I am so disappointed that this has the RGB stripe. Almost certainly would have picked it up otherwise.

JohnsonMGYou wanted to have a full metal unibody? Also, not sure if you know, but you can simply turn the RGB off. Some people forget that the lights are controllable, just in case you missed this detail.

MiToUnibody obviously doesn't make sense with TKL, but I would like to not have an ugly strip of translucent plastic running around the entire case. I get that it's personal preference, but to me it detracts from the premium look and feel of the board.

JohnsonMGIt actually does make sense in my opinion, one of the design aspects that make such a thing possible is for example having a flat bottom part that flushes from underneath the unibody/top construction.
The incredible CA66 is an example of this engineering method in action:

MiToAh, great point! I guess that still counts as unibody even though its technically 2 parts? But either way I 100% agree that is a great example of a premium looking case design. I imagine it's harder/more expensive to machine so I understand the direction taken here, but it's just not to my taste.

JohnsonMGYes, it is technically two parts but only one is always visible so I count that as unibody! A great design indeed...
