Hits Pareto optimality of minimal footprint/maximal airflow for fitting an ATX motherboard and a 168mm CPU cooler with dust filters on the air intakes.
(I'm assembling a home server/workstation on a W880 mobo for ECC support - am giving the CPU all the cooling it can reasonably take, but no GPU or non-M.2 drives, so don't need much room in the case for anything other than the mobo and CPU heatsink.)
I ended up ordering one with a window since the solid side version is effectively impossible to acquire in North America.
