Hi
Need help in sourcing for a Mid ATX casing with the following spec. Any suggestions is most appreciated. Thank you.
- USB 3.1 Type-C in top panel
- At least one 5.25 Bay for DVD writer.
- 2 slot for front fan with easy to remove dust filter
- 2 slot for top fan with easy to remove dust filter
- 1 slot for bottom fan with easy to remove dust filter

So far most of the casing doesn't come with USB 3.1 type C and 5.25 Bay together.

Top dust filter is rare. What I saw is not mainstream casing.

The Fractal Design Define R6 has 1 X 5-25" bay, top dust filter and front dust filter with bottom dust filter too. Need to get their USB Type-C front panel separately.

That's one I can think of, only problem is that is it still on sale?

I believe there are others but I only use this case so far...haha

I purchase the Fractal Design Define Connect C kit (which is a IO front panel with Type-C USB) and swap out my current one even my motherboard has no front USB Type-C connector as I like the option to have it once I change my motherboard in future. It cost just $29. But with technology moving so fast, I am not sure it will be obsolete when I change my motherboard...haha

If you willing to forgo the 5-25" drive bay, there are much more options of cases to choose from.

If I have not a ASUS ROG RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 that has a good DAC for front audio, I will have much more options for cases.

A $30 USB DVD writer is a good option to consider if you will not be using it often.

Thank you Calvin. Seems like this is the only PC casing in the SG market that comes with USB type C and 5.25 Bay.

If you can forgo 5.25" drive bay, then try this casing! :D
