  1. I've been in my level 20 xt for a week now and love it. This is my first cube style case as I'm coming from my old CM HAF 932 that has been with me for the past 13 years. While it was great back in the day it was not designed for our large modern gpu's and I had to cut the drive cage to fit my current card. With this setup there's plenty of room for even larger cards to fit plus having the horizontal mb tray keeps the stress off the pcb. Its so large that I had trouble with cable management so I covered what I could with a flexible mesh wire loom to match the PS cable sleeving. I pulled out out both bottom mounted drive cages to use the space for fans as my only HD is mounted in the MB tray cage and both of my remaining sata ssd's are mounted underneath the tray as well. Since I'm using a MSI MEG Z790 ACE motherboard I have 5 nvme slots so I have plenty of storage potential left. I moved my BDRW to an external enclosure that sits beside the case on the table. I was initially concerned about having so much glass as I'm accustomed to having side mounted fans in my cases. Let me just say that my temps are the lowest they've ever been and I have plenty of room for future expansion. I have 19 Antec Prizm X fans (3 on the AIO) mounted in it keeping the positive air flow through it. The front and lower half fans are intake and the rest are exhaust. I keep temp probes at the radiator and rear exhaust fan so I can monitor the air temps. I'm still running my last gen XFX RX 6900 XT black but am considering getting a RTX 4090 to go along with my Z790 and 13900K setup. My EVGA CL360 AIO is dealing with the heat just fine especially after replacing the stock fans with the prizm x's along with using Arctic MX-6 paste.
