I've been eyeing this case for a long time but the lack of optical drive holds me back. How do you get around this issue?

I understand that optical drive is becoming less common because of digital download. However, isn't it still essential for a number of tasks? Say, you do a new build or reformat, you can install OS via USB boot but drivers still come in DVD format? If you don't have an extra PC or laptop to download the LAN driver then you won't be able to go online in the first place to download other drivers.

You can use an external ODD.

To me the only thing is "future expandability". If in the future I wan to go VR or the upcoming USB C, the case only has 2 USB 3 and no drive bracket.

HaHa but I still bought the case, waiting for stocks to come. Just can't resist the Tempered Glass .. :s22:

Received this picture just now. A colleague's friend replaced his old case to an ENTHOO SERIES Evolv ATX Tempered Glass. :D
His old MSI mobo, vga card and GSkill still remain.

I like this brightness. Can help to ask your friend how many light strips he used?
I ordered for ATX TG edition also. Hopefully can get the case before National Day :)

Btw guys, I wonder how u guys achieve positive air flow with this case. Kinda in a fix

I am using 2 140mm fans as intake, top using h100I v2 as exhaust, and a 140mm back exhaust. Was wondering if I should flip the top radiator fans as intake, so total 4 intakes, 1 140 exhaust out the back?

thought of that as well... but as the top is not filtered it might actually introduce even more dust into the case

was thinking of buying dust filters to cover the top radiator tray but i think its not a very good solution either

I am using 3 x 120mm fans in the front with the radiator as intakes. 3 x 120mm fans on top and 1 x 140mm fan at the back for exhaust.

was thinking of shifting my radiator front as intake also, but not sure if the pipes are long enough.

not sure if i should even bother about it, my gaming temps are about 70 on both gpu and cpu
