The editors didn't like
Hard drive installation method forces removal of entire cage for maintenance
Front Panel Mounting
Lack of cable management
Location of the built in Fan controller as well as the number of fans it controls
Outdated front I/O
HDD cages are fiddly
High static pressure fans needed to push through restrictive top mesh
Nonflush screws for additional fans/radiators won't be usable with top panel
Side I/O might be an issue
Not the best cable management
Still bulky
Large cube for a mATX cube chassis
Only slot-loading ODD
No possibility to connect USB 3.0 to 2.0 out of the box
Embedded I/O in front would be better off attached to the case instead
