How does it look? I like the design and its 78USD tax included in my country, how does the airflow look? Gamers nexus hasn't covered it with its objective evaluation yet

Hey there. Here are my thoughts:

• For $70 - $80, I'm a little bit disappointed it comes with only 1 x USB 3.0 (and 2 x USB 2.0). Other cases like the Phanteks P300 ($59.99, on sale), EVGA DG-75 ($59.99, on sale), and CORSAIR 275R ($79.99), offer 2 x USB 3.0. (Personal Bias: I prefer quality over quantity.)
• The mesh front panel looks like it'll help with thermals, but do note that the case only has 2 x 120mm fans included. Also, according to the specs, the front will only fit 2 x 120mm fans or 2 x 140mm fans, as opposed to the 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fan options offered by almost all other mid-tower ATX cases.
• Generally speaking, mesh cases can be louder than non-mesh variants, and I doubt the case is outfitted with noise-dampening material, especially at its price point. Something to keep in mind, perhaps? Or just have a pair of good headphones ready.
• Plenty of storage space with 3 x 3.5" drive bays and 4 x 2.5" drive bays.
• Rubber grommets and holes seem to offer fairly hassle-free cable management, which is nice.

Thank you very much. I would be lying if I told you that I didn't chose it for that cyberdemon logo. 

And sincerely I don't use USB 3.0 at all as my system is fairly entry level and I don't think I will be upgrading it soon. 

I just wanted something to help with thermals. Thanks again
