And it's a no from me.
It needs a solid panel behind the motherboard (not glass), to allow for cable management. The tempered glass door would also be better hinged or a better mounting system than 4 thumb screws.

I think the glass panel behind the motherboard is an improvement. It allows the builder to show off good cable management, and it allows the SSDs to be visible.

Agreed...this is for that person that takes total pride in their system build and cable management...most of us stuff wires more sloppily behind the MB tray...this case is not for most of us.

I spent some time with the cables behind the tray on my 600C, and still it is nowhere near good enough to have a glass panel showing it off IMHO...lol. :)

If its one thing Phanteks cares about, its cable management. The few pics here do not do this case justice. If that MB panel is anything like mine, its pretty damn solid. But I guess you'd have to own one to know.

I kinda like the thumbscrew mounting for the glass panel, it opens up case modding options.

I believe he meant solid as in not glass/see through. I'm sure the entire case is solid in the way you meant (build quality). I really like Phanteks stuff... always top notch gear for the niches they fill. I want to see the other colors, especially that grey.

well, that secondary visible panel may be as others have said, to show your epic cable managemente, and also SSD's... makes sense, also the mounting system is not for me, too rustic for a modern designed case, but still great option, nice case!

I dig the slide out tray for fans / radiator mounting. Would make it alot easier to clean / service a system.

I own the Pro M with the acrylic panel and can say the thumb screws are the dumbest part of this case to hold that piece up.
