I have seen this case in e-shops for quite some time. It was available to buy where I live since the R1 was relased. It is good to see cheap option for ITX because everything decent that is ITX cost arm and leg.

mfw even this case can have double the amount of HDDs than my cheapo no-name ATX case that was like 30€...

 

Man, I wish I went for m-ATX or ITX instead. Starting to move away from bulky stuff and move onto more mobility-friendly options. Too late to change with this budget... (plus are there how many m-ATX / ITX LGA 1155 boards anymore, even second-handed? Would get cheaper to keep the 2600K than move forward...)

oh hello there you...

It's not a bad case for its price, but saying "dust blocking filters" is stating the bleeding obvious. "Yes, I would like this case, but only if it has dust allowing filters, I like my case to be filled with dead skin."

simple solution which i have to do with pretty much every cheap case. get a stanley knife and kill the plastic, happy days. Or tape the filter to a pet, it should help with the hair going everywhere

[TroubleKlef]

i definitely agree with that. I do not understand why manufactures make these itx cases that could easily accommodate an m-atx board. It just does not make any sense. What's the point of buying an itx board if you are not going for a small form factor?

I have the aerocool DS case and I think the filters, front and side airflow is better on the zalman. Shame you can't get matx in. 

 

Oh, the necropotency.

 

My thoughts on this case; nice, though that front is WAY too big for just a puny 120mm fan. That should support a 180mm fan minimum.

[SirSquid]

do you mean fan or rad, are there any itx cases with a 240 rad support in the front. If you mean the fan then i agree, pretty stupid of them, well its £50, it had to have flaws somewhere.

The Bitfenix prodigy has front 240 fan and rad support.

I made no previous post, but hey you tried

 

Also Just realized this threads from ages ago

[BOT Edward]

I will never understand why companies make mITX Cases that are just as big as a smaller-sized ATX form factor (which defeats the whole purpose of mITX IMO).

 

It's basically the same as a prodigy, just with more gimmicks and slightly re-arranged interior...
