A front panel I can get used to liking. What hurts the case is the usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports, instead of usb-c and 3.1 (or 3.2).

This ridiculous "2021 budget case = one single USB 3.0 port!" trend needs to die. As a reminder for those suffering from memory loss, 2013 TechpowerUp were reviewing 2013-era £30-£40 budget cases that came with 4x USB ports like this. Way past time modern case designers were called out for regressing on USB connectivity vs what we had 8 years ago...

Not that "eye-catching" IMO, but at least the fans can suck air pretty fine there.

I guess minimalism could be a reason. My 2nd rig's Corsair 4000D has only one 3.0 port as well (and one C, but at least for me that's totally useless).

Thanks, not sure why i changed it, was having head problems is the best i can say.

I'm fed up with same old boxes though. I only do Matx now anyway, but might consider a new board once i have cash for a 5600x. Next New build will be back to Intel though I think.

That front panel is going to hurt airflow a little. If you look carefully, they've added another filter inside.

Personally I like that 4000D so much that I'll probably get one for my main rig as well. No problem though even I'll be putting a mATX system there

But that looks like the system can get pretty much fresh air, when compared to some cases with a solid front mask and just some little vents on the side.

Positive pressure, no filters for mine, i will clean it regularly

Its like my case somewhat, Im not liking the shallowness of it though.

I dont get the hangups everyone has on usb-c. Yes it's great for phones, but what are people using them on PC for?

mostly for device connections if/when wifi is unavailable and no other ways to connect. yep great for phones....

My case is old has usb 3 A ports for connections

I dont get the hangups everyone has on usb-c. Yes it's great for phones, but what are people using them on PC for?

Because:

A) It's much faster & easier to use, since you don't always have to check to see which way you are holding the cable end before inserting it.....
B) It's faster for data transfers
C) It takes up less room on the front panels as well as the mobo, leaving more space for other things...
D) The more we push case makers to include them, the faster they will, which will also lead to moar peripherals changing over to them, which will speed up the end of life for A & B connectors, as well as the other horribly sucky variants like mini & micro USB...

I'm sure others can think of moar reasons, but these are my top 4 fwiw
