Great for a super cheap build
Nice and simple little case with great air flow. I put a ASRock N100DC-ITX board in it which has a embedded processor that is passively cooled. No fans, no sound at all coming from the machine. This computer is a fun project to run Casa OS on Debian. This is my new home for Home Assistant where I can control lighting, security cameras etc. One thing I like about the case is it is made to fit a power supply inside, but since I can run this motherboard off of a laptop power supply, I have all that room for some extra hard drives. The case is not too large, but it is easy to work inside of it, just a open box essentially, unlike a lot of ITX cases that are very tight. The construction is solid steel sheetmetal painted black. It’s not too fancy which is fine for this use case and it keeps the cost down. This whole computer including the case was around $200.

Mostly good. Small flaws.
This case is a breeze to work in, is perfectly compact, and has one single flaw.That flaw is that the front I/O daughter board is in the way of the GPU. Your GPU *WILL* hang too far and hit that little PCB and its wires… So I suggest you only buy this if you don’t intend on closing the side panel, or if you don’t need even a small dedicated GPU.Needing a riser cable could have been avoided if the manufacturer had put a low-profile brace elsewhere, instead of a regular sized GPU brace where it is… But that’s a nitpick. The only real concern is the placement of the Front I/O ports.For the price, it’s a decent case.

Great Compact Case
Great box overall and excellent build quality. I bought it for the compact form factor and it delivered perfectly.My build included 13th Gen i7 with onboard graphics (no standalone graphics card), Rog Strix B760-I, FSP mini ITX 500Watt Flex Power Supply along with Noctua NH-L9i (37mm low profile), M.2 NVMe and 2 RAM sticks.Using the low profile Noctua cooler fan was a good investment because the stick fan was taller and would not allow the MoBo placement after installing the fan (would have required stock fan to be mounted after the Mobo mounting in the box). And for one more reason as you will see below.There was little room left with this setup, exceptAfter fitting everything in and doing the best possible cable management (cutting off extra wires from the PSU etc. – get a modular Flex PSU if you can), the unit seemed to run pretty warm. Particularly the processor fan was blowing warm air across the motherboard, heating up the RAM significantly – even at low loads, RAM temps were nearing 60 degree Celcius (140 F).This is where the low profile Noctua Cooler helped. I was able to slap on a 140mm chassis fan using the ventilation hole grid on the side panel which sucked in air into the box. This fan consumed pretty much all of the rest of the space left in the box.This solved the heating problems and the PC runs super cool with RAM running below 40 C(100F), and Mobo and CPU also running 10C (50F) cooler.The only improvement that I would make to this box is to modify the front header PCBs (make them slightly smaller to offer a few more mm of space to slide a fully loaded miniITX mobo more easily.

Get super hot
My computer gets insanely hot not recommend if you have a basic setup. I would return mine but they dont accept returns

To many bad design choices…
I knew using this case would be a little frustrating simply because of the size. But as I put everything together, multiple bad design choices started to stand out.- No space for cable management. With an itx case that supports a flex PSU, you would think there should be at least a little space for cable management behind ths PSU.. this case almost has none. Maby a little space under the motherboard… nope.- The front panel USB 3 is placed in a horrible spot, and is just to large for this case. Also, the wire to connect to the motherboard is double the length it should be. And, if you wanted to put a graphics card in that top slot, then you don’t have to worry about it, because you will have to just remove it anyways.. what?- Want to mount an ssd to the top braket over the cpu fan? The bracket is not reversible, and the ssd mounts closer to the back of case. Want to put the sata connector facing towards the back of the case because thats the only open area left for cable management? It’s to close to the back, and a regular/straight sata connector will not fit. You’ll have to use a 90 degree sata connection (not included).There were more frustrating parts to this build, like how the SMA holes for the wifi are just slightly to large, so as you tighten them, they spin.. but these things can be made to work.Over all, I liked the look of this case. It felt rugged and well put together, just not well thought out. It does come with pretty much all the screws you will need, and as a bonus, a single small zip tie for cable management, lol.2 stars for this, as I can see this case working for some people.
