The editors didn't like
Expensive
Spartan front panel I/O
Potential monitor cable issue
Heavy
Not much room for cables behind the motherboard
Case design limits utility of the 7th slot...and there really should be 8!
Longer cables required both internally an externally
Smooth exterior makes the case difficult to move
Mismatched colors and textures slightly compromise case appearance
Huge and pricey
Flimsy plastic in two key places
Power
Reset buttons too easy to press
I would have loved to see thumbscrews for the expansion slots.
