instead of actual brushed aluminum is a shame but the case looks great in an entertainment center regardless. The general build quality is very good, with hefty black aluminum for the case. The supplied screws are pretty cheap, but they work.
Three downsides I can think of are the lack of thumb screws for the cover, which can be easily replaced by aftermarket thumb screws, and the strangely large and bulky USB header cable which is much too long and feels like it has reinforced rubber that is overkill just for 2xUSB 3.0 headers. The 120mm fan that comes with the case also happens to be the noisiest even though it's a low-RPM fan. If this weren't a gaming PC then it would be an OK fan to keep at low speed, but for a gaming build you would probably want to replace it with a higher quality fan.

I purchased the largest model without the locking front plate. I was able to gain about an inch of space deeper and about half an inch taller, just enough space to fit the graphics card. This is about the only positive I can give the case layout if you choose to use some pretty traditional computer components and the default setup then case comes in. For the actual size of the case, you have very limited space to work and store each PC component.
The graphics card on a traditional Matx board sits directly in the middle of this case, immediately blocking airflow into or out of the case, depending on your fan setup. In my case, I took advantage of the 2 smaller fan slots in the back of the case. That right side contains my processor and memory, so I want as much airflow as possible in this area, especially with this section of my PC being walled off from all fans located on the power brick side on the left of the case.
The left of the case also gets the benefits of more open space for airflow and the fans of the graphics card pointed it that direction. I can get a good negative airflow on the left of the case with this setup, but for what if my processor is cooking? Once again, I recommend adding fans wherever possible where they are missing on purchase. Did I add your only space to add a mechanical hard drive and optical drive also sit stacked on top of one another right above that processor?
I tried to add my standard size mechanical drive to this setup, but the graphics card sat flush with the data connector of the drive, which created enough pressure to break the plastic off of the connector while trying to install the optical drive and hard drive in tandem. Part of this is the fault of the size of the graphics card, but a majority of this issue was in the design of the case. My previous Silverstone case did not have this setup issue, whereas the HDD sat instead above the power supply.
My recommendations would be to go completely SSD with this case, as you can potentially fit 4 drives depending on your setup. There is a place to attach an SSD to the floor of this case. You can buy a 3.5" dual SSD bay and install 2 drives in place of a HDD which wont fit without a fight. If you have a newer PC board, you should be able to get a M.2 SSD to fit directly to the board to keep a low profile. Buy a modular PC power supply to cut down on clutter and to improve case airflow. Expect to spend time setting up this case, and to spend time taking the case apart any time you need to work on any component inside the case.
I purchase these cases specifically for the look and because they fit cleanly in entertainment centers. I can create greater home theatre PC's from them, however they definitely have their limitations in form factor and are not pleasant to work in at all. But if I can build a gaming rig with one of the largest graphics cards on the market with it, then the case more than serves its purpose.
Top reviews from other countries
Many FAQs about graphics cards in these cases are saying they will fit fine because of length, but don't consider height.
Lots of detail on other reviews so I won't go over them again. Works great with a DVD drive installed with a ryzen 2700 and wraith spire cooler. Won't fit the wraith prism cooler though without removing the DVD drive. but I can't blame it for that as it is a huge cooler, and there are many capable alternative coolers that will fit.
Running R3 1200 at 3.950GHz with GTX 1060 6gb on a 450 watt Bronze+ PSU. Temps are very reasonable and no thermal throttling.
For those complaining about noise, it really comes down to fan profiles and the fans you buy to supplement the system. There is some fan noise, however it is only audible (even under full load) when there is no audio source playing. Watching movies, playing games, listening to music, etc. Any audio source at low volume easily drowns out any case noise you might hear.
In my setup in particular I am running an aggressive overclock on my cpu as well as fan curves that run at 50% all the time and ramp to 90% at 60c. It has enough airflow (with 2 120mm fans added) to let my R3 1200 run stable at 3.95GHz and hit a 605 in Cinebench15. Even with that the case is still not audible when a audio source is playing at any reasonable volume. I've paired this with a Schiit Modi 2 USB DAC on a simple 2.0 tower speaker setup and it's truly fantastic.
The best part is that this case will be able to carry me through several upgrades (so long as usb 3.0 remains supported) given that it fits a standard ATX power supply, standard ATX motherboards, and graphics cards just over 12" in length. You would be hard pressed to find a better HTPC case for the price.
Now, the downsides. Not as many drive bays as I'd like, especially for 2.5" SSD drives. However this can be overcome with some creativity and industrial velcro. The structural support bar makes a great mounting point for SATA III SSD's and depending on your cooler you could easily get 2 (maybe 3) mounted there even with a 5.25" drive (DVD/Blu Ray). The other downside is that this case does not have any thumb screws. You will have to pull out a screwdriver to do anything with it. I don't see this as a big deal as a HTPC is usually only torn into to upgrade and if you are doing that I expect that you'll be taking most components out anyway; but others may complain about the lack of thumb screws.
Take home message for this is that the case is astounding at it's price point. Lots of space for most users, supports standard ATX sizes, runs more than quiet enough and had good build quality.
