Fractal Design Torrent RGB Black - Light Tint Tempered Glass Panels - Open Grille for Maximum air Intake - Two 180mm RGB PWM and Three 140mm RGB Fans Included - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

First computer case I've built in in several years. The no tool side and top removal as well as lots of internal space made it a snap to put the new system together. Made cable routing and management fairly easy too.In operation is cool and quiet as advertised - barely hear the cases fans unless they have to turn on 100% which is very rare even on a high power system, only ever happened when I've run a stress test.Ended up not using the built-in fan controller, since I wanted to see all the fan RPMs individually as opposed to controlling everything at the same level.Only thing to be aware of is the size and weight may be overkill for many people.

I really like this case with the solid side panel. I know tempered glass looks great and generally pretty durable, but I prefer the idea of metal since this won't really be a showpiece.The fans are pretty quiet unless running at high speeds, and building inside this case was really easy. Lots of room and the cable ties make it easy to keep things fairly organized. A 4090 easily clears inside this case without bending the 4X PCIe -> 12VHPWR adapter severely.The biggest negative I've discovered is the lack of handles on this case or easy way to pick it up. The top panel is plastic and not designed for picking up from, so you pretty much have to carry it from the bottom any time you want to move it. In other words, not the case to go for if you want to haul your rig around to LAN parties.Something that's not necessarily a negative or positive but just to be aware of is that the front panel audio connectors don't seem to have a TRRS connector, so you'll need to split out separate headphone/mic jacks. Would have been nice to see a Y adapter come with the case so that you can connect your typical 3.5mm gaming headset.This is my favorite case to date though. No, it's not the quietest, but for an air cooled build it offers unrivaled performance. If you're thinking of adding water, maybe look at saving a few bucks with a Meshify 2 or 2XL.

I wanted a case with no glass panel or RGB and was excited when this case got great reviews for air cooling as I admit to being a bit of a fractal fanboy and still shy away from AIO's if I can help it. If I had known the compact was going to come out I might have waited for that but hey, that's life.Running a 13700K with an AK620 +3070 and I did have to undervolt to keep from throttling at full load for extended periods but under typical workloads/gaming the AK620 does a surprisingly good job. I'll mention here I was going to get a Noctua NH-D15 but my old system motherboard (an old Xeon workstation) decided to crap out on me at the worst time so I had to settle for what Microcenter had to get back up and running ASAP.This case was easy to build in, easy to cable manage, came with all the fans needed and does a great job with those fans. While on the expensive side decking out most cases with good 2x180mm + 3x140mm fans would add quite a bit to the cost so it's actually not that terrible. And as no RGB gang I'm happy Fractal still offers solid side panels on some of their cases, but I know I'm in the minority on that one.

This case was a literal breeze to work with. It has near silent 180mm fans along with three 140mm fans on the bottom all able to be connected to a fan controller, so you can set your own curves with whatever software you use. Taking the side panels off and on is extremely simple. Taking the front 'part' of the case off to get at the filters is also extremely simple. Inside it has more than enough room to build out water cooling or to use very large graphics cards. My tower cooler which needs 168mm of clearance works just fine. Price wise it is a little exepensive but seeing as I upgraded from a Define R4, which I got nearly a decade ago, it is worth it for something I will probably build in for a long time. Overall this is a fantastic case.

This case will fit any atx board. Just don't buy it for a rear connector ATX. Will not work. Loved the case Just did not wanna start over on another MoBo.

I have to admit I bought this case based purely on looks I had seen it on several YouTube review channels and I loved the clean look of the large fans and the repositioning of the power supply to the top. This unique idea allowed for smoother airflow and a better overall build. I was slightly concerned since I had a Corsair AIO and didn't want to lose cooling, but it was time for me to switch cases, so I took the leap. I figured that I could always buy a new AIO down the road if things didn't work out. I have to say this is by far the best case I have ever built in, and it has exceeded my expectations for both form and function it is gorgeous, and as the Torrent name suggests it stays very cool without much effort. I would recommend this to anyone who has a gaming system and doesn't want to spend all the time with water cooling rigid pipe or any of that other stuff. I mean it's not like you couldn't do it in this case if you didn't want to. I am pleased to know that this will last for a good long time and I have flexibility going forward when I am ready to build in it again.

This case is ginormous. If you've gotten accustomed to standard ATX sized cases like me, this is definitely another breed. If you have space constraints, definitely plan for its external dimensions plus enough space in front and behind for air to flow.The case itself, I couldn't be happier with. The case comes with documentation depicting clearly what adjustments you should make if using an AIO CPU cooler. Mine shipped in the standard air-cooled configuration. The fans are enormous, pretty, and very effective. I'd certainly buy another one if I were building another system soon.

Looks great, airflow is amazing, and build quality is great.
