Case Industry Review - SteelCrysis - 09-09-2017
Key points:
- Lack of innovation in the case industry, which comes from inconsistent efforts from OEMs who are more diluted in their focus than they used to be
- Lack of airflow due to focus on price and aesthetics
- $200+ pricing is no longer viable in general
- OEMs have wasted money on useless features, but not anymore
- 200mm fans went away due to differing mounting hole specs, z-height issues, bearing issues that required more expensive bearings, lack of radiator support, and they weren't suitable for radiators due to lack of static pressure, but now Cooler Master is trying to bring back 200mm fans
- Case OEMs have to sell 3,000–7,000 cases per month in order to be viable, or less if they're selling a rebranded product
