That main feature "Super neat and cool internal look"

The force is weak with this one

Looking at the case made me throw up a little....

Iconic and oblique front panel design - that means "like or related to an icon" and "not parallel or perpendicular; slanted". Some genius case designer figured that, since we don't need to support optical drives anymore, let's just lop off that part of the case and angle the front panel, we'll call it iconic and oblique! It's the pinnacle of diagonality, with non-standard angularity elements! Give that person a gold star on their forehead for inventing this "unique", angled monstrosity.

Damn straight "one of a kind" piece of junk.

Literally every X2 case is a rebrand of some some case from China.
