The Best Airflow Case

None

None

This is by far the best airflow case I have ever used. I've been on the Corsair 5000d since its launch and before that were both the Meshify series cases, but none of those can touch the airflow design of the Torrent. I will definitely build in this case again.

Poor cable management

I love this case. It's a looker and has great airflow and was overall quite easy to build in. I also love the top mounted PSU, its AMAZING to have access to the back of the PSU so easily.
Very tight cable management for such a large case. A few more millimeters would go a LONG way.
For a case in this price range, it's really disappointing that the LED strip on the PSU shroud was not functioning properly in my unit. It was flickering and the cable for it was very loose. Could not resolve the issue - not for lack of trying.
Its also disappointing that the screws came in plastic bags. Fractal could really take some pointers from Phanteks on how to package their products, especially when they are hitting the $200+ price point for a case.
Positioning of the fan hub is not ideal as most fan power cables will not reach it from the 120/140 exhaust mount at the back of the case. Also very difficult to fit the 180mm fans at the base of the case when using a full size ATX motherboard.

3 eggs. Big room for improvement on a great concept.
