Asus ROG Strix Helios RGB ATX/EATX Mid-Tower Case - White Edition

I built my second rig using this case and was amazed by everything this case has to offer. Just the graphics and the tempered glass panels make this case a show piece on all on its own. 420mm rads up front, 360mm rads up top and a kit to vertically mount your GPU included. A built in GPU bracket and more room and then anyone should ever need to house your PSU cables. After building in this case you’ll be hard pressed not to buy a second one.

It's a beautiful computer case, easy to build in, easy to cable manage. It's well made, sturdy and HEAVY. The straps at the top are really useful for carrying it around, but they may be interfering with the exhaust capability if you put exhaust fans or radiador on the top. Thermals are better than expected, my 3080 v2 and my 12900k runs within specs temperatures, as well as the rest of the components. The graphics card antisag solution is not the best, is a tiny piece that can't do too much, it needs to be improved although my graphics card is not sagging. Noise levels are acceptable, the fans that comes with the case are connected to a controller with two modes, you can choose between them for better cooling or better noise. Dust filters are easily removable and ... MoreIt's a beautiful computer case, easy to build in, easy to cable manage. It's well made, sturdy and HEAVY.

If you're the kind of person that buys all Strix, why are you even reading the reviews? You're going to buy this case anyway.This is a fanboy case, plain and simple. There's probably cheaper options out there. But they're not a Strix Helios, so they don't matter.To nit-pick though: I would have preferred if the included fans were white, as this is the "White Edition", the black outlining on the glass panels would have been nicer white as well, but I can cop that out to manufacturing.The smoked panel is darker than I'd like, but that may be a blessing after tossing a pile of RGB stuff in the mix.I've seen complaints regarding the plastic sheet on the PSU cover, and yeah it doesn't make sense to even have it there, but that shouldn't sway your opinion on the whole ... MoreIf you're the kind of person that buys all Strix, why are you even reading the reviews?

It's two extra screws, so grow up. This is a case for showing off what you got, so the intent is that you'll be using the verticals primarily anyway.Overall, for ASUS's first run into the case market, it's good. But there is a few tweaks here and there that could be made.Is it expensive? Oh yeah. But it also feels like an expensive case. Probably because it weights so darn much. But last time I checked, everything Strix is more expensive. Is it a good case if you're just looking for a cheap case to throw your miscellaneous parts in? NoIs it a good case if you're looking for a premium case that feels as pricey as it is to show off your other premium pricey goods? I think it is, Yeah.
