I would worry about GPU and cpu cooler fitment, especially with those thick fans on the side.
Those fans are removable, as is the fan door. I've got a different version of this case that's worked for over a decade, and I've periodically added/removed both to my rig based on what would fit.
That’s pretty good forward thinking on their part. I’ve worked on too many dells and Lenovos where stuff like that is replaceable but if you don’t have it attached it won’t turn on. Or it’s designed to limit what it put in it physically for some unknown reason.
Yeah, it's great. The doors are only attached with locking spring hinges, so it's super easy to go on and off. The worst part of the process is running the fan power (thank the gods for daisy chained molex) in a way that doesn't get in the way, but I generally run the wire behind the hinge and it doesn't get in the way or take damage from opening the case.
