Damn it is ugly

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... 😕

Damn it is ugly

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.

I quite like it, Jonsbo stuff is usually well built. Anyway, stop complaining about dust and clean your house better. ;-)

FUGLY as frack.

I like it, although I still prefer the 'Antec Torque'.
