Looking at ITX cases this one caught my eye, looks nice I think. Anyone here have one or seen it? I am thinking I might be unable to resist at $70 bucks.
 
It looks a lot cheaper than the MATX version due to the plastic front.
 
I have one - it's one of the best cases I've worked in. It's really well spaced out / designed, though you might run into some issues if you're looking at doing a full loop. I currently have mine setup with two NZXT x41s, though I plan to go to an EVGA AIO for my 980, and perhaps switch to a 240mm for my CPU. So much room to work on cabling, I like that it's a typical looking mini-tower.

I like that it is laid out that way as well, a custom loop would require some planning. The H100i I am currently using would fit fine. One thing I wonder is how is the cooling? I have a 980 Strix which I think would be fine in there.
 
Personally could never go for it just due its size - It's over 30L where there are smaller cases for less BUT phantek do make really really good cases to work in and if you want to do an actual loop on ITX it would be easier to work in plus it's a good price.

Might wanna have a flick through there to see if anything else takes your fancy (It might be easier than the spreadsheet just because you can see what the case is)

Thats a great link, thanks.


Yeah this case is large but I like it more than most of the other largish ITX offerings. If the window version ever drops below $50 I'll probably pick one up to mess around with.

Thanks! That is a helpful link!

Still fence riding, it is large for an ITX case, and that's really about the only downside for me it looks 350D big almost. Which means you are getting alot of case for the money and I know it will be well built. Am I ever going to actually utilize that extra size for a loop tho? I might but more likely I am going to just have AIO's. (just do to time, etc. I have a crazy job with a wife 3 kids 2 of which are nearly 3y/o twins.... I have to pick my projects carefully)

I feel like it's a mITX mini full tower lol
 
The layout should had been inverted so that the GPU goes on the top and receive cool air. There's a review where the GPU was starving for airflow.
 
OK I like the case and decided to give it a try. Looks like it's really well built, I can always make mods to allow the GPU to breath more if needed.
