I'd grab it before it's no longer available... new. ^^
@Ghot Another thing about this seemingly awesome deal is that it really only has 3 front bays. I know that the term 'work station' is pretty loose but for me, a work station is a box loaded with tools. For a content creator a 3 Bay work station would likely be just fine as most of their tools are software anyway. For someone like me, who does refurbishing, data recovery, system repairs, and PC building having half a dozen hot swappable Bays isn't exactly unreasonable. Plus, given my obsession with data backup and RAID having those extra drive bays can come in real handy. I suppose if I just stuck to a single RAID 1 or RAID 0 array it wouldn't be that big a deal but where's the fun in that? I like RAID 10. In fact, I like RAID 10 X 2. I have reasons for this obsession and one of them is that I don't want to capitulate to dependence on One Drive. I appreciate the encouragement and moral support, mate. I really do. I've been circling that case like a shark at a careful distance because $300 was my maximum limit. (This would include the taxes, the shipping, and enviro-Mental charges etc.) Seems such a pity that not long ago I could get a ThermalTake Level 10 GT for $227 CA and today I can't even get half the quality and utility for the same price anymore. What a shame. That Enthos Pro sure do look purdee tho. Yup. Baffle my brain with RGB and watch the wheels go round and round. Sorta lends a whole new meaning to the term 'Fan Boi' But hey, that's just me. I have a daughter who is crazy about RGB.
DO NOT GET THIS CASE!!
I have this case but with a solid side instead of the window. I really don't like it. Poor build quality, which is apparently how they managed to sell this case at such a low price point. When you close the side panels, it's a real hassle to line up the holes in the side panels with the screw threads in the body of the case. Other components dont' slide together smoothly. The case buzzes a lot. Harmonic vibration I assume.
And did I say that installing an AIO cooler int the top of the case was a nightmare, with fitting in the radiator and then re-assemblng the case parts. Poor fit. And the AIO radiator blocks the top external bay.
I kept my last case, a Corsair 800D for close to 10 years. This one, I will get rid of it as soon as I find the time to get something decent. And I won't be surprised if I just end up recycling this case for scrap.
Thank you for the fair warning. I rarely do liquid cooling and when people ask me to build them a PC with liquid cooling, even AIO, I will try to talk them out of it first. AIO isn't too hard to do but even AIO can degrade. Customer is not always right and I reserve the right to refuse service because my name is on my work. You know, Corsair was a leader in quality cases 10 years ago. I doubt you'll find that sort of quality in Corsair these days. They were a bit pricey but they were known for high quality cases. Have you seen the junk they pump out on the market today? So Cooler Master are not the only alley cats cranking out this crap. If I were you, I'd hang onto that 800D because pride of craftsmanship and quality in PC cases has taken a huge nose dive. Today, it's all about the glass and the RGB. Still, if you're going to use liquid cooling I highly recommend using a quality case. (You wouldn't want anything to go rusty.

I recently built a new machine and used this one. Pretty low end run-of-the-mill case. Nothing fancy.

That's not a bad little case depending on what you're using it for. Even ThermalTake's low end cases aren't half bad. Admittedly, I am biased when it comes to ThermalTake because they stand behind their product and I know that from first hand experience. I would say that if you paid 50 bux for that case you got a good deal. I also have an entry level case by ThermalTake in roughly the same tier and it is for very specific applications that I am not about to go into here. I almost bought the V100 for this purpose but again, I still like my bays and the Versa had one extra bay.

Sad to see the price on this case went up also. I think this model has been around for nearly a decade now and ThermalTake still keeps on making it. You used to be able to buy it for a song. Thank you for sharing, Duane.
