It does look very nice.  It violates just one of my case rules.  It has
a door in front of the optical drive.  I don't like those, because they
can break your optical drive if software ejected.  Of course if you don't
intend to have an optical drive which is very much a valid option these
days, then that doesn't matter, and it does make it look very clean.
I have been using the Silverstone TJ04-E myself lately.

Well I see their web page says:

Package contents

* Define R5 computer case
* User manual
* Accessory box

I would be very surprised if that box isn't full of screws and stuff.
