perfection.
the first time i've seen an ATX case that wouldn't look out of place in a living room.
i love it

it looks like an air purifier. Not sure that's good or bad.

This would be a great case for a traditional Noctua themed build.

So, it's just another box, like every other case out there.
I have nothing against FD, heck, I use 3 of their cases right now ( all of my active cases are FD! ), it's just that... there's nothing left to innovate in computer cases. Not sure why even bothering "reviewing" a case.
A few pictures with no words are enough. End of story.

I like the wood trim--nice! I'm probably going to spring for a Meshify 2 when I go for my AM5 X3D in a couple of months...it's time for a new case. I like the case reviewed here just fine...nice review, but I like roomy mid-towers with lots of depth--always have--and it's possible I might wind up with an E-ATX mboard, maybe. Still debating with myself about that. But even with an ATX mboard, I like having the extra room in a case.
How do you like the ATX Asroc Steel Legend, HH? I really like the price! (I have one request, HH. Us primitive Americans across the pond are still on the Imperial measuring system, and it would be really nice if you'd start including inches with cm and mm...!)
Edit: Read the review on the Steel Legend. Great price, but no Clear CMOS back panel button, and I didn't even see a jumper listed. Well, I guess this one won't do--I have to have the backpanel Clear CMOS button.

well any case that prefers a window over a fan isnt taking cooling as serious as it could do.

It looks very nice and the price is finally right but why so smol? Also I wish there was a version with a solid panel, I'm so tired of glass.

There is an optional bracket for the mesh side panel that goes above and beyond any sidepanel fan mounts I've ever seen. Looks much nicer than the side mount option for my Define R5

I love the look of this case. I am going to be heavily considering swapping to the oak version.

If the case was all covered by some wood finish then it would look different and maybe cool.
But just having the front panle with some wood is kinda of weak.
It`s a good case, nothing more.

Imagine having a RTX4090 power connector related fire in this case, that wooden front would be smokin' π

Reminds me when on multiplayer games someone was loading for too long we where asking for fun if the player has a wooden PC .... This time someone might say ... Actually...yes!
