EXPReview additionally noticed the black and white (possibility) circumstances with fish tank wraparound clear model and again plug motherboard assist on the market in China, at JD.com. Trying on the abroad costs, US clients ought to count on to pay about $100 for these new PC circumstances.
Instances utilizing the fish tank model are additionally generally known as ‘270-degree glass window’ model circumstances, and seem like a trending design.

These motherboards facilitate simple clear builds, with all of the messy cabling simple to cover behind the motherboard tray.
The specs say that the case presents assist for “M-ATX (Again-connect supported) / ITX.” Folks excited about full-size ATX builds with backplug or not should look elsewhere.
