Jonsbo offers MOD5 open frame chassis with high aiflow
JONSBO announced an open frame PC case called "MOD5" with an ultra-high airflow design that can mount a total of nine 120mm fans, yep, nine .. that thing might levitate.
JONSBO's open frame PC case "MOD" series is a high airflow design model "MOD5" that can mount a total of 9 120mm fans. It has a unique design with the motherboard tray placed diagonally, and tempered glass is used for the front and side panels. From the front to the bottom, where the power supply unit, storage, and cooling fan (radiator) are mounted, a metal plate for blinds is included to prevent the cables from being exposed, and illumination with addressable RGB LEDs is also standard equipment.
The cooling fan has 120mmx3 front, 120mmx2 top, 120mmx3 bottom, 120mmx1 rear, 7 expansion slots, graphics card length 400mm, power supply unit 220mm depth, CPU cooler up to 180mm height. The I/O port has USB3.0x2, USB Type-Cx1, audio terminal x1, and microphone terminal x1. The body size is width 255mm, depth 600mm, height 635mm, weight 9kg. Compatible form factors are ATX, MicroATX, Mini-ITX. The frame is 2.0mm and 3.0mm thick aluminium-magnesium alloy, and the tempered glass is 4mm thick.

Do none of the designers of these "open frame" cases know that DUST EXISTS ?
Pay an exorbitant amount of money only to get everything in the computer covered in a thick layer of dead human cells, textile fragments, hairs, smoke, bacteria colonies and other disgusting things...

That's quite subjective (although I don't like it either). However, I can't imagine how much dust it will get with open chassis. You'd need to clean it like every week, as opposed to some silent, closed case where you just vacuum the filters once in a while and insides remain completely dust free.

2017's Cougar Conquer was the first ORIGINAL open-air case to start this whole MechWarrior case theme. And then in 2018, some others copied that Conquer style, with the Antec Torque being one of them. Jonsbo is a China company that previously copied a number of InWin cases (e.g. Jonsbo's MOD1 is a copy of InWin's S-Frame open-air folded-metal frame design), so it does not surprise me that Jonsbo's MOD5 looks like an overweight Torque. Thermaltake, who is always ready to copy designs, also came out with their AH T600, which is even far uglier than this ugly Jonsbo MOD5. And there is also a DarkFlash Knight-1 that owes most of its design to the 2017 Conquer.
Honestly, I think that all of these MechWarrior case styles are really ugly. The original Cougar Conquer was a little interesting. But then all of the later Conquer-wannabes, including Cougar's own Conquer-2 revision, just try to outdo each other for the Ostentatiously Stupid Case Design of the Year award.

I like the design, not sure if i'm brave enough to go with an open setup.
