Though I've occasionally looked into other cases to house my m-itx gaming build nothing else I've seen measures up to what I need. Overall Review: I've had this case for 2 years and 4 months now. (Check measurements of your components overall). Overall Review: Overall, I recommend this to anyone wanting to build a mini ITX case.

It does allow for a full sized graphics card (some limits, see measurements), but the space next to the case is very close. The screw holes in the case also could have used another drill through as some were hard as heck to screw into. I looked at the measurements and everything was just fine with the PSU I purchased.Ĭons: With the thought of the PSU size in the Pros, you also have some issues with Cable Management if you do not get a modular PSU as there is not a lot of space to bundle extra cable together.

The one thing to note is to make sure to get the appropriate size PSU to go inside of this as most will be to big if you want to include your graphics card. Inside the design is great with many options for keeping things organized. Pros: Out of the box and on my desk this case is is so much smaller than my ATX case was. hope I don't regret that in a couple years. I'm not going to bother with paying shipping on an RMA since I'm only using 1 HDD. It wouldn't have been hard for them to use decent screws there, but they didn't. It's surprising, because the rest of the build quality is SO good that to have one thing that bad is a mystery. Overall Review: I'm REALLY disappointed in the lapse in quality on those hard drive cage screws. I only have one HDD in my build so it's not a total deal-breaker for me. I am docking two eggs for this, because this is a potentially show-stopping issue for anyone who may want to remove the cages. So, 2 of my 3 hard drive cages are permanent fixtures and cannot be removed unless I go get my dremmel and cut them out for good. I tried about 10 different screwdriver heads and the metal is just too soft to unscrew them. Two of mine happened to arrive fastened in tight, and because the metal is so soft, it bent/warped to the point where they CANNOT be removed at all. They are small and made of some cheap-o super soft metal. Not the thumb screws - those are fine - the tiny screws (one per HDD bay) near the front of the case. Quality fans included, with fan controller!Ĭons: One show-stopping con for this case: the tiny screws used to mount the hard drive cages in place are HORRIBLE. Removable (theoretically - see below) hard drive cages with rubber mounts to dampen noise

Screw positions to install PSU either way (up/down) Dust filtering on front intake fans and over the PSU intake Can fit a LOT of hardware into the case including decent CPU coolers and graphics cards Pros: -Outside of one issue (see cons), the build quality is absolutely superb and the case looks gorgeous.
