Pros
- excellent craftsmanship and strong, long-lasting metal. Being that the front panel is typically protected, lifting it will require significant physical effort. Beautiful small Mini-ITX enclosure that can accommodate some Micro-ATX motherboard models and even very large video cards. The maximum dimensions of suitable Micro-ATX boards, as measured using a tape measure, are as follows: width up to 203 mm when inserting a long video card VERTICALLY, as in my images; height up to 226 mm (there are few such Micro-ATX models, but they are available for any socket). Turning the power supply sideways is required to install motherboards larger than 244 mm, which makes it impossible to install lengthy video cards vertically. Instead, you can only put them horizontally below, as is customary. Any motherboard width may accommodate short 2-fan video cards, albeit it might be necessary to tilt the power supply. Instead of using SFX, you will need to labor with a grinder and a screwdriver to saw through a portion of the front wall in order to install a long video card VERTICALLY and a sizable ATX power supply concurrently. Do not be scared to cut; the front panel will be lovely and will conceal everything. For your convenience, tempered glass and a metal door with a dust filter are included in the kit. A top-notch raiser for putting the video card sideways is included in the package.
Cons
- 1. You must change the ATX power supply yourself; it cannot be installed as is. 2. There are a couple of centimeters missing from the audio cable that connects to the front panel, preventing a lovely cable management. 3. Complete fans are awful; sell them right away on eBay. 4. As with any small case, be ready to invest a LOT of time in construction, fine-tuning, and cable management. But trust me, it was worth it because of the stunning outcome.
