2022 and still no front USB-C connectors. Great.

They need to be wired manually and add about $15 to the price of the case.

This looks surprisingly similar to my Antec P101.

People will pay that $15. Not everyone, but people.

Btw, look at them huge feet!

Back in the early 2000's Chieftec was a quality brand that people often wanted to use in their builds mainly thanks to the quality steel panels and functions. Modern Chieftec is a shadow of itself.

Sadly, this is true of Antec and even Silverstone to an extent.

...it's as if Antec the brand uses Chieftec as the oem for their case...

They are still a major player in the PC case business but it's mostly in the back end. They will let the brands handle the marketing, sales, shipments. PC cases are large and container costs have gone through the roof as have customer delivery costs.

Most of these ATX cases are 90% the same design with the last 10% being different. BORING!! The 011 Dynamic cases, the Thermaltake Core G3, (I have both) and some other ATX cases .... are different. We need more variety in the ATX space.

The ITX realm as a lot of variety with creative designs and I just can't see myself buying an ATX motherboard again. I really don't see the point when the only add in card used is the GPU.

I've still got one of those cases in closet. Apparently someone gutted the bay rails inside the case and stuck a AIO into it. They are quite big inside though those bays took up tons of space totally different era.

Much like most case brands these days, it's a pity how the PC industry has changed in some ways. In one hand we have blazing fast GPU's and CPU's playing games in 4k, rendering massive images in mere seconds, etc. On the other hand we have brands going from top now to bottom creating cheap/budget cases, insane motherboard prices, etc. I'm glad OEM's/Cloud gaming didn't atleast take over...
