When is an "ATX Tower" not ATX-compatible? (AZZA 6-slot) (Build pics)

If you read the text, and I got to this product via Newegg's drill-down, selecting "7 expansion slots", and then "Azza", you will see they claim support for 7 expansion slots.

But if you look at the pictures REALLY CAREFULLY, you will notice that the 7th slot, does NOT "punch out". You can't put a card there!

I've got some pics of my build, that I will post soon, but just wanted to warn people that were thinking of getting this case. (It's on sale for $29.99 FS @ Newegg and Newegg on ebay.)

It's not a horrible case, but that just seems ... cheap... to slight the user a slot.
 
Note the last three pics of BIOS/UEFI of this Biostar B150 board, with "Overclocking Lock: Disabled", and multiplier / ratio setting control.

Looks like this board can non-Z OC Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs?
 
This forum software does funny things with image links and embeds. I've had that problem too, looking at other people's images. When I switch to my laptop, which is running NoScript, then I can see them. Otherwise, I just see "[-IMG-]"

Edit: I'm not self-hosting those; they're on a commercial image-hosting service.

I can see the pictures.

There's no way I would have picked up that there are only 6 functional slots on that case. The pictures on Newegg and description are very misleading (I'd contact them about it). Only looking at the Amazon pics do I notice that it's essentially a vent.

I expect compromises at that price point, but they should at least be clear about it.
 
There is a reason that Newegg or online sellers put up a rating system for buyers.

Why buy products that only have 3 stars?

===

Curiously, no buyers complained about the 7th slot that actually is just a vent. 😵

2. Your using microATX mobo. I realize that you could put a USB expansion port off a mobo header.
3. Why is most of your photos blurry/out of focus? Why not retake until you've gotten a good shot?
