Building in the Archon 2 RGB is a streamlined experience thanks to its thoughtful internal proportions. The 170mm CPU cooler clearance is particularly generous for a mid-tower, allowing for massive air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15. Airflow is optimized through the front intake, where the three ARGB fans pull air past the tempered glass panel. The inclusion of a dedicated RGB button allows for instant lighting changes without needing to open software, though full motherboard synchronization is available for those who want a unified ecosystem.
Compared to standard budget cases, the Archon 2 RGB stands out by including three ARGB fans and a 3mm tempered glass side panel as standard. While many compact ATX cases struggle with radiator clearance, the Archon 2 accommodates a full 360mm radiator in the front, outperforming the Archon Mesh in pure visual clarity while maintaining similar thermal potential. It offers a more modern I/O layout than previous generation Archon models, specifically catering to users with multiple USB 3.0 peripherals.
