So true lol. I'll stick with my £160 Thermaltake case.
Looks like a £25 pc case from a dark corner of a 2001 computer fair waiting for someone that just wants functional and doesn't care about aesthetics although i do like the see through front it will just be a dust magnet unless the bottom of the front panel has a hidden filter.

That I can identify with. I have very cheap PC case. And it came with proper dust filters and on top of that with same mesh which this one uses instead of filters. Used cloth tape on inner side of removable covers to dampen vibrations (noise). And it is not far away from very expensive cases in functionality.
I never cared about plastic additions to body of PC case, it is just waste of space.
When I look for innovative approach to PC cases I can think about one rare thing...
In past most of cases had PSU above MB, then trend became PSU below MB.
And next trend was to reduce internal/external positions for optical drives/HDD to allow user customization.
But those changes freed space, actually a lot of space into which PSU can fit in many ways. And that means good 9cm height added just for PSU can be saved. PSU can be oriented differently to reduce depth of PC case as it became common to use water cooling and therefore we no longer need 18cm clearance for big heatsinks.
That brings me to this X2 case... It looks like any other universal case out there available for very long time.
@Hilbert: If you happen to have opportunity to review some specialty PC case made with modern technologies in mind, I think we would not have such lame comments.
