Why would Lian Li put the external ports on top without any kind of dust cover? They will just fill up with dust and dirt. Stupid! Better cases have a flip up design or dust cover. Also, no air filters. Other Lian Li cases have nice easy to clean air filters to help keep the dust out of your case.

I used this in my last computer and was very satisfied.

I enjoyed viewing your "picture story". Hope you are enjoying your new computer. Is it as quiet as you expected?
