Mini-ITX Case Round-Up

[HardOCP News]

Hardware.Info has rounded-up a dozen mini-ITX cases today and put them to the test. The review features cases from Antec, Bitfenix, Fractal Design, Cooler Master Lian Li and more.

Mini-ITX has existed for years now as form factor, but a more recent phenomenon is the appearance of more versatile and capable motherboards in this size. Those make it possible to assemble your own compact computers, if you can find the right chassis of course. More and more Mini-ITX cases are being released for a variety of end users, so Hardware.Info picked out 12 very different ones to get a lay of the land.

Didn't see it in the round-up linked?

Sorry, I may have given the wrong impression. That case is not in the review, but something in the works to be considered if someone is planning a high performance mITX build down the line.

How do you get the case being designed?

You don't, yet. Keep your eye on that thread though - we're planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign soon to get a prototype made. If all goes well, we'll be able to launch a second campaign which will be for the production run, at which point the primary backer reward will be a production model of the case.
