I love this case layout, unfortunately I have passed on it for my last 5 build or so because I dont like/want the tempered glass. I dont care about looking at the inside of the PC, RGB or anything else; I want silent and unseen. Wish they would make a version of this case with aluminum panels instead of glass.

Oh, my poor back... what a cumbersome looking case. The original Evo is big enough.
An Evo version of the Mini could be more popular than a XL, but I could see the upright gpu options being much more limited.

+1. I wish someone, anyone would hear us. Please, please give us case/components for silent and invisible builds.

Edit: this could make a great tom's article btw .... 'the best rgb-free noise-free build'.

Amen!! Enough with the silly vomming unicorns inside those boxes!! Give us silence instead.

And yet, many "expert" reviews view lack of colored puke as a negative!

I want to see all the rgb's with excellent airflow and a reasonable price. I leave the side panel off my shoty ibuypower case because it gets too hot and the fans scream.

And they should. It reduces an option to a consumer and reviews are for a mass audience, which will value either using RGB or having it as an option. You can keep RGB off if you don't like it.

If you want a pickup truck, buy a pickup truck. I don't see the point of complaining that a writer reviewing a sports car didn't call the sports car out for not being able to transport industrial equipment or pull a trailer.

Nonsense. This is a purely cosmetic issue and has no technical bearing on the functionality of the subject at hand.

It's like criticizing Toyota and giving it a minus for not producing cars in gaudy colors!!

People very frequently buy things based on purely cosmetic issues or at least have cosmetic issues as a factor. A reviewer should care about the reasons people buy things.

You can't simply switch off the color of a shiny pink car. You can on an RGB fan. The analogy is inapt.

My current rig is in a Corsair 110Q (q for quiet) case because it has no window or circus lighting, plus it has added sound deadening, love how quiet she runs even with three 140mm fans.
