This case supports two 5.25" optical drives on the bottom, which is really rare.
It has two USB-A ports, and an opening for USB-C that is covered. You need to buy the adapter separately (for around $10) to get the hardware to install for USB-C. Don't get tricked by the USB-C label next to the covered port!

Had I not already gone down the small form factor route, I would have just gotten this case instead.

It's ok at $50 but you can do much better for a Mid-tower.
The only real plus is the 5.25" drive bay that 99% of people won't use

Also probably a mid tower
I just seen the Fractal Torrent Compact. it looks like what I am looking for but it's a little expensive.

Airflow mid tower...probably the Torrent/Torrent Compact but again, the trick is finding it on sale without the window. I've been bouncing between the versions of the Pop Air when I'm feeling cheap and jumping up to the Define 7 Compact when I'm feeling a bit more flush.
For non-Fractal alternatives, NZXT H5 Flow Compact might be a good choice. You could also look at the H7. Both are definitely function over form, which is what I prefer personally.
I don't need or want RGB or glass. Just want to maximize airflow and silence without compromising either to an extreme, preferably in a mid tower, without having to shell out $150+ for a case that I don't really need. I'll compromise on the size if needed but since the drive space isn't really needed, nor am I planning on using any water cooler or AIOs. It's just a 7700X with a 2060Ti. Light to moderate gaming at most and generally for 60-90 minutes at a time.
