I finally bit the bullet and bought this case, although it wasn't needed, I loved the simplistic design and knew I would get one eventually.
My trusted old (mid 90's) ATX case has been retired, and I could hear an immediate audible difference once fired up, it was so much quieter.
One thing I noticed was mine came with a tempered glass side window, NOT acrylic as mentioned here previously.
The interior is spacious and there is room for up to 6 SSD's (or 2 HDD'S + SSD's) if you're a storage nut.
The only issue I had was installing the PSU, which has to be fitted to the mounting bracket first, then placed in the case and fastened, my PSU was too big to fit in the opening, so a slightly smaller, yet still standard sized PSU was used.
Am I bothered by the lack of USB C ports? Not likely as I have yet to purchase any devices that have it.

As for the smokey perspex front, I love it, overlooking the fact it may get scratched easily, the RGB fans are the highlight and show off it's appearance to it's fullest.
