Simple yet sophisticated design, Good build quality, Tons of features, Excellent noise dampening, Cable management can be done quite well, Push button to open side panels
Traps a lot of heat and gets hot from the inside, Expensive
We know this case is meant for silent system builders but when it comes to performance, there's absolutely no reason one can give as to why they should run their system hot when they can get some other cases in the market that does the job of being silent...

Abstract: Yesterday, we embarked on a quest to find the ultimate quiet gaming case. Today, we're testing three more enclosures: Corsair's Obsidian 550D, Fractal Design's Define R4, and Gigabyte's Luxo M10. How will they compare in cooling, noise, and overall value?...
Easy installation, Sleek and silent design, 3 included fans, USB 3.0 support
