Why pc enthusiasts don't have any taste? This is the top selling and best rated case on Newegg and it makes me vomit.

I've got this case, got it some time around 2011.
it's bretty good for the cost, being toolless, and has decent enough cable hiding behind the mobo.

has serious airflow, but with that comes extra dust inside so I have to dust it out more frequently than my oem cases.

>case window
kill yourself/10

seriously though, I never understood why case windows are so popular, unless you have a cool custom liquid cooling solution the insides of whitebox machines are just empty space and the components are ugly and boring

I bought that case back in the day, it's still around here somewhere but due to all the upgrades and shit ive done to it some of the screw holes are stripped.
Went to a R3 and then R4 after.

no need or desire to do such a thing.

A Lian Li lasts for a long time, full aluminium with replaceable IO kits for when you break your USB or want to upgrade existing USB 2.0 ports to USB 3.0. Older models can be upgraded to tool-less via upgrade packages and newer models have them standard. Most models come in basic, windowed, full blackened interior and full blackened interior+ window, along with regular brushed aluminium for all trim lvls.

No plastic and rusty metal cases that cost a fortune with no replaceable IOs.
