These fails alone would make it an auto no-buy for me, but others may not care....

Also, if this case is supposedly meant for use with back-connected mobos, then why the giant cabling grommets ? Seems like they are just tryin to save a few $$ by not making separate versions....

Sorry, but other than that back-connected support, I really don't see anything new here, so I will leave it for others to bask in more of the same-ole-same-same boring AF boxen glory :D

Cooler master seems just weird sometimes. They will have a case with a really good concept then also fall short somewhere else in the case design.

MasterBox 600 front and top mesh looks pretty nice to me. I prefer top mounted or side chamber PSU (for water cooling builds) and for air cooled cards with rear exhaust it sucks to have the additional metal between the slot covers making blockages.

The smaller cases that have sandwich style designs really shows that compartmentalization of the CPU and GPU heat really helps. It sucks normal case designs still haven't figured out how to compartmentalize the GPU and provide direct exit channels for the heat. For example below side exhaust GPU's. Full glass side panel prevents this kind of optimization of course.

This turd has been highly polished to a lustrous sheen.

Well, in all fairness, if I have to chose between a dull turd and a polished, sheeny one, I'd take the sheeny one every time, hehehe :)

Having said that, since I am NOT into, nor have any need for, turds of any variety, I'll just pass on this one !

I don't really see a problem here. What do you want? A cover with screws?

It's a problem because 1. thumbscrews are stupid cheap and 2. it's fucking 2024, when even budget cases have reusable slot covers.
