You know what’s better than a case with a bunch of lights? A case without a window

The vision: this, apparently.

The reality: watching dust accumulate in places you can't possibly clean.

Pass.

Wdym? You can take apart a PSU somewhat easily

There's a reason a lot of devices usually have a "don't open, risk of shock/death" label.

You're not dealing with a main breaker panel or something, the worst thing is probably the big smoothing capacitors which would be a hell of a shock, but unlikely to kill you.

Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you'll be fine

they could use glass instead

But they didn't, and considering the contours, bevels, and additional costs that glass would bring, they almost certainly won't.
