> Sliger CX4712 One of the few legit attempts at a "homelab" friendly design, with ATX PS and 120mm fans. The 2.5" SSD "cage", USB ports and power switch are all on the wrong (right-hand) side. Headers for all those things are nearly always on the opposite side given ATX motherboards, so you have to cross over the whole case, in the path of cooling air, with long wires. Huge miss. The fan mount plate could have rolled slot(s) on the bottom to pass cables under a foam rubber flap, reducing cable length by not routing all the way around either side of the fans. Positioned properly (i.e. higher) the internal 120mm fans would allow ample room for that. Minimizing cable length is important for signal integrity. Don't think much of the brush solution to gap filling. That is not effective for controlling air pressure: some volume of air will just cycle around in a loop through those two brush "seals" and their cable induced holes. A really great design would have modular drive cages for various storage form factors: 2.5", 3.5", U.2/3, etc.
