A1P Mini ITX Case Desktop PC Case(A1 Upgrade Version) Micro Slim Portable 2023 Small Backpack Aluminum Alloy Chassis DIY Installation for Gaming and Home Use

*Edit: I have recently added a graphics card in there since as I was able to find one $30 under MSRP. I have a EVGA RTX 3050 XC Gaming. I imagine the EVGA RTX 3060s are basically the same as the RTX 3050 size wise so you can get that to fit too. you will have to take the GPU's shroud off which is no problem. I ran into an issue with the head pipes preventing the GPU from being placed into the case. the solution was simple: drill two holes into the PC case to allow for the heat pipes to pock through the case as seen in the picture. The holes for the heat pipes are 1/4 in diameter and easy to drill. you will have to shoehorn the GPU into the case some until the heat pipes are in the holes (flex the case some; because you are barely flexing the case, it will NOT damage the case.) Once the heat pipes are in the holes, there is no bending on the GPU at all with +/- 3 mm of wiggle room. I am very happy with the results. with this new graphics card paired with the i7 10700, this computer is a very capable PC in a very small package. lol, the heat pipes look like decorative buttons on the case. Overall, I am very happy with this mod that I did to get the GPU to fit, and would do this again if i was building another PC using this case.*It's a little prices but it's pretty good quality. It's solid aluminum (relatively thick walls) with a satin finish; reminds me of sandblasted texture. The opening for the I/O shield was just a hair big, but you can open up the I/O to get that correct fit. Was not difficult to build in despite the case being so small (HTPC size). I will confirm that a fan that is 25 mm thick will not fit as suggested by the seller. If you look at the picture detail of the listing, it says that it handle 90 mm or 80 mm fans that are 15 mm thick. The setup I have going on is Asrock H470m-ITX motherboard, i3 10100 CPU, NH-L9i CPU cooler, 1 SSD for extra storage (Samsung NVMe as main storage), and 500 W flex ATX PSU. Running handbrake for 2 hrs, the CPU gets to about 65 C. The power button's LED give a back glow for the case which can be seen coming thru the vent holes (quite nice). I do have a graphics card in it but it's nothing special , GT 720 that I scavenged from my old Dell XPS 8700. I got this case because it looked good and of its small size. the goal was to have a full powered PC that would fit on a book shelf so that my kids could have a PC for at home school related tasks and web surfing. to that end this case allowed that goal to happen plus it looks good too. I am very pleased with it. It only come in the satin aluminum look, but cleaning it with some degreaser I can easily see the case being painted to any desired color and holding it without issue, but I am very happy as is. it does come with some rubber knobs for feet so it does have good grip and won't scratch the surface the computer is resting on. I would recommend the caseMy only complaint is that it came with no instructions but I managed just fine.Update: I upgraded the core i3 10100 with a core i7 10700. The cooler and the airflow are doing a good job at keeping the thermals in the i7 below 80 C when the CPU is pegged out at 100% usage @ 80 W.**Edit because I am keeping it in the book shelf as seen in the pic. I am running the i7 10700 at stock levels which is 65 W not because of the "reduced" airflow for intake (I fab'd up a bracket to guarantee 3/4 in on both sides of the case, so intake airflow isn't an issue); its the exhaust air due to the shelf above the case. Tested the setup several times with handbrake running it for an hour at a time. Temps with the case in its location in the bookshelf with the i7 10700 running a NH-L9i CPU cooler @ 65 W (stock PL1) is 73/75 C. I am very happy with the setup. have a powerful computer for my kids tucked away in their bookshelf and the setup is just clean. all the wires are hidden; this is the exact setup I had in mind. simply love it

I wish I could have had this case earlier. I was previously building a compact PC using Geeek A30 v2 which was also a great chasis with two 15mm fans able to be attached on top (and it was really fun building up the case first), but perhaps due to the material used in Geeek A30 is Acrylic, the thermal performance was just ok. I found and bought this A1 case because an Acrylic support pillar in A30 broke one day and no longer able to support MB stably.I simply transferred my build from A30v2 to this A1 - Asrock Z490 ITX MB with Core i3-10100, ID Cooling IS-30 (this MB and cooler combination would block CPU Fan and Cha Fan pins sitting next to each other, would recommend using Noctua), Crucial Ballistics RAM, Samsung m.2 SSD, Silverstone 500W F-ATX PSU and Gigabyte GTX1650 (GDDR 6 ver.).This case not only supports one 15mm fan attached to the top where there is a screw mount (this was the hardest part during assembly to me, as riser cable runs below the mount and the space between the Alu top panel and mount is almost just 15mm, it needed a bit of effort to use tools to hold the fan when screwing up it), but its Alu case panels also help keeping the PC cool. My i3-10100 runs at 40c when idling and goes up to 70c for heavy duties, thus I would not recommend 8-core or above as cooling solution is minimal in this kind of small cases. The finish of the panels is neat and clean, almost perfect except a tiny bump (shown in the picture). Well thought out layout and sufficient room for cables are truly worthy of mentioning.

This case is the perfect size for an ITX build. Cable management is a little tight but is manageable compared to another smaller ITX build I did. The case is also fairly sturdy. The add on of an exhaust fan on the top really helped thermals in the case to. The Pcie riser cable works fine to it came with even though it’s 3.0. The ability to fit something like a single fan GPU is also a plus. The only cons would be the ventilation holes on the case are fairly small and the CPU fan can get a little noisy. The Delivery time was also a bit slow at about 3 weeks from the time I ordered it. Other then that I would highly recommend this case for someone looking for a not to big not to small ITX case.

I absolutely love this case. For just about the smallest SFF ITX case you can buy it's also one of the cheapest. They're not trying to gouge people with a $250 price tag. It has everything you need for an ITX build inside the case and nothing more. The PCI-e riser is solid quality.All mounting holes lined up perfectly with all the parts and were fully tapped with the corresponding hardware - which is more than can be said about other cheap cases. It can fit one 92x14mm fan from noctua which I have installed blowing air at the top (it only can mount 2 of the 4 fan holes). I also have the NH-L9i CPU cooler and FSP FLEX ATX 500W power supply. Everything fit with no problem and works perfectly. I would also recommend LPX ram although it might not be necessary depending on the heatsink fin height.

The product description and item recommendation for for build is accurate. Very sturdy aluminum case, plenty of room to build you mini itx. I created a USB C port right above the USB A connected to 20gbs front panel connection from motherboard to give me more external USB connection.

Excellent case overall. Great build quality and design.I was a bit daunted at first since there were few reviews and it wasn’t from a brand name. I bit the bullet and went for the purchase and can say that I am not disappointed. The main challenge was finding a decent flex PSU to fit in the case. The rest of the process, finding the components and assembling the PC, was a breeze.Note: There is room for a 92MM fan on the top for exhausting hot air. I recommend the Scythe’s slim 92MM fan (a normal one will not fit).
