The Beta has a very classic look, a simple straight forward design its front bezel is comprised of plastic and a metal mesh where the optical disc drive bays are located. There are four external 5.25" drive bays each with a dust filter to minimize the dust and increase air flow. The covers for the drive bays are removed just by pulling on the small tab and pushing them out of the front of the bezel.
The left hand side of the Beta has the capability to mount two optional 120mm intake fans. The right side is just a flat panel.
The rear of the case has seven expansion slots, two pre-drilled holes with grommets for a water cooling loop, the power supply mounting bracket, I/O shield for the motherboard and an optional 120mm or 80mm exhaust fan.
The top of the chassis has the typical I/O Panel Mic Headphone 2X USB and e-SATA ports. The power and reset switches are located at the middle of the chassis just below the optical disk drive bays.

It is nice that it has dust filters, but it doesnt look very easy and convenient to clean them out. The tool-lless design is nice, most cases seem to have that now.
For a cheap, budget case it may work, but I've seen better looking cases.
look, all in all, it seems like a good enough case for low to mid end systems (and of course the budgets), but i think its pretty safe to say that none of us here would have this case pop up as our first recommendation for a case.
I forgot where I saw it but I read somewhere that a couple of people use coffee filters as dust filters for their case and it works great.
wait, which kind? i certainly hope youre not talking about the brown paper type...
lol, worse comes to worse, just cut out a square from your clothing and use that
