Small and well made
Really impressed with this little case. Well laid out and better quality than I expected for the low price. Can't imagine anything smaller and it fits out of sight on a diy bracket attached to the vesa mount behind a 21.5" monitor.

Simple, sturdy ITX Case
Bought this to house a thin itx board, in fact it the second one I have purchased. Case feels nice and sturdy unlike others I have bought in the past. Slots for additional cooling fans if required.

Good value ultra-compact case
Impressively solid for the price. The 2 x 2.5" bracket fits above the motherboard; remove this (use an M.2 ssd instead) and you can just about fit a low profile (<40mm) CPU cooler in. Plenty of airflow as well. Unfortunately one of the motherboard risers was misaligned (managed to fix this with some pliers), which was the only indicator of it's low price point. Note: DC power is the best option for this case. I used a pico PSU with an AC-DC adapter for my build.

Not a bad case, nice and small
Not a bad case, nice and small with good build quality apart from some of the screw hole threads are a bit dodgy. The holes for the internal fan mounts didn't appear to have threads but I managed to screw the screws in ok, maybe the threads were covered in paint. Does not come with a power supply and the official one from Chieftec is rather pricey at about £45, so I bought a pico power supply which works well. I also bought the add on lid for fitting a dvd drive (slimline) for £20 which allows either a Dvd drive or a 3.5" drive to be fitted, again the screw holes at the rear were missaligned and had to force the holes to match up. I wouldn't buy another.

Happy.
It's cheap and small. Has lots of small holes for cooling/letting dust in. I fitted mine with an SSD. Happy.

Case closed!
Well built and robust would buy again if I needed a micro case. To others reading i'd nake sure you have slim/short sata cables etc to make you build tidy/best air flow.

A great case for passively cooled ITX boards
A great case for passively cooled ITX boards. Be aware that it doesn't come with a power supply board so you need to source one from elsewhere.
