No TG or RGB? What were they thinking? Actually, it's a rare thing these days to see a new case without them. This case could have been designed 5 years ago when USB 3.0 was fresh, optical drives were still common and RGB was almost unheard of.. Basic case for low powered PCs, limited air flow. Styling like an old record player from the 1950's. Retro and different enough to sell, maybe.

Would be pretty cool if it was literally like that.. like Art Deco and Wood with Gold Trim.

5 years? More like 10... I have an old jonsbo mitx case and also used a thermaltake matx one like this one... Not enough retro features, so much wasted space...

Design feels like they missed their target

Either the specs are wrong, or the pictures are wrong, as I can see 3x 3.5" and 3x 2.5" drive bays.
