Red face Is NZXT Guardian 921 a good cabinet?


Is it a good cabinet?I absolutely love the looks,and I want a transparent side panel,which made me choose it over NZXT gamma.But the guardian seems to have a flimsier build quality.Please post your opinions/suggestions about this cabinet.
I also like the CM 430 Elite Black,but sadly it lacks cable management.If there are any cabinets with transparent side windows in the same price range,please suggest them
Thanks

It is a good cabinet, roomy, loads of fans. I heard someguy got a 3k quote for it, great buy at that price.

Yeah,I read some reviews.The temperatures are good.But the front has to be opened to access the optical drive,and that front door looks flimsy from the inside.I believe the CM 430 has steel meshes on front

what price is it... 3k is too low for a cabinet like that.. and read some reviews complaining about poor air flows.. please double check before purchasing.

Price is 3.7k at primeabgb.com
And the reviews said nothing bad about airflows,owing mainly to the three included 120mm fans.Where did you see it?

I remember this. I was in love with this case for its sheer beauty.

But it is a bit smaller and hence will not support high end cards, my only reason to drop it.

There I have given you my pro and con about it. I have researched on it for a week.
