AMAZING mATX Cases are Back!

[@dracer35]

I love M-ATX. Never understood why it gets neglected so much. This case looks pretty decent.

[@achannelhasnoname5182]

I can tell you the reason. The size difference between ATX and mATX mainboards is very small. So this could have been an ATX compatible case if it was just a few cm higher.

[@fran2911]

@@achannelhasnoname5182 The size difference between ATX and mATX is the same as mATX and ITX thought, so you can make the same argument

[@dracer35]

@@achannelhasnoname5182 I'm well aware. I have built many ATX, mATX, and ITX systems. I still believe there's no one size fits all. Different people like different builds. For some, they want smaller than ATX even if it's only slightly but need more IO than what's on an ITX board. Or for others they don't need everything that's on an ATX board so if they can get an mATX board for $20-30 cheaper, they are super happy. More options is better. Last thing we want it to be forced into only having one size.

[@SamLoki]

@@achannelhasnoname5182 My o11 air mini absolutely supports ATX, but I need to go mATX (which I prefer anyway) to have a top mounted AIO along with bottom fans for the GPU. overall the case looks much more filled this way

[@kaspervendler1726]

Its amazing, I did 2 builds for cusins in it each with artic 360 AIO and atx PSU. Its also possible to fit a third 120mm fan in the bottom intake, but it definently needs a fan gril for it to be sensible.

[@SmokeBloody]

I got this case a couple of months ago. I spent so much time choosing the most practical case and I am pretty happy with my choice! Things that I love: - No tools needed to remove the outer plates. - No stupid RGB lighting - No unpractical glass doors that add weight but are just to show off your RGB lighting - Mesh plates that help to ventilate the case - It's long enough to fit a full-sized GPU (Zotac RTX 3080 in my case) - USB-C port on the fron panel - Quite lightweight - The price is pretty reasonable (Cost me about $80 USD) Things that I didn't like (because of the mesh walls): - The walls get dusty quite fast - The noise level is probably higher than with more enclosed cases.

[@conprika540]

I gonna buy this case,can I ask you do you see any problems of this case ?

[@HondoJarrus]

@@conprika540 It's an amazing case but the front I/O USB cable is pretty thick. I had to get a right-angle adapter for the USB header on my Aorus B550 Pro-P motherboard otherwise the cable kept interfering with the fans on the GPU. Dust could also be be a problem long term depending on your environment; it might need get the dust blown out regularly. That said, it's gorgeous, it fits my Sapphire Nitro 6700XT no problem, and everything stays really cool. Great case.

[@yeahfelix]

holy crap i have the exact same gpu and am planning to do a m-atx build for the first time! the aesthetics that come with this case are so pleasing and the fact that you could just carry the pc through your house is cool. its also not obnoxiously big and, as you said, not an rgb explosion.

[@SmokeBloody]

@@conprika540 Sorry for the late reply. The only small downside for me was that cable management is something you'll have to spend your time on in this case. Also, not exactly a con but I added 2x140mm and 2x120mm fans but they lowered the temperature only by a couple degrees Celsius, probably because the mesh walls are doing a good job at ventilating the case already.

[@YoukoZuki]

One more reason: there is a glass-side variant of this case too. Still have all of other sides being mesh so still ventilate enough :D

[@CastIronEric]

mATX.. the forgotten middle child.

[@Medsas]

speak for yourself, all my friends built matx…

[@CastIronEric]

ITX outshined it due to the fact that if you are building mATX, it's because you're looking to build something minimal and for a while, ITX didn't offer full feature sets. However, now those boards do and have for quite a while.

[@BenyaminLorit]

In the western market perhaps. In Asia, it never left.

[@1ncandescence737]

I agree, I searched for so long but still didn't find a good matx case. There are very few choices when it comes to parts compatible with itx cases and they are all much more expensive.

[@aerosw1ft]

@@BenyaminLorit mainly because it's cheaper than ATX.

[@ArneMandell]

Using four $0.02 nylon washers as standoffs usually solves fan noise - I started doing this on all my builds as it also helps to isolate NVH.

[@elmalloc]

ok

[@mohd5rose]

What is NVH?

[@mk3030]

Noise vibration harshness

[@p.e.r.c.y]

It can help but a lot of the issue come from having the fan blades too close to the mesh. A spacer would be the best bet to quieten them down.

[@alexanderpopov3587]

Thank you for the great review, this seems a nice case. The water cooling right on top of the PSU gives me anxiety though.

[@locolama]

Bought it last year, it replaced my previous Define Mini C TG and the GPU temps are so much better. Build quality is top notch. Even fits a 280mm Liquid Freezer II leaving the psu in the highest position with plenty of space in the bottom for cabling and ssd's. To reduce noise from the bottom intake fans I used noctua spacers to distance my a12x25 a bit from the mesh.

[@MrEstarion]

Man, I've never knows this is a thing. Was it a noticeable difference? My Silent Wings Pro 4 suddenly sound much worse at 80% than 70%, so I wonder if these could help.

[@stephenn504]

Finally this case is getting some good coverage. By far my favorite case I’ve used. Glad to see hc review this. Retail is $75 usd but I never see if for that price. I have the black and white versions and couldn’t find a issue other than limited cable management behind mobo tray. I’m t fits my xfx 7900xtx without issue as well. Great work!

[@sql64]

did u add any extra fans and how are the temps and dust

[@stephenn504]

@@sql64 removed stock prime fan and put 3x120mm and 2x140nm fans in. Temps have been great. Use a nzxt t120 on a 5800x3d and temps hit 72c gaming and 80c all core. Must be from the airflow from all sides of the case. I can’t recommend this case enough, dust doesn’t seem to be an issue but I use a blower on it every few weeks because I have one for building pcs. You won’t be disappointed with the case but I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for it imo

[@anglo-dutchsausage344]

I saw this case last year and knew I had to have it, so I bought it. It's absolutely gorgeous. It looks very unique with some RGB in it as the square mesh creates a pixelated effect. I love how my GPU seems to almost fill up the bottom of the case, while not being suffocated at all. I saw someone on reddit who managed to get an extra 120mm fan on the bottom and even one in the front using the rubber anti-vibration mounts. They kind of fit through the mesh of the bottom panel and inner front panel. I did the same so I have 8 fans (4 in, 4 out). I do have a small form factor PSU which helps with the front fan, and you will lose your option to place an SSD there. Also I turned the PSU so it takes in air from the front instead of from the inside of the case. My el-cheapo Artic p12 fans are quiet in this case, but you do hear air flow, but also I don't hear it because I game with my headset on.

[@keiz_]

I'm so happy that more mATX cases are coming out. I love the smaller size of mATX, but ITX tends to costs as much if not more, and you lose a lot more IO, and I use up all my USB ports. Was needing to get a smaller case for a family member's computer, and wasn't wanting to have to buy them all new parts for an ITX build, so will definitely check this out.

[@vailpcs4040]

I have one on my bench right now and I've successfully been able to invert the layout by drilling out the 15 rivets holding the rear panel and mobo tray. I had to trim a little bit of material off the rear panel to allow the rivets to align with the top of the case, as well as trimming the motherboard tray lip to accommodate the side panel press-mounts, but it actually works and I'm working on installing dual 360 rads in a custom loop. I was able to re-rivet the case back together and it's hard to tell that it didn't come that way. It's ridiculous how much fits in this case and I love it. Note: Jonsbo sells a variant (D31 Mesh) with a built-in monitor too!

[@zephyr.r]

Literally just got done doing a Ryzen 7000/nVidia 4090 build in this case. It's fantastic for having a smaller footprint build without having a smashed shoebox feeling like some ITX builds. I'm very happy with it.

[@AssassinKID]

Love mATX, got Kolink Citadel Mesh RGB for both myself and my cousin. Compact, cheap ($55), front and top mesh, tempered glass door that can swing open for a quick clean, and include 3 RGB fans, clean and easy cable management as well.

[@LetsChill..]

I just did a build in the same case with the new noctua nh-d15 gen 2, I put two 140mm noctua fans in the top to exhaust, a noctua 120mm on the rear for exhaust and I used a pci bracket to connect three noctua 120mm fans on the bottom for intake so they are not resting on the bottom of the case and by using this the gpu temps went down about 5 degrees. the whole system runs really cool and quiet.

[@pizzablender]

Nice case, we need more of these. Like the IM-1 pocket (IM-01 SAMA, Tecware Fusion) thi sis a nice case as well for small powerful systems.

[@Dee0426]

I love matx! I went with the Fractal Define C. I build a pc for a clients podcast and decided to go matx. So many features! Boards with wifi are surprisingly hard to come by but they are priced way better than atx. I went with a 12700k for fast video editing (thanks to QuickSync) 1660 super for nvenc and an Elgato cam link pro to push all the dslrs into OBS

[@chandlerm2571]

I just did my latest 13th gen build in this case. I completely agree with everything youve said, this case is flying under the radar, especially at the 75 bucks I picked it up at

[@TheShortStory]

An absolute steal. I can’t imagine a case being easier to build in. And it looks so nice

[@DigitalJedi]

Out of curiosity, what PSU do you have and how long is your GPU. I'm trying (and failing) to wrap my head around the fitting situation there.

[@TheSlowpC]

Will always build with Matx whenever possible. Love my current setup and will continue this as long as I can. Might check this case out

[@UnTwoOne]

I have this case. It’s nice in terms of what you can put there. Building inside it is easy and fun. The only dust filter you get is in the bottom, so if you have a cat (like I do) be prepared to vacuum clean it at least once a week. However, case is great

[@ELCrisler]

Another, similarly, prices case to look at in the mATX range is the Sama IM01 and IM02. They are basically larger NR200 cases in styling but they bring what is great about the NR200 to a MATX with no need for modding.

[@blakuntang]

Got this last month as my first build. Been smiling everyday ever since!

[@sakomeow]

Re-cased my build into this since I wasn't really using the extra stuff ATX gets me. I was trying to specifically avoid any glass at all. I love how RGB stuff looks peeking through the mesh.

[@Emil_m]

Thanks for the noise demo of the bottom fan option! I think many reviewers neglect to mention the noise aspect of the cases, which is very important for many people who need to keep those levels down to absolute minimum.

[@speckmitei2229]

I love m-ATX because you can get a new b450 for >55€ without effort while still being „small form factor“. ITX is a budget killer

[@FutureKLX300SMowner]

Matx has always been my favourite, boards are cheap, compact enough, they’re just the happy medium!

[@SensuAudica]

More ❤for mATX. For some reason it's the least released form factor, but the best imo. Compact yet 4 dimm slots. Always liked it the most. ATX is uneccessarly big and itx is to limited. Nice to see the power cord connector in the back being vertical, on NR200 its not, which ruins some fan/radiator configs.

[@yanyan0824]

Been using this case for 5 months now and this is the best case I ever had in a matx category

[@Dr_cHeNGo]

I‘m owning this case and I do have a really clean and powerful and quiet!!! build! This case is like the one with the perfect airflow optaining case. I have 2 120mm arctic 15mm height fans at the bottom and 2 arctic 140mm 25mm fans at the top plus 1 120mm arctic fan at the rear. I love it

[@avonire]

totally wish NZXT made a mATX Case. The more compact form factor would fit so well with their minimalistic and clean designs

H400. I have one. Passed it down to my brother. I'm buying this instead.

[@Time-Travelling-Lesbian]

Im using this case for my 4090 / 13700k build. And I love how compact it is

[@4kpoison784]

[@DigitalJedi]

how long is your GPU?

[@LifeIsButaBluff]

Jonsbo D31 looks very similar but with a display on front panel.

[@MrGeforcerFX]

i have pretty much always been a matx person, don't want a giant tower. Just moved my main rig into a fractal define 7 mini and i absolutely love it. The best front IO available on a matx case as well as nice sound reduction keeps the system whisper quiet and my pretty basic hardware is still nice and chill inside.

[@cdogdeluxe6037]

Love this case. I just built my first pc and it looks great. My 3080ti fits perfectly and with all the fans installed, the space feels nice and full. My only issue is that the cable management doesn’t seem ideal.

[@GuyX2013]

I got the black TG version. Its hella nice. I was able to stuff it with two T30 phantek fans , 3 arctic P12 fans, ROG AIO and b760 I mb , 13900k bracketed and a msi trio 4090 . With the glass closed the GPU hits 60ish max temps and cpu does 70ish max temps after hrs of CyberPunk at ultra settings. Its a great case with plenty of airflow and space but you MUST use a SFF power supply if youre going to run a 4090 or other card of similar size.

[@covert0overt_810]

wow... this is only 1 of 2 tech channels i still follow... (thumbs up)

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

I like mATX. It sacrifices some features, but still has plenty. Personally I'd love something weird that sits between matx and itx. Like all 4 ram slots, use a riser for the GPU and put it behind the mobo, and still fit a few low profile 1x or 4x cards.

[@MrEstarion]

ASUS AP201 is godlike. My 331mm 4090 fits perfectly with the middle PSU position, and the temps are similar to bequiet 500DX. I'm sure I can get them lower with a more aggressive bottom fan curve. AIO compatibility is better as well, even if Arctic's thick radiator makes me route the back fan perpendicular to PCI-E slots. Note that most new mATX boards have an M.2 slot above the x16 slot for GPU. It will be challenging to fit anything under a 3+ slot GPU with such layout, as the GPU effectively starts at the case's second slot. You can see the nano clearance that Kleo Yan has with a 2.5 slot GPU and Phanteks T30 fans when using an M.2 above x16 motherboard in this case. For AM5, the options where the x16 slot aligns with the case's first slot are: 1) ASROCK B650M PG Riptide (barebones) 2) ASUS PRIME B650M-A II (barebones) 3) Any GIGABYTE board (numerous coil whine reports) 4) ASUS X670E Crosshair ($600) 5) ITX boards The rule of thumb: if the middle mounting screws align with the x16 slot, then this is a motherboard with better GPU clearance (and inferior air cooler clearance)

[@kaijuTIVI]

Which Arctic AIO are you using? And which side is it mounted?

[@MrEstarion]

@@kaijuTIVI I'm using 280, and top is the only possible placement in this case. With my ITX board, the top corner at the back toward the right panel is extremely stuffed even with tubes coming from the "front" end of the radiator. One of the AIO fans is pressing on the CPU cable to the point that I didn't use the radiator/fan screw there. Routing the back fan cable there would have been too much. I made it go perpendicular to PCI-E slots and into the nearest bottom cable hole to connect into a fan splitter along the outer wall of the right side panel.

[@NIVO1972]

Love the case. I would use a hole saw to cut the floor out from under the fans on the bottom. It leaves enough surround to still attach the screws. Plus that bottom filter still works for dust as you are going intake down there. Also you eliminate that whine and improve airflow. Easy mod!

[@sparda4glol]

I just picked up this case from Micro and was wondering why no one was talking about, Holds everything my torrent did with a small bump in temps. Amazing case. Have not been this impressed in a while.

[@ajacks1974]

I bought a Corsair Air 240 5 years ago for £40 from OcUK Members Market. Loved it so much, I found and bought a 2nd one for my step-daughter a year later (now handed down to my son). Both are still being used , don't really see any point in changing as it's still great mATX case

[@SephirothVG]

I just built this case for someone. It easily fit a ATX PSU, mATX motherboard, 280mm AIO, 2x120mm fans, 2x 3.5inch HDDS and two 2.5inch SSDs along with a 6800XT. No problem at all :)

[@ToxicChillz]

I actually really like the design and the glow of the Lit components through the mesh in the dark, its definitely a nice understated touch.

[@grizzleebair]

I love mATX. It was my go to until everything seemed to go ITX or ATX with the odd eATX. I am glad it is back. I even have a decent mATX MoBo in mind. My next build, but my current one still has a lot of useful life left. Thanks for the vid!

[@aydantryon8253]

Another (really similar) case to consider would be the D31 from Jonsbo! The PSU shroud is a lot easier to remove than the AP201, with the case itself being extremely similar in terms of layout and design aside from the side panel being glass and not mesh. Also, for those who are looking for sensor panels, there is an option for a panel that attaches directly to the front of the case, and can be removed for external use as well.

just built a pc for my living room in this case with parts of facebook marketplace, for my first micro atx build it was a dream to build in, my 2060 super runs at 60c or lower and the processer never hits above 50c on a stock cooler, such a great value

[@marcin_karwinski]

Two things missing from this review and case itself. For one, all of these holes should have been covered by dust filters to reduce its accumulation inside. And second, while you can move PSU bracket, if I recall correctly, you are limited by power cable flex when with 360 rad in the top, eg. you cannot orient the PSU intake towards the front on majority of PSUs, and moving lower would cut on GPU length support.

[@mrmrmrcaf7801]

I bought this case last year on Black Friday when I built my PC, I have a 5800x3d and 6950 xt in there and the temps are very good. I like it a lot!

[@vespaman101]

mATX is my favorite and imo best firm factor. Modern PC's don't need to be so giant. It doesn't add any real value after a certain size. Matx gives u extra pcie slots, more space for ram slots, more space for good VRM's, and space for I/O on the back of the board. Perfect size to be compact without missing power.

[@bulletproof8019]

It was about time you noticed it. has been a staple for MATX builders for a long time especially since GPU got stupidly bigger and cpus got hotter.

[@jceeejc]

4:18 The mounting supply bracket they should sell a sfx bracket but what I winded up doing was used my old nr200 sfx psu case to create more space for gpu and aio. It’s not a perfect fit so the latches on the nr200 psu cage needs to be warped slightly to fit in. But this enables 360 aio and a 40 series gpus to fit.

[@lendldumadag]

I am still rocking my Fractal Define Mini C with current specs. I just love the form factor if mAtx. Not too big, fills up the entire case with peripherals and 4 ram sticks.

[@convergencev]

It is very much like SKTC 200. I got it two years ago amd still love this case. The only issue is adding those 3.5-inch SATA drives. can put it under GPU, but that isn't very good for cooling.

[@m.a.8736]

Information from an owner: you can fit one 3.5 and 2 2.5 hdd to this case while using 2 bottom fans.

[@Ruiso7]

When the modern GPUs are going for 3 - 4 slots that are over 350mm long, most Itx cases are pointles... it also has the advantage of a 360mm rad and full ATX PSU

[@jackthemac132]

I love everything about this case, especially the mash, no window, and gpu clearance, but the psu blocking the intake is a deal breaker for me

[@LordPaulusCobris]

I only use M-ATX for years now... for me the best size for computers at the moment... Also one of the best cases and not very loved is the TT Core V21... cheap and amazing for all around build.... Horizontal Board placement is the best for air cooling... Not so much tension on the air coolers and even for the gpu the vertical stand is way more stable and secure... It allows 1x200mm, 2x140 or 2x120 on the front, 1x140 on the back, and then on top you can get 2x120 + 2x140. Cons of that case... cheap built panels (mesh, or acrilic)... Not enough mesh filters (but it can be purchased from demciflex) only usb 3.0 ports on the sides. Go ahead purchase one and test it out...

[@ameliabuns4058]

I really wish you put both of them next to each other to see how much space you're saving with itx!

[@MichaelBertolino]

This case bests or ties with the Lian Li Lancool III and Fractal Torrent in terms of temperatures, when you pack it to the brim with fans. ASUS only gave you one fan, because they knew people would buy their own. I bought this right when it came to the US in September, 2022 and have loved it ever since!

[@Antopc2]

btw the spacing for the sqare mesh is inline with the bolt pattern of 120mm fans so you can fit 3 120mm at the bottom and 1 120mm fan under the psu if you use a sfx psu.

[@fdjw88]

Will you guys do a comparison video between the Asus Prime and the Jonsbo D31? These two cases are very similar to one another, and they have a similar price point, it would be interesting to see some professional opinions. Thanks!

[@blarghmcblarghson1903]

I have a SAMA IM-01 and its main flaw is they didn't offset the bottom fan mounts, so the USB and front panel headers of a mATX mobo conflict with any non-slim fans mounted down there; the AP201 looks like it solves that, but at the expense of giving up the side fan/radiator bracket and flexible PSU cage (SAMA IM-01 is just a mATX clone of the NR200P, so it has the same PSU cage that can be mounted at the front or on the side).

[@unclerubo]

If I had to guess I would say this case's OEM is CoolerMaster. So many things about it are just like my NR200P.

[@Axeiaa]

This is the form factor everyone should get tbh unless they have a purpose for the additional PCI-E slots on ATX. Motherboards are cheaper, cases are cheaper, it has plenty of features for 99% of people and it saves space. Quite happy with my Cooler Master NR400 but if this case was out at the time I was shopping for a case it would have been a contender for sure.

[@lilswacky1929]

We have the same pc case. But one thing I find anyoing about it, is that cpu cable is hard to route.

[@eudaimonia9386]

I'm packing this case wtih a Galax 4090 SG. I have about 3cm width and 2cm length to spare. My PSU is hiked to the top and the PSU length allows the GPU to tuck underneath. PSU is a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1200W. I had to modify the 12+4 GPU connector by removing the glued heat shrink around the GPU side connector. It was too rigid and it wouldn't allow me to put the case side back on. I re-wrapped it with some electrical tape but at 90 deg. I went with this case because mATX is the smallest form factor to support 128gb ram, needed for modelling.

[@RobertDemery]

I have two fans on the bottom with no noise. I do have to admit they are Noctua fans with the rubberish vibration pads. It is virtually silent.

[@cinnabarsin4288]

Love this case and built my new desktop and HTPC in it this year. Wanted something I could run air cooled almost silently with half the cost and pain of ITX. There's definitely things to consider for air cooling (intake CPU from the rear without a rear fan, and do a bottom to top exhaust flow personally), and PSU size is super important (get a 140-160mm in length max to make your life easier, 180 fits but it's going to take a lot more bundling and smushing) but it's easy to work with overall. Noctua Redux fans have been great for this too, found them to have less noticeable motor noise than the slightly cheaper fans I had installed originally.

[@Michael-pf1in]

I was thinking redux this thing out. Tower cooler and all six fans.

[@cinnabarsin4288]

@@Michael-pf1in In my desktop I've got 2 NF-P12 on the bottom and 2 on the DeepCool AK620 cooling a 13700K (added the sold separate rubber pads to the cooler fans), and in the top I have 2 NF-S12B and 1 NF-P14S over the PSU. Went airflow focused fans in the top since there's nothing they would really have to deal with resistance wise and the 140MM over the PSU and CPU exhaust gets that heat out of the case like nothing. Have the bottom fans at like 35% fixed, top fans at around 45% fixed, and CPU cooler on a curve. About two feet off to my right on my desk and I can't hear it until it gets under load and then it's mainly the GPU fans anyway. I'm super happy with the Redux performance and being around half the price for like 80%+ of the current gen Noctua performance.

cool case, great review

[@SW-lw6mt]

Moved my itx build to this case few weeks ago and it's great, squishing things into a small case was just too stressful.

[@zergslayer69]

Nice looking case but my biggest issue is lack of dust filters on the sides, may as well just leave them off since dust will easily get inside

[@johnreese9928]

If you set your fans up for positive or neutral pressure than dust should not be an issue. You can fit three fans or a 360 rad in the bottom.

@@johnreese9928 could you elaborate?

I am thinking to go from ATX to mATX because this case seems to help the transition much more than most cases, I have a very expensive Power supply and that alone helps me decide on this because I can keep it.

I got a Jonsbo D31 with screen. It's pretty much this case but slight modified. Highly recommended

[@kanadetakami]

A M-ATX case I love (and have!) is the Fractal Pop Mini Air! Small but still very spacious for cable management and hard drives, also includes 2 5 1/4 bays!

i got a similar case, OEM (nzxt flow look alike with full mesh front), has pull tab side glass too, very nice. its super light too. fits 360 on the front too, though i went with 2x140mm for aesthetic reasons

Great video man, thanks to this I've decided to get this case.

Was wondering when you guys were going to bring this brilliant matx case for review. It's just dope. I'm waiting for the release of Dan cases a3 matx and choose between the two depending on price.

[@ivonakis]

Ordered mine 2 days before he review. Glad it is doing ok in the thermals. And hope it is not hard to cable manage. Do anyone has suggestions on additional fans - I will be air cooling

[@TheCashtello]

The AP201 actually has a TG version. I own one. It just isn't available in the US yet.

[@mortagom]

Looks like a rebranded Jonsbo D-31 (Which does have a TG Version) Still a nice-looking case, I was looking at the Jonsbo D-31 that has a built-in monitor on the front which is removable. Keep up the great work.

[@genx156]

I like my GAMEMAX BRUFEN C1 - it comes with 4 fans (they're ok too) and it has another larger fan on the side behind the motherboard - keeps the rear of the motherboard cool, great for rear mounted Nvme SSD's 😁😁 My only complaint is I cant mount my 240 AIO up top because of clearance issues with the Motherboard being mounted high up.

[@SchroederLPs]

It got released with tempered glass now!

[@boonedawg1506]

I do wish the side panel was clear and like you said, the front have access for power supply switch. Other than that, it looks like a great case!

[@jeremysharpe7890]

Can you not have the shroud over the psu with a 360mm rad installed?

[@greensleeves8095]

I really want to build a passive PC with the 5700g or 5600g in that case. It's big enough to fit the NH-P1 and you can get a normal 4 quad RAM sticks for dual rank functionality.

[@capipj]

This case but vertical. Ideal matx case for me. Perfect natural convection airflow.
