Dear Zaber-Team,

Your Sentry 2.0 was so close to perfection, that I just signed up to post my opinion.
After building multiple Mini-ITX Systems for years, these are my thoughts for the Sentry 3.0:

Take the Sentry 2.0 as reference (even today it's one of the best looking SFF-Cases out there)
make a cleaner front (no visible screws)
remove front-panel-USB (reason: even mid-class motherboards nowadays have more than enough ports in the back) furthermore internal USB is an ABSOLUTE pain in the buildung process because of limited space. So it is not efficient.
Ventilation: Instead of using holes, use "horizontal cut outs" -> To give the case an aggressive gaming Look
Please do not focus too much on this Nvidia high TDP-GPU-Generation. There is nothing wrong going with a good blower-style card or an AMD-Reference card.
Keep supporting SFX PSUs. SFX-L is too huge, and good Flex-PSUs are just too rare/uncommon.
Keep the feet/stand of the case - absolute perfection.
Please no crazy colors. Just a clean good lucking black (1) and white (2). Two colors are all we need!

Many greetings from a great supporter in Germany.
