Every single case design post so far has been this way for last year or two.

Essentially, they ran out of ideas for cases. So instead they rehash and add more RGB and maybe change some filters and thats it.

I feel that the ITX market is still rather untouched. There are some ridiculous ITX cases (large towers that look like a Milk Carton) or ridiculously expensive but good designs like the DAN cases. I would love more ITX cases that fit console like market as with the Fractal Design Node or the Silverstone Raven.

Yet another air choked "gaming" case.

...srsly, what are these people thinking when "designing" those horrible things?

I know they think we're all gamers that don't use hard drives anymore, but this would be the #1 reason I wouldn't buy this case and a lot of the modern ones. I know I'm not alone.

It seems to me that Antec has exited the US market. They have not updated social media content in months and they have not responded to my direct emails or messages. I wonder if it is related to the tariffs?
