Absolutely love it, can see how the styling would put some off but I'm already dreaming of the Watercooling possibilities...

for less than 500 ducats i would buy a Phanteks Entoo 719 or a Corsair Obsidian 1000D. both of which are designed for W/C and look a hell of a lot better. i own enough ROG gear for some to consider me a fanboy... NOT each and every one of the ROG cases are so butt ugly that to say so is to insult butts. plus, why didn't they put a slide panel over the top io? that's a serious cheeto dust magnet

I got my gaming PC builder to remove my top filter in my Corsair 5000T and simply cover the top when I'm not gaming. The benefit of the additional airflow for my AIO 360 is worth the minor inconvenience.

As Sir H regularly says 'looks are subjective' and I do think the Asus Hyperion is a striking & interesting looking case. Why in the feck does it have to be so fecking huge? My Corsair 5000T is easily big enough for any high end gaming spec (as are other similarly sized cases). The 5000T provides enough width for the 4090's and their power cable so it's not bent, enough depth for the largest of cards and enough height for the largest of mobos with enough room for radiators (top, side or front). If the Asus Hyperion had a sensibly sized smaller cousin, I'd have considered it along with the Corsair 5000T but like that huge dual chamber Thermaltake case, the Hyperion is OTT large. Surely only niche users genuinely require such massive cases, no gamer does in the age of single graphics cards?
