Maybe it's a dying standard or not worth the effort to include, but it's annoying to put this much effort into a PC build and still need an additional accessory for access to SD's smh. It can get a bit tricky to fit everything in, especially when you have a bulky AIO, but that's something that I should have considered before. NZXT's Flow edition of cases cater to those who prefer air flow over what used to be a solid steel front panel in the past.

The perforated panel provides improved ventilation as warm air flows through the top of the chassis.

You may remove the front cover for easy access to the front cooling bracket, so that installing modules such as two 120 or 140 mm fans, or a radiator of up to 280 mm size should be pretty easy.Because of the location of the toilet bowl fan, you're limited in which GPU supports you can use because the fan is exactly where a floor mounted support would usually be.
