The Enlights are like that too. I've had 3 versions of the
same Enlight mid-tower ATX. First had the all-in-one
U-shaped outer skin, not separate side panels. PITA to open
up, but sturdy enough to stand on.

2nd has the individual side panels, looks like the pic of
the 3rd but no front USB and 1.0mm metal like the 1st.

3rd adds USB, but metal is now only 0.8mm thick.

Front intake not sufficient for much, I ended up filling the
top 4 bays with hard drives, putting a pleated filter in
front of them and using it as a fileserver. It's a fairly
deep case for it's height, and rarer to have 4 x 5 1/4
external bays for it's height too, but lack of front intake
makes it more suited for P3 era cooling needs than a modern
set of gear. I thought about cutting out a big hole in the
bottom of the bezel and putting in a mesh filter plate but I
have no shortage of spare cases, no need to do it.
