Why computer case reviewers often wear gloves?

[modeonoff]

Hello, I have watched some reviews of computer cases on YouTube. Reviewers often wear gloves. What is the reason for that?

They wear gloves to keep from getting oil and finger/handprints all over the case. This makes it look nicer during the review.

Thanks. In practice, when I take out the case from the box and install components, I don't have to do that as the finger/handprints can be cleaned easily. Right?

Yeah for sure, you dont need to do that when you build your PC.
If its a case with a window, try not to touch it at all (as most acrylic panels get scratched extremely easily)

Thanks. My case is Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900 White Edition. It has a glass or acrylic panel.

It has just arrived but I have not opened the box yet. I have not ordered the rest of the components due to some issues such as back order of the Corsair AX1600i power supply.

For this case, will there be a problem if I put it on the floor? White may get dirty easily. Maybe I should get a small movable base with casters and put the case on it? Even my desk is very big, my 43" monitor will occupy most of the width when it arrive.

You can put it on the floor, the elevated feet it has should prevent any issue.
