Whenever I see these clear glass cases. I can only think how bad they'll look after a month of dust. Sure many have filters but the glass front and fans will still look pretty bad.

it's a shame 40% of the footprint is wasted.

on a side note; anyone have a few bucks, a CAD specialist, & a sheet-metal mfg plant to loan me? for those who appreciate efficiency & function, i got our design answer.

The desk I just bought only gives slightly less than 18.5" in vertical height for a computer. which is apparently just *barely* (like, less than a quarter of an inch*) too short for any of the decent mid-tower cases. Thanks Ikea, great design for a gaming desk, guys.
By some miracle my current case fits, but the USB ports are on the top so I have to pull the computer out to use them. But replacing it with something similar that has ports on the front is apparently a big problem with what's available in the market right now.
So I need something a little shorter and wider like this Corsair Cubet... Except it needs to fit a DVD drive and SD reader... and an ATX mobo.... and at least 3 standard hard drives.

Apparently, case manufacturers are -seriously- dropping the ball right now in terms of making cases that are actually a functional container for a full computer, or at least in the mid-tower class (and hey, some of us people who use entire computers like shiny glass too, you know). I'm not even asking for anything impossible, like USB-C.
