Niceeee e, thank you.

Bloody good and big case. Solid thick metal.

Going in my i7 3rd gen build.

Was looking for a full tower with a dvd drive bay and bought this sh for 20 quid. A bargain.

Yes, Carbide 400R is a good choice. I had it around 2013 with i7-4770 build, but later upgraded to Fractal Design Define R4, which was also pretty good case from that era.

Is that a full tower as well?

Initially for this build i got a brand new Fractal Focus G , but returned it to amazon after i noticed the despicable dimensions. Such a horrible design , so small that the optical drive would hit the motherboard. Practically , 0 space between the motherboard and optical drive.

I think starting 2015ns , there is 0 reason to buy midi cases. it s either full tower or fishtank. The midi ones are so small , basically wont work with anytning except a micro atx build.
