[@chrishexx3360]

I think you need to create a channel called Optimum Cat too. With your shooting and editing skills, you could make the ultimate cat videos. Jam is absolutely star quality.

[@eddo8762]

This is like my perfect case. I got a ATX case and hardware. But I need it smaller to fit into where I need it to be without needing to be super small. Thickness I found is hardly ever a barrier, whereas height has always been in fitting into places. I really can't believe people didn't think of this earlier. People just look at "tower" and decides their case designs need to be a tower.

[@JHaesthetics]

Great video. The graphics really help explain the layout options. One note: For $50 you can also get a gpu riser cable and bracket for this case from Lian Li.

[@Sonchuo]

You're channel is just top tier. Clearly you show care and high production value into your brand with amazing detail and content. You deserve so much more recognition.

[@myBacau]

Perfect case if it had standard ATX PSU support. HOPE they make a PCMR Mirror version like the original

[@AxR558]

I was going to make the same comment about PSU support, was considering this as a slightly less imposing replacement to my O11D, but I really don't want to add an extra PSU to the cost of moving over from ATX to ITX. I think I'm going to stick to plan A and grab a NR200P now that they offer an ATX PSU bracket 3d print file for it.

[@tommihommi1]

with full ATX PSUs it would just be way too wide.

[@AxR558]

@@tommihommi1 270mm vs 295mm would make such a small amount of difference

[@Shieftain]

@@AxR558 Apparently you don't even need the 3d bracket as it's doable with just a few zip ties.

[@AxR558]

@@Shieftain I had assumed that the zip tie method might well be a thing

[@ziptieracer]

Nice review, but I feel like CPU cooler height should have been talked about. The main advantage you're gaining from that SFX power supply only limitation is that there is increased CPU cooler height. Which means the mini should be able to fit large air cooler towers, like the Noctua nhd15. This is something that wasn't possible in the larger pc-o11. I think that makes this case intriguing for people looking to do strictly aircooled builds.

[@PizzaOMC]

people call this an itx case. i think they should market it as a mini atx case as that what it fits best imo

[@fred_derf]

[edit - referred to a micro ATX case when I meant to use mini ITX] An ITX board will fit in *any* ATX case (or even eATX cases) so referring to a case that will take an ATX case as a -micro ATX- mini ITX case is like referring to a 7 seater minivan as a two-seater sports-van because it's possible to just have two people in it.

@@handlealreadytaken he was literally providing more depth in support of OP's comment, as cleared up in his second response. Do you think an ATX case should be referred to as an ITX case because it's smaller than usual ATX cases? Because you just implied someone's lack of intelligence for advocating against that. Maybe just don't be a dick to people for no reason.

Not exactly the smallest ATX compatible case (there are cases smaller than this, though there's few of them), probably one of the largest ITX cases, but I have to say that its very well space-optimized for ATX and liberating in terms of custom loops on ATX to ITX setups for this level of volume.

[@restcarl83]

Why isn't anybody getting this case? This is the case that tells the world how all computer cases should be about: flexibility! There's always a chasis for this form factor or the other, but there hasn't been any that adapts to either, until this one. What if over time you decide to change your MoBo form factor. I can give you that it only takes SFX/-L PSUs, but you have so many options here, and it looks gorgeous!

great video, however, you can definitely fit a 360 mm radiator on the top with full size mobo with very slight modification. you can offset the radiator closer to the glass as you did in the video, and use extension brackets and zipties to secure.

[@tofu.delivery.]

I was very excited for the case like a year ago, but it just kept getting delayed so i went with the nr200. Very happy with how it came out!

[@curtisbme]

If the tubes could reach to the bottom, it would be more ideal to put the AIO at the back vent so you aren't used warm GPU air to cool it. With the GPU getting fed from the bottom, both get room temp air to cool.
