Review on πŸ’» Goodisory A02 0.12in Mini-ITX Aluminum Desktop Computer Chassis HTPC Chassis (Silver) - Sleek, Compact, and High-Quality by William Gildea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Entirely made of aluminum (except tray).

This is a simple, tasteful aluminum box that is hard to find these days. At 2U (half the height of a PCI slot), it's very roomy. It fits on DTX with space for exhaust or 160mm radiator/fan combo with single slot card on ITX. The 3.5" drive bracket is useless as it covers almost all of the top vents, but it can be removed. It only has brackets for a single 2.5" drive, but you can modify the dual 2.5" drive bay to fit in the same spot, or screw it on the back (with a small modification). In this case, a two-slot card is still suitable. If the designers had thought a little more, these mounts would actually already be there. Again, the legs are not prudently riveted to the base, but they are small, so attaching them to the legs with a stick is not scary. I use it to run a TV tuner card with memory and in the near future the APU will be able to do 1080 high settings. Small is the future.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • No insurance
