On top we do not see a mesh, that's better for sound isolation the front sides (both) you can spot a ventilation meshk/strip. The case is designed to draw airflow directly to the GPU to help ensure that you and your graphics card will both keep your cool during gaming sessions.

At the front side at the to right we see the power on switch and LED activity. Connectors wise you'll have USB 3.0 x2, MIC/Headphones. It is nice to see USB 3.0 implemented here.

Located at the top right you can see a small switch, that is in fact a three-speed fan controller at its lowest setting for silent operation. When it’s time to push your system hard, take it up a notch or two for on-demand cooling.

The side panels have been fitted with sound damping cloth.

Internals then, first impression, that's a very decent amount of room to work in for a mid sized tower alright. The second thought would be the all black design, including cables and connectors. Lacking are rubberized grommet holes or more specifically the black rubber inlays to hide cabling, but overall you can make it all really clean and tidy if you use dark wiring.

A good and popular trend these days is to make a big gaping hole in the motherboard tray. This actually is a CPU backplate cutout which allows you to remove and install a new CPU cooler much easier. Typically you'd need to take out the motherboard to install a new cooler, now you can access it from both sides without that unpleasant experience of removing a motherboard from the chassis.
