Good workmanship, easy to install.

This case was easy to assemble. I used a Flex-ATX PSU, Ryzen 3400g and a stock cooler. I had to remove the decorative cover on the radiator to make room, but it doesn't affect performance in any way. I didn't use a dedicated GPU, just an APU, so the cabling is fine. Adding this card would have made the cable space quite small, but that's to be expected. I added 2x 80mm noctuas for the inlet to hopefully improve cooling. I gave this build away so can't speak for the cooling but I suspect the APU

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Weight

A great mini case that's hard to beat

The case is nice but not for the faint of heart. Although I haven't built my system yet, I have a few components to see what problems I'll have building. Originally I was looking for a sufficiently large case for the Ryzen 3400g. (Not required for this scenario, but certainly useful). A good size for some small fans, and aluminum really helps dissipate heat. However, when I compare the performance I can get from a 3400g with say a used Ryzen 2600 and a used GPU, I thought about buying something

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Nothing

Like sus ngl, but yeah that's good

Where to start. Building in this case was more frustrating than trying to thread a Parkinson's needle. OH GOD THAT'S it baby. My plan for this opportunity was to build a decent little LAN PC so I could play csgo and EU4 with the guys. Below is room for just two 80m fans which I used with two low profile noctuas. I also went with a cheap Asrock ITX board, a Ryzen 7 2700x, a low profile Noctua cooler and a low profile 1650. If you can find a sff modular power supply please for god's sake go getโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Quality of screws

Good for most but my only complaint is that the screws used to remove the top cover wear out quickly each time they are loosened. The only reason I bought them was because these cases sold out quickly. I don't think the price is reasonable for the quality of the screws. Disappointing.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some flaws

Perfect size - external components

Running Noctua NH-9a cooler with NF-A9 fan installed to keep my Ryzen 5 3600 nice and cool while still leaving enough room around 25mm. Cable routing is a little tight, but that's to be expected in an SFF case. The power button feels a little flimsy to me, and the front USB port is the same, but it works well and looks good. The aluminum it's made of is a lot thicker than I expected, but that only adds to the stability and makes it very durable. The case's top vents aren't aligned with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expensive

Good case! in computer components

Excellent HTPC. nice design. Slim enough to fit into any room design. I put together a mini gaming rig with a discrete GPU (low profile GTX 1650). The thermals for such an assembly in this case are not bad given its size. You can add 2 x 80mm fans on the left side of the case. I recommend using high static pressure fans to force as much fresh air into the system as possible. This also helps keep fan noise to a minimum. There is no place to install an exhaust fan in the usual way. There isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • I look forward to
Cons
  • Socket required

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 thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • No insurance
