Lightweight is my case of choice, although given its size it was literally the most difficult system to build. I'm testing this like a pro, not a cheater, because I've managed to swap a full-size water-cooled i7 8700k to a Pro z370 (itx) overclocking motherboard, a full-size GTX 1070 sc2, a full-size ATX PSU, and a 3 .5 inch full size hard drive in addition to my hidden m.2 nvme ssd all in a case less than 15 letters. It's funny how cool this thing stays at full 5.2GHz overclocking with GPU and RAM overclocking, and is still quiet enough not to hear it's crazy unless you put your ear all the way down forward, and I recommend this case to all my customers considering this form factor. I just ask them if they want to experience what it's like to pack an advanced, full-featured gaming rig into a small backpack, and that's it. It sells just like me. Update in about a year. I still highly recommend it, but I have to stress that this is not a test bed, just stamp stealing. So if you take it apart once a week you'll slash the rear screw holes and potentially end up breaking the very thin plastic screw fasteners holding the front panel. I made the mistake I made and this thing opened up a dozen times in the first 2 weeks, not because it wasn't working well, it was working great until I removed all 4 screws on the case and all 4 Threaded tabs for the front panel broke fumbling with various components but I was able to fix this with some epoxy and a few small sets of nuts and bolts and it is much stronger now and has reinforced mounting points. Just a folded metal back of the case so there is at least minimal reinforcement and maybe metal screws on the front instead of plastic not needed for small things. This case was extremely impressive, especially considering it's a simple metal box, nothing more, so I know the cost of production isn't that high that they make these simple changes and it's still for about the same 55 -Can sell $60.
