And this is 2020, why the hell does it have two USB2.0 ports at the front instead of USB 3.0?
:laugh:
Plus, most people only use FP ports for wireless KB/mouse and a single flash drive. They just went with what qualifies as a bare minimum for a modern case.
If you filter the current mATX market for "small", "looks professional/adult", and "under $100" you are (depending on your region) either going to come up dry, or possibly stumble on some really nasty sub-$30 stuff that you should just walk away from.
