This build was for a client that wanted something that didn't look like every other PC out there. Main use is for gaming, budget was flexible. The 303C came to mind due to its unique layout and high build quality. This was built just as the 12th gen was launching, and in the middle of the GPU shortages.

I make my own custom cables, which was helpful with some of the odd cable routing required in this case. I also added the RGB accent panel on the right side to fill in the blank space, and added a strip of RGB lights along the rear panel vents. Finally, the GPU I could get didn't have a backplate, so I made one from aluminum - I placed thermal pads under it along the VRMs hoping it would help carry heat away.

What was good: build quality is great, very solid case. There's plenty of room in the rear for cable management, although you have to avoid putting too much in the top compartment as it can block the exhaust from the radiator. I used Corsair Lighting Node Pros to keep most of the RGB control under iCUE. The MasterFan Halos are beautiful fans, quiet, and the RGB cables daisy-chain together nicely.

What could be better: the spacing along the top and bottom of the motherboard is really tight. This made managing to bottom fan/front panel wires challenging. While the CPU cable can't go directly up due to the PSU being above it, the board sits so close to the top it was difficult routing the cable along the top and and it not being obtrusive. Other than the cabling challenges I had no complaints about working in the 303C.
