Cooler Master, a leading manufacturer of desktop components and peripherals, today announced the release of the MasterBox Lite 5, a high performance ATX mid-tower case with DarkMirror front panel and external customization. The MasterBox Lite 5 case is a straightforward choice for a PC build that looks good and has ample space. The case is armed with full black coating and a PSU cover to make your configuration pop against the black background.
The customizable trim allows users to choose from three different colors to suit their taste accordingly. The four 120mm fans, front and rear watercooling support ensure that performance will not be compromise performance. Harboring up to 400mm of graphic card space, fitting your graphic card won't be an obstacle.

Choose Your Style, with the MasterBox Lite 5.
"We wanted to introduce a standard and space saving case that still grants paramount characteristics. The MasterBox Lite 5 is compact yet does not sacrifice performance and style," said case product manager, Wei Yang."
The MasterBox Lite 5 can easily go wherever you need your PC to be with its manageable size. Put it on your desk, squeeze it against your bookshelf, or hide it away under your colleague's work space.

I was given a date of the 19th (from memory) and a price of $49.99US ($68.00AU) which obviously they are charging the same in Euros.

It apparently also has a transparent front, which is kinda cool.
Definitely like the direction of this one and nice of them to include an all black version from then start. I see companies forget that all the time.
Nowadays such case need at least 2x USB 3.1 gen1 & 2x gen2 & and one of these gen2 should be Type-C
BTW, What electric limitations you're talking about ?
another day, another boring, same ole same same rectangular boxen clone drone....
I DO like the semi-transparent front panel idea, but also agree with Xajel about not having any front panel USB-C ports.... they are supposed to be the next gen of universal connector, but they will never be adopted quickly unless/until the case mfgr's start putting them on the front...
So come on folks, just suck up the whole $1.87 cost difference and put 'em in there already, you'll more than offset that with increased case sales in no time :)
From what I understand, they were including the different colored trims in the box, so you have the option of red, white, black and possibly blue.
So there shouldn't be a need to 3D print your own unless you want a different material or color.

You may see such ports in really small HTPC solutions where are really short cables to the front panel. You will attach your phone cable and the thingwill exceedUSB specifications.
Use the proper I/O ports in the back, simple as that, this thing really is bleeding edge, and suffers all problems as any high RF device.
The front also slopes the other direction and is not opaque.
