In general

  • More cases like the Meshify C
  • CoolerMaster continually improving the H500M
  • More 200mm fans in general
  • MATX cases that are actually meaningfully lower in volume/weight than ATX cases

Small form factor market

  • A sequel to the Node 202 that makes some refinements
  • A successor or spiritual successor to the EVGA Hadron 
  • A case like the DAN SFX or Loque Ghost S1 manufactured by a major company at an affordable price point.
  • A case with vertical airflow like the Mac Pro
  • An ITX version of the Meshify C

Premium market

  • Better ventilation on vanity cases.
  • Detachable covers on the top of the case (i.e. like the Define series does)
  • PWM fans 
  • More thumbscrews

Less of a focus on "look at those pretty RGB fans stuck behind a plastic faceplate" and more "holy shit, we took 200mm intake fans and sealed them in behind a plastic faceplate".

 

Case airflow matters.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Your profile pic is ironic.

I think looks and airflow are doable, what if the glass panels on a case like the Corsair 570x were all suspended to allow 0.25 inch wide crevices for air?  Or what if the front and side remained tempered glass, but the top and bottom had a lot of ventiation.  Premium end cases could allow the front glass panel to be detached and come with an attachable mesh part.

That whole build was done as a joke. I just came to love Hypnotoad after the build was complete.

A quarter inch isn't much room at all. In the age of life after optical drives, there are better airflow solutions than putting a glass panel over everything and leaving a one-inch cut at the bottom.

Is it good or bad that I've seen so many of HardwareCanucks' case reviews that I read this post in Dmitri's voice?
