Pros:

Roomy dualchamber design for an easy build without obstructions, Cavernous cable management area, High quality construction, Hinged door a plus, Outstanding cooling performance
Lots of space for a high-end ATX build, Very good cable management, Three bundled 140mm fans, Primed for elaborate liquid cooling, Quick-release windowed side panel

Cons:

Component noise output due to high airflow design
No 5.25in drive bays, Does little to contain noise, Even bigger than the large Air 540, Lacks front-facing USB 3.1 Type-C
