No RGB. That should be a Pro, not a con.

About the "cons": Only the very limited storage drive support is a con by me. The rest?

• No fans: No money spent on fans you don't want. (Plenty of room for the user's desired cooling solution.)
• No fan hub: If you really need a hub you can get one separately.
• No RGB lighting: So no need to turn it off...
• Poor acoustic performance... if you use inherently noisy parts. The great cooling allows you to run fans at a very slow speed, making virtually no noise!
• High price: A matter of definition. Not many of these would be sold even at half the price, and development cost must be covered by fewer specimen compared to more regular cases.
