Got my DG-87 last week and started building it over the end of the week, but TBH, I'm very disappointed with it, and will probably be moving it on when the 'build bug' hits me again.
Just too many issues and niggles with it, plus the sub-par build quality in comparison to some of the other options out there makes it a big disappointment for me personally, as it was supposed to be the finishing touch of my current build.
Way too much plastic.....which leads to dodgy seams, especially that top cover fixings, front panel cabling is lacking length if you have to go beyond the default fan configuration or to route the cables better. But the biggest issue for me was the rad space available up top in conjunction with a Rampage VE10 is nowhere near enough when using an EK Predator 360 - which leads to you having to frontmount the unit, which completely changes the airflow situation in the case. Currently trying intake from the top. which I'd normally avoid due to heat mechanics and the lack of a dust filter. Not exactly the quietest build either, even with the fans under control so may look into some replacements.
That's not going to be an issue for different MB/Cooling configs with this case, but it's a glaring problem that I probably won't be able to look past.
 
Real shame TBH, as I kind of like the look compared to some of the boring chassis out there nowadays.

A small question; How the f*ck do you get the top off?
That thing feels like its on there good and solid, and im afraid of pulling it.

Just pull it. On tight but will pop loose eventually.

Whoof, it felt and sounded like pulling a tree out of the ground, but its off now.
Bit of an iffy design there, EVGA, why not those nice quickfits like the "front" filter?

Anyone here experiencing something janky going on with their PCIe slots?
Ive got a problem where my GPU wont sit flush with the bracket bar;
 

 
Whats that about? Ive reseated my motherboard twice to see if I could align it properly, but it simply wont reach. Is something out of shape, or is it my motherboard and videocard not playing nice?

I figured it out, my 350 dollar fancy motherboard cant hold any decent sized videocards..
Nicely done, Asus..

I might have, if you guys didn't slobber some random red line all over it. :P
Aesthetically the EVGA boards are not very appealing.

you know that red line on the x99 FTW is led's that can be turned off? and honestly evga's ftw is one of the most neutral colored mobos out there, basically solid black.

I see, I wasnt aware of the LED light, it looked like a hidious red paint striping on most pictures.
Still though, it lacks a few key features; WiFi, Bluetooth, Internal USB2.0, pump header, U.2 connector.
