Why this product
ARGB lighting with multiple sync options
Comes with Light Wings PWM fans featuring ARGB at front and rear, plus additional ARGB LEDs on the front panel. Connect to an ARGB controller or synchronize directly with your motherboard.
Extreme radiator and component capacity
Supports radiators up to 420mm, E-ATX motherboards, and the largest graphics cards on the market. Seven expansion slots and eight 2.5" drive bays give you room to build without compromise.
Optimized airflow for water-cooled systems
Extremely air-permeable front and top covers combined with four pre-installed 140mm fans deliver 95.1 m³/h of airflow at full PWM while staying quiet at 23.3 dB(A).
USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type-C on the front
Front I/O includes one USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type-C port plus two additional USB 3.2 connectors, letting you connect modern high-speed peripherals without reaching the back panel.
Tempered glass side panel for visibility
Tinted and tempered glass with black painted side bars offers a clear view of your build while keeping reflections minimal.
Sound-dampening on rear panel
A sound-absorbing pad on the rear side panel reduces operating noise from components and fans during use.
