    regarding the smoke machine: As I have multiple years of experience working with stage equipment my guess would be that it hasn't been cleaned properly. The smoke fluid has to be drained and the machine has to be flushed with distilled water EVERY time after use. If you forget it 3 to 4 times you have to disassemble the whole machine to clean it with alcohole.

    For this price I would expect more modularity, such as being being able to do horizontal builds and a full flip left/right build or at least a option to build a mini-ITX build in the power supply compartment. I could see making a desk out of one of these in a horizontal build and a slaved second front panel mirrored on the other side of the desk; this would give the look of a car or trucks tail lights, or the engines of a space craft.

    I like Cooler Master's push for big fans in recent years. If they really wanted to develop a new fan platform, this case could easily house 240s in the top, and with some retooling the bottom and front as well.

      getting a front 5.25 bay with USB type C is the easiest thing. The HAF X will never get old because of this, whereas the new ones will be obsolete as soon as there's a new port in the market. On the other hand, i find myself using less and less cables so port count is becoming less relevant. Nowadays i do almost all data transfers through network/cloud, my headset is wireless etc.

Plus adding an additional 200mm fan on the top of the case, coupled with GPU brace/fan makes it that I'm getting crazy airflow through the thing. I think it was a good idea that Cooler Master added wheels to the thing, because it's seriously a big boy.

    Pretty crazy case! Crazy price, capabilities, and looks. One of my only gripes would be the lack of 5.25" bays cause I'm old school like that, but the aesthetics and fan possibilities is the trade off. Love seeing big fans, and lots of places to put normal sized ones. That cable management cover and the fan space next to the motherboard IO are definite cool points in my book. Undecided on the tool-less nature of the case, I always question the longevity of the mechanisms used; unsure if the ease of use outweighs the reliability of traditional methods. Other than the price, props to Cooler Master for taking the risk and making a case I'd totally consider if it weren't for the cost being more than the current value of my used build lol.

    • @j377yb33n

      Ah a man of taste and refinement as well I see. Honestly that's the actual reason why I went with my Phanteks, because you'll pry those optical drives from my cold dead hands and plus I also wanted to just mount a card reader in the front. No, I am not wasting a USB port on some messy looking external drive, and I've been charging my vape pens and plugging my HOTAS into that exact extra port I got with the 5.25 card reader anyway. I think if I had a 4th slot I'd probably be considering one of those old manual fan tuners at this point. You remember those? WIth the dials and shit in the front and some had the LCD panel showing you fan power?

      I have an 011D XL as well and love the case. I have the top exhaust and side intake rads in push and pull while the bottom intake rad in pull and then the rear exhaust fan. So total 16 120mm fans. Most are EK Vardar DRGB but I do have 6 Bitspower Touchaqua Njords as well. They are solid fans.

    Mine arrived a couple days ago. I can't tell you how much bigger this actually is in person. It is about 1/3 bigger than my aging HAF X which was already big. This case is gorgeous and looking forward to my Z690 build.

      What do you think? Have you finished your build in it. Im considering this case for my first watercooling build.

      @@Anilord000 The case is amazing but I have one issue and #coolermaster doesn't take care of customer service at all. I have filled out their form which is made to have you give up. They have no phone help either and they just ignore you when you finally get the form to work. My issue is the front panel has dust at the top that can't be cleaned. It's actually embedded inside the glass I suspect this happened when it was made. It's not horrible but an $800 case shouldn't have that. $150 case I would overlook it. The other thing to know is in order to use everything you need two 19 pin USB 3.0 ports on the MB. Mine only has one. I had to add a card which isn't a big deal but should be noted. I do love the case and the front LCD screen is really nice to add your own graphics. The CM software is bit wonky too. Everyone who sees my build is amazed mostly from the case. If they take care care of the front panel for me I would give it 5 stars.

      @@scotts4125 yea I've heard some pretty lousy things about the uselessness of their customer service. Basically if you got a problem, that's exactly what it is YOUR problem lol. I appreciate the info. If that's been the biggest issue I'll probably roll the dice and get one. Thanks again.

      I do follow WANshow and i know that Linus got some problems with a punk ass supplier. That didn't disclose that they got a huge order from a repetitive brand.
      That's the problem, when you as a newbie find a good supplier every other company knows about it. But I'm still pro FIFO First In First Out
      Just don't screw people over like this
