Really distgusting. I thought about mold
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mold
Bad mechanical design with good thermal insulation for optimum performance in idle mode. Lot's of fragile plastic for repeated use. From a quality brand ASUS
"Cobble" - to do or make something quickly and not very carefully: I just had to cobble this meal together from what I had in the fridge. Hurrying and doing things quickly.
Past stuff I openend and closed with those hooks and lock in mechanism were all injection molding plastics. I go for the picture and not some marketing nonsense text. Those hooks tend to break, when it is not on the first time you open the device, it will most likely happen when you open it the 4th or 5th time. This is not really a consumer friendly DIY case.
The underside has no cooling. NVME which are not 22x80mm do not fit in that case.
