Weaknesses:
The case leaves no room for proper cooling with an 1000Watt PSU, water cooler and an 3080Ti GPU.
You can feel the heat coming from the case, it's nice in the cooler space I work in during the winter months, not so much for the warmer months.
Additional Comments:
Sadly this case will likely sit in the corner of my office unless I can get rid of it on marketplace!
Don't waste your money like I did!

Strengths:
Looks cool
Versatile layout
Clean and easy cable management
Very small compared to others
Weaknesses:
Can handle the heat of large gpus
Additional Comments:
I love the clean, compact and minimalist look. It was very easy to pack a lot in this case. No problems with the stock fan and using a small GTX 1060 gpu, worked great for years. but when I upgraded to a RTX 3080 it was difficult to fit it in and it now has a problem with overheating the cpu and gpu. I’ve installed two more fans and still have heat issues I think because the psu is a solid block generating heat and also preventing airflow now that the gpu is so large and hot. I’m sad I need to change cases because I love the look, but it’s not a good case for cooling. due to the serious heat issues I have to give this an average rating.

Strengths:
Best and most compact case I've had yet, and the layout is brilliant. The smaller space means the built-in fans and move the air quite efficiently over parts, although adding a graphics card creates a bit of an airflow pocket in the bottom of the case I may remedy with a front fan (as my PSU sits in the top front).
The magnetic screens on the top and front are excellent and easy to keep clean, really minimizing dust.
Weaknesses:
With the PSU mounted in the front, it's difficult to utilize the screws to add another fan 120 fan in on the provided mount spots, but considering the whole chassis is a honeycomb I can probably improvise.
Additional Comments:
Definitely buying another one for another build. At this price point it's really hard to choose another case.

Strengths:
Super compact for a full ATX case with lots of cooling options. I love the removable magnetic filter scteens. Cable management is really easy in this case too. Locating the power supply at the front of the case with an extension for the power plug is an interesting approach and makes efficient use of the space inside.
Weaknesses:
I'm not sure if these are really unexpected because this is a lower budget case, but the steel is pretty light weight and will flex, and the acrylic window feels like it will scratch fairly easy. I'm ok with both of those because I don't intend to move this computer around or abuse it.
Additional Comments:
In general I'm extremely happy with this case and will 100% consider it again the next time I build a computer.
