I had about as much pleasure building around this case compared to those that sells for $149, plenty enough for a case that cost half of other similar cases. Fractal Design did everything you can think so to many, the Arc Midi R2 one of the best cases on ...

Notched side panels, Could use some more precise tapping of screw holes, Might get a little loud if using highpowered (hotter) components
