I can't believe anybody would have voted for this. Monoprice are not known for their cases and this one is hardly a bargain. There are much better cases in the ~$100 range from a wide variety of well regarded brands.

ChaoticKinesisI don't think anyone did... Monoprice is just a willing vendor who has their fingers in a lot of different markets. It stands to reason that if people want a mid-tower case, this is the first (maybe only) option they've got.
At least through Massdrop. Nothing is stopping people from shopping on Amazon or Newegg. I don't know anything about this case, so it could be awful. For example, it doesn't even have cable management grommets... So many cases at this price do.

ChaoticKinesisWe think Monoprice really delivers excellent value and they are very willing to let us do group buy style orders. We just sat down with them and found all the products that they sell that had a comparable poll with more than 200 votes, or were similar to products that we had listed in the past.
This poll - https://www.massdrop.com/vote/gaming-computer-cases is the reason I put this up, but since it's rather obvious that the community isn't fond of this case (plus the NZXT one looks amazing), I'm not going to answer this poll with this product. I'll work on seeing what pricing looks like for this NZXT case and see if we can get something going instead.

Acidtrip69I second this suggestion. While I'm not looking to buy a case for myself anytime soon, I have two PCs in Fractal Design cases. They are popular among PC builders because their quality is excellent, they look great, and are one of the best values on the market.
However, if you do somehow manage to list a window side panel for the original Arc Mini (which seemingly never went on sale despite promises that it would), I promise I will buy it regardless of price (within reason)!

AndrewLekashmanMonoprice can do some really good stuff, and lots of people don't see a lot of it, I think you would have been better taking a risk and going for some of the more in between the lines products and more obvious deals that monoprice can jump in and hit above their weight e.g. the 11567 DAC/Amp they have which I think after the big quincy jones headphone bonanza you could clear a lot of quickly. Things like this where they are trying to dip into an already heavily saturated market aren't the best when you look at them in context.
Plus you guys really need to get some non priority shipping options, particularly international, you guys aren't a next day delivery type of business so sending something on the cheap and slow shipping methods rather than expensive high priority airmail will satisfy. Particularly items like this, I think most would rather wait 3-8 weeks and pay less than get it in 2-3 weeks and pay a lot more.

AndrewLekashmanbs, this is not good value at all... its a huge rip off. and again your shipping is just ridiculous so much so that i can only imagine mass drop is making a profit on it
