So, I finally got time to build in mine. My thoughts mirrored what others have said, very easy to build and clean minimalist look that sits proudly next to my monitor.

Thoughts:
Some people had trouble with thick monitor cables, I had no issues. What I did was loosen the screws on the PCIE riser cable, install the card, then tighten them back. I sure wasn't going to run into the same problem if I get fore warning!
The front panel button is a bit small for my fingers, not a biggie. I personally would have preferred just USB, no button nor audio and just use a vandal switch at the back. Really wish the USB3 spec can give us thinner cables though as routing was annoying.
I have a R7 1700 (stock)+ Noctua L9x65 with a 1070, Thermals are better than I expected, 60C running the stressapptest. Winter here, so ambient is high teens/low 20s.
I'm impressed. The last SFF build was a Silverstone SG13, that was terrible in terms of material quality. This case is a different league.
