Premium Aluminum Mini-ITX HTPC Desktop Computer 💻 Chassis with Sliver Tempered Glass - Goodisory A01 Review

I love these cases so much I have three of them, all in three different colors. I was able to install a full-height CPU cooler on one of them, and this is done simply by adding extensions (motherboard brackets) to the four screws that hold the glass cover in place. You can actually screw two on top of each other to separate the glass cover more from the body. The only thing I would "improve" on these cases from the factory is that I would make the bottom panel removable or cut out to allow…

Cons: The motherboard brackets were 1-2mm shorter: When I installed the motherboard, the connectors were moved 1-2mm down from the corresponding cutouts in the I/O shield. I got around this by gluing a couple of small fiber washers to the mounting post, which raised the panel just enough for the connectors to line up with the I/O shield. Annoying enough to justify two stars from my rating. The second downside is the mount, which only holds the 2.5"…

However, there are problems with the airflow due to the size and the glass surface. Don't install a 2.5" SATA drive above the motherboard unless you're using an ultra-low power processor (e.g. an integrated ITX motherboard), there just isn't enough room, even for a Noctua cooler. An APU that without…
