Do you guys only care about looks or what?

Nope but this case shouldn't make the "news" as there is absolutely nothing interesting about it imo

Are there cases to get excited for these days ? for example i was looking for a case with a handle so i can move it easy like a bag from place to place, i only found second hand ones like CM Scout. But there are a lot of glass panel RGB cases out there.

It's sad to see a company this out of touch with standards proven for the past two years. That mesh on the front is going to let too much air into the case. Maybe you could mod it with a piece of acrylic cut-to-fit to cover it up. Or even better, a local glass shop could be hired.

The biggest trend in the past 2 years has been sealing off the front panel with a flat surface, such as tempered glass. This is because internal hardware was getting too much airflow, and has thankfully been fixed with this new industry standard. Making a case with a mesh front, such as this one, is just going backwards in time and is the opposite of progress.

There's no such thing as too much airflow... unbalanced airflow sure... superfluous airflow sure... but not too much. Having mesh in the front may be a step backwards in *style*, but not in technical efficiency.

Not arguing...I totally get your point.
I think he's talking about a directed airflow which really does a great job and if done right actually works better than open air.
eh just wording...

That's fair. I'd still consider that an air balance issue. Regardless, to address my original point, slapping a plexi panel in instead of mesh in order to cut down on airflow would not in any way improve temps lol.


Now THAT would make sense.

What is this...

'My First Led fan' build? This is like going back 15 years. Back then, this would look innovative. Now? Pointless.

They even stole the top vents (and the glass tint cutout for your SSDs!) from the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv... and on that case, this is proven to be a bad solution for any rad or top fan setup there.
