The case is excellent. I got mine last week, replacing my Ncase M1.

Upsides vs the M1:

• Compatible with taller CPU coolers.
• Compatible with 280mm AIOs.
• Better custom loop support.
• Supports vertical GPU mounting.
• My PCIe power cables no longer push up against the side panel (5700 XT Nitro+).
• Larger size made it easier to build in (installing the GPU, especially).
• Better cable management features (velcro ties on the PSU shroud, loads of cable tie points all over the case).
• Front IO comes as a single block (which can be rearranged) rather than as single cables.
• Possible to mount 120mm fans top and bottom in the case.
• Tool-less hard drive and fan installation.
• Thick 2.5" hard drives fit under the front panel.
• Bottom panel is held on with one screw, not 6 or 8 or whatever it is in the M1  ?
• Comes with an official TG option.
• No messing around importing the case from the other side of the world.

Downsides:

• Larger
• Heavier

Grumbles:

• Build quality is generally good, but the top panel is poor.
• Have to ditch the front top fan if using an SFX-L PSU. Again a top panel grumble really; this could be avoided if it had a selection of mounting holes rather than set positions.
