This. Though it destroys any chance of future expansion.

They don't have Brixx with AMPs.

? AMP? Why an AMP? He is talking about an APU?

Streacom F1C / F1C Evo (comes in black as well, and both versions also exist without slim optical slot)

WTF... how do you even fit an intel stock cpu cooler in there?

 

Max CPU cooler height: 34mm without 2nd SSD (24mm with 2nd SSD installed)

Either that, or remove the optical bay bracket.

Have you actually built that case or are there any builds out there you can point out? It definitely seems interesting. It's like a DIY nuc except you can actually put a sata ssd instead of msata and you get your choice of motherboard and cpu instead of just getting some ulv mobile cpu.

Yeah I have built in that case, here's a log by someone else on the forum: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/19649-streacom-f1c-evo-build-log-haswell-upgrade-build-finished/?hl=streacom

nice.. I'm a little disjointed by the size of the external PSU though. I was hoping for a more laptop sized power brick.

That one is pretty large because it's 150W. If you're just using an APU system you won't need that much, and it is compatible with any Pico PSU solution, some of which have smaller power bricks and range between 90W and 150W.
