So this case was exactly the look I was looking for and it got me not disappointed. My only issue is concerns about the front ventilation. Then about a month ago I saw a video showing how MFGR modified this case to add a full METAL MESH front which should allow for much better airflow. Hearing this after having already made the purchase I was a bit disappointed as I could have waited for the new version to be released around June 2020. and found some issues like the sata connectors which use 90% of the attachments and the way they align and bulge and overlap and also almost exceed the right hand metal door at the bottom when closing. Along with this backplate position, Lian LI installed a plate in almost the same place for stability when the mod is not in use, but should be removed when the hot-swap mod is installed and it is not mentioned. in the manual are very simple instructions that he came with. I'm a beginner and this is my first build so I might be missing some things that everyone knows but for example the front cover has plug connectors that need to be attached and the case didn't come with them which is a bit confusing since they are not mentioned in the case manual. Now I bought this case at a higher than usual price as I wanted it until I heard the new one was coming out soon but the advertised price was around $90. and i bought this case for $114. I think this case is very well made and the price I paid although higher than originally advertised is a great case.
