There are several brands out there that dare to explore the unknown and push the limits. This could be a specific material mix, manufacturing process, or cutting edge, unique designs. Brands like InWin, Deepcool, and Antec all offer cases that are not necessarily user friendly or a responsible choice, but they all offer some of what car enthusiasts would call that "super car vibe." FSP absolutely should be part of that illustrious list of brands with the T-Wings CMT710.

When we first saw the unit at trade shows, it immediately commanded our attention. Jam-packed with liquid cooling and able to hold two systems with its open chassis design and overall rather compact dimensions, it certainly looked awesome. You get the same feeling when first looking at the unit we received for review. it comes with the same material mix and rare dual-system design. At a price point of $499, we absolutely get to expect that the cool-looking chassis also comes equipped with some unique functionality or at least checks off every possible feature box for a complete and uncompromising experience.

You get the ability to have two fully fledged, clean systems, plenty of cooling, and ample storage space, so at first sight, the FSP T-Wings CMT710 certainly does.

Unfortunately, a few key elements did not make it into the final retail product even though we had seen them as part of the unit as late as of January 2020 at CES. There is no more RGB controller or dedicated power and HDD activity LEDs. Gone are the thick thumb screws with the textured sides that don't require a hex tool, and the RGB element was simplified from a clear to a milky white element, a basic housing for an LED strip.

Couple that with a few interesting design choices that created some shortcomings, and it feels a bit difficult to justify the price tag of the CMT710 over other cases in the same boat that, while designed very differently (considering that design is meant to be different and unique across each offering), offer more functionality for less. The FSP T-Wings CMT710 is a gorgeous chassis all around, but what made it to market is just a bit too far away from the initial vision presented to us and the public.
