I purchased the x50 Air Flow in black and love it. I purchased a new mobo, CPU, and AIO so I didn't have to gut my previous system. Same CPU, the Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI vs the Asus Tuf version I have in the old build. once the entire system was finished including swapping in my current OS drive I notice a general increase in performance. I'm sure that's due to lower temps thanks to the x50, cause not enough difference between the Strix and Tuf mobos to see a performance gain. My one issue is the fact that I like most people have their tower to our right rather it's sitting close to the floor or next to our monitors on the desktop. With this placement it makes it almost impossible to remove and replace the fan filter on the bottom. The finger hold for popping it off should be on the opposite side or made a slide out like on the Geometric Future M5. Because of the location of my x50 tower when I want to pull the fan filter I have to have my roommate help me move the tower so I can remove the fan filter.
