I presume the bar over the top also functions as a carry handle..... no...?
Why do so many makers of big, heavy cases never think to put handles on 'em?
Awesome case, good idea re the handle (Ttaskmaster)
It's not so much designed for hardcore gamers as for people with lots of money who like to think of themselves as hardcore.
Marketing is truly a stain on our planet :(
If a case is that big & heavy, I'd rather see it have a built-in sack truck!Quote:

More interested in airflow and ease of fitting under my desk.
Yes, and Coolermaster have done a couple... such as the Scout, Cosmos and Trooper... one of which I almost ended up buying, before I realised I was no longer 12!Quote:

Corsair did well enough with the C70 case handles, though, and that's a small-mid size case so it's clearly not that big a deal. Heck, there are enough plastic bits around most cases that there's plenty of room for hiding secure grip points and handholds. I could think of a good half-dozen ways to easily implement handles without impacting on the internals or outer dimensions!
Besides, one should be dusting the PC out roughly once a month, which you surely do outside, no? :)
That requires carrying.
No air-dust filters? Nope.
My case has intake filters. Every now and then I vacuum them, give them a blast with the air duster and pop then back in for another round. No carrying required. Inside has only needed cleaning once in a blue moon. It really does stay clean. The last deep clean was when I swapped the processor in 2018Quote:
