    Can that horrible logo on the front be easily removed? If not, hard pass.

    It's apparently backlit (from the pictures), so I'd say definitely not. And you're 100% right - it looks terrible and ruins the otherwise modern aesthetic.

    Nope. And they slap that same logo that looks like it was designed by 12 years old me trying to be some edgy little shit on all of their peripherals. How any person working there looked at it and thought it looked good astounds me

    The logo can be swapped down to the bottom and you can move the power button and ports to the top so while you cannot really remove it permanent you can hide it on the lower part of the front of the case
