Impressive Lighting
The Light Wings PWM fans offer ARGB lighting on the front and back. The subtly lit ring on the back combined with the bright one on the front creates a stunning appearance from every angle. The additional ARGB LED lights on the front of the case provide multiple colors and functions to customize the look. You can optionally synchronize the lighting with your motherboard or with an ARGB controller.
Perfect Airflow
With optimization for maximum airflow, the Light Wings 140mm PWM fan is the right choice for any case configuration that requires high cooling performance. The fan's 7 airflow-optimized blades not only reduce noise-causing turbulence but also ensure that the fan delivers the required performance, even in demanding configurations. The fans connect to a combined PWM and ARGB hub for up to 8 ARGB devices.

Modern I/O Port
A USB 3.2 Gen. 2 Type-C port is provided on the front I/O panel, allowing the use of the latest hardware. The 2 USB 3.2 ports and an ARGB control button complete the I/O panel and make it a multi-purpose interface for all types of hardware.

In summary, a very high-quality and spacious case from Be quiet that will cover every need for a build with a slightly high price. Now in detail: 1) The size of the case is very large, allowing you to comfortably install GPUs with a large length (first the 4090 ROG Strix was installed inside a friend's for testing, and then my own 4070 Ti Super from MSI). The case will also satisfy in width, where cables will not need to be squeezed and it will comfortably fit large, tall air coolers. 2) The cable management is simply excellent, with the 4 pre-installed fans all ready connected to a controller and tied with strips. Plenty of space for SSDs and HDDs (although Be quiet skimped on the plastic brackets and you have to buy them separately). 3) It can accommodate everything from small to E-ATX motherboards, with plenty of space for cable management and plastic channels to hide the cables. 4) In terms of aesthetics, I find it very beautiful, but this is purely subjective. 5) The cooling is more than excellent, and if combined with a good liquid cooling system, you will not face any problems even with hot CPUs like the 14th generation Intel processors. 6) In terms of sound insulation, if the fans do not go above 60 out of 100, you will not hear anything. Now for the negatives: the price is definitely a downside, as it is close to 200 + shipping, making it not a very affordable choice for a budget build, the excessively large weight, the unfortunate lack of a reset button following the trend, and the relatively limited number of USB ports. I hope I helped, happy shopping.
Very beautiful box worth its money mainly for the space but also for the ports it has!
Also, for anyone interested, it has 3 front ports, 3 top ports, 1 back port, and 1 bottom port (Fans)
