Review: Great Case for Small Form Factor Build, and fun, too! - This is a very sturdy case, small too. Outside dimensions are 7 7/8 (front to back) by 8 by 3 inches, with the glass top on. Inside dimensions are 7 5/8 by 7 ¾ by 2 ¾ making this case just under 3 liters. Here’s what I put in this case: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-I mini-ITX with Intel i5-12600K ID-COOLING IS-47-XT 47mm Height Low Profile CPU Cooler MEAN WELL EPP-200-12 AC to DC Switching Open Frame Power Supply RGEEK 24pin DC ATX PSU 12V DC Input 250W Pico PSU Mini ITX PC Power CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 96GB (2x48GB) 2TB + 4TB NVME’s Some fans Some LEDs I had three main objectives for the build – decent specs for software development internal power (no external brick) <= 3-liter build. Because of its size, this case is a challenge to build in, but that’s exactly what I was after. I saw other builders that had to include size as a requirement for individual parts, like memory sticks needed to be short for the cooler to fit and again memory size and the pico power supply. I ran into the same but managed to easily rectify any issues. Cooling is virtually impossible with the glass top, even if you put spacers between it and the case. I had a hard time keeping everything under 80C. To solve that I used an 8 X 8 X 1/8-inch piece of acrylic and used a 2-inch hole saw to make a cutout above the CPU fan. I put ¼ inch spacers between it and the case and temperature problem solved – CPU is running 35-45C and the NVME drives hover around 43-46C. Most times at home I do run the PC with the top off, which is pretty cool. The next issue to tackle was fitting the Mean Well EPP-200-12 into the case. Fortunately, in this case you can use spacers for the side panels so after adding 3/8-inch spacers to the left panel (bottom in the pictures) I was good to go with the 200 Watt Mean Well. My skill with cable management is debatable and the case is OK, it neither helps nor hinders. The biggest challenge was the thick USB cables. Looping them & some 4-inch cable ties does the job, plus got to hide a bunch of excess cable length in the loop too, so an added bonus. Next, I added 3 Noctua fans, 2 10MM and one 20MM. The CPU fan blows down, so the top center Noctua pulls from the bottom helping circulate the air. Right-top pulls from the pico power supply which seems to generate some heat and the bottom one blows air over the Mean Well EPP-200-12. It had better specs if fan-cooled so why not? Lastly, I added some LEDs because, why not? The observant reader will note that the ID-COOLING CPU Cooler is not LED. I replaced the stock fan with the Scythe Kaze Flex 92mm Slim RGB Fan for that last little piece of bling. Would I buy this case again? Yes. Without hesitation. It is a sturdy, well built case that is very fun and challenging to build in. Challenging in a good way, trying to fit 4 liters of parts into a 3-liter case.
Review: Great robust little case! - This is a great sturdy little case. I would highly recommend it. The only negative is that the top SSD mount is pretty much useless unless you have a REALLY low profile heatsink and fan. But there is a second mount location in the back of the case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glass version is good for low powered CPU/APU Not compatible with HDPlex Pico PSE unless you mod.
*by J***I on August 12, 2021*

Very sturdy, and small case. It looks nice as a living room HTPC. I ordered the glass version, and it works well with a 2400GE Pro (35W) APU (max temps around 70c) with the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 cooler. However due to the size, and glass top there are airflow issues. If you are not using a ultra low powered CPU (like a embedded ITX motherboard) do not install a 2.5" SATA drive above the motherboard theres just not enough room for even the Noctua cooler to breathe. In fact I would not recommend any CPU/APU that is above a 35W TDP Variant without modding (at least for the glass version). If you want to use something like a 65W APU like the 5300G/5600G with the glass version buy some black motherboard standoffs to raise the glass up to allow additional air to come in. Also the holes for the DC Plug for the PICO PSU is for a 5.5x2.5mm DC Plug max. I have a HD Plex 200W PICO PSU that uses a 19V Dell adapter but the hole is to small so I had to widen the hole with a drill to get the plug to fit. It was a slight pain in the butt to get it in the case as well due to the heatsink on it so just a heads up for those that want to use a PICO PSU with a heatsink. If your wanting to make a small Ryzen APU ITX build the best motherboard to use with the least hassle would be the ASRock a320TM-ITX, or the X300TM-ITX due to the onboard DC input (no need for a PICO PSU) if you have either board you can also install a 2.5" SATA drive due to the positioning of the APU is not in the same place as other ITX motherboards. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars due to me needing to mod the case for the PSU.
