The top is covered with a magnetic filter that blends seamlessly with the rest of the case. I/O includes the usual power and reset buttons, twin USB 3.0 ports, a lone USB 2.0 port, and an RGB on/off button. Of course, you get standard HD Audio ports as well as power and drive activity indicators as well. It’s also worth noting that while the X3 Mesh comes with the top fan positions occupied, the case also supports 140mm fans or a 280mm cooler in this location as well.
