darkflash Mesh PC Case (Open Box)

I wanted a very minimalist case for my engineering work station. I'm not a gamer, and I need for my setup to look professional when clients come to visit. I don't want flashy RGB lights and plexiglass, etc. This case fits the bill very well in that department. A large, black, basically 100% metal mesh case, with 2X very small power HDD activity indicator LEDs on the top. The front has no disk drive access, so it is very clean. There's a power button, reset button , headphone/microphone jacks, 2X USB 3.0 and 2X USB 2.0 ports on the top right next to the status LEDs, in a discreet, very convenient location when the tower is at ground level. Much better than front access ports where I have to lean over to determine what they are. The only real place I can dock it, is there is no panel USB C access, probably because it was designed before USB C was ubiquitous. Once the machine is built, this case gets a 90+/100. Building the machine in this case however, is where the docking of points racks up. This is a pretty cheaply manufactured case and it shows wherever margins could be cut. -The case metal feels relatively flimsy, and the removable panels flex far more than I would imagine them to. -The paint seems very fragile and will likely scratch if it is moved around a lot. Not as much of a problem for me, but may be for others. -The thumbscrews that came with it are plastic and feel cheap. I ended up swapping over my all metal more quality thumbscrews from my old coolermaster case. -The mounting locations for HDDs and SSDs is confusing and poorly laid out to say the least. There's some sort of removable tray that I still have laying around after months, I'm not sure what it's supposed to do. -The PSU mounts at the bottom, which is fine, except the only place for larger HDDs appears to be shoved away in the same cubby with the PSU in the bottom, which makes them hard to access, very crammed if you don't have a modular PSU and need to hide unused wires, and the HDDs don't have tool-less slides for easy access. -The rear PCI access panels aren't replaceable, they are break-away panels that once broken, will remain out. I had a few screw in panels left over from my old coolermaster case that I just broke them all out, and replaced with replaceable panels. Again, only a problem if you change hardware frequently, but beware. -The instructions for the case are (from what I remember) written in Chinese/poorly translated English, and unclear pictures. Be prepared to rack your brain around how something is supposed to be assembled. Ultimately, once the machine is built the case is exactly what I wanted... a very professional looking case housing a workstation with ultimate cooling capabilities (the entire thing has mesh/vent holes in it). If you can suffer through moving your hardware into the case without thinking too much about the poor material quality, and/or salvage some higher quality materials from a higher quality manufacturer, you will end up with a very nice case. I imagine if you are into lights, it would also be a very nice case, because again, the entire thing is a giant mesh structure and would certainly glow through everywhere.
