The mesh front is great but how many people really care about RGBLED-lit aesthetics? I'm assuming most people with a full tower case put them on the floor, under their desk and out of sight. I'm right-handed so I put my desk-drawers on the right and my PC case on the left - meaning that any display windows are butted up against the wall anyway.
If you don't like RGB you can just... turn it off. Or simply purchase the model that does not come with RGB fans. Lastly, this is a mid-tower not a full tower and a lot of us put our cases on our desk next to us instead of under it.
Seriously. It's like you people live life complaining about everything when you have so many alternatives(and for some reason can't handle that others might like what you don't). Nobody is forcing you to like this case nor is anybody forcing you to buy it. Just buy another freaking case that does not have what you just complained about. It's that easy
new mesh ok, but everything else same ole same same lame lame....AND no USB-C on the front I/O....
f.A.i.L....... I've bought 12 cases in the past 3 years for myself & clients, all with tempered glass, and not a single one of them got damaged during shipping, simply because they were properly packaged, padded, and protected by the mfgr from the start.....
And I agree, if you don't like it, buy a case without it, it's not like there is any shortage of non-TG cases available from practically every single case mfgr out there.......
This would quickly cannibalize sales of the new models, which no company in their right mind would ever do, at least not until after they have sold several thousands of the new ones anyways :)
And I agree, It's really disappointing to not see a USC-C connectorr in any case released after 2017
Tempered glass adds to shipping costs which raises the price. More importantly, I'm buying for a company, not just personally, and tempered glass is simply not permitted. You don't see tempered glass in workstations from HP, Dell, or Lenovo.
FYI, I personally would want the USB-C port but I understand the reasoning why it's not available at this price point.
