The ITX Case Everyone* Wanted to Love

[@mutasimrahman6833]

I'm glad that you called this case out for what it is. Many other KZbinrs gave stellar recommendations for this case despite its ridiculous pricepoint.

[@devilmikey00]

Thing is that pretty much every brand charges $200+ for their new ITX cases these days. It fricken sucks the industry decided ITX is the "premium" form factor and if you want it, you better pay up. It wasn't like this 5 years back. Itx cases and boards had a nice range of prices but now it's just expensive or more expensive.

[@hukesama8389]

Yeah I really like the look and build aside from being a little bigger than i like but that the asking price is just ridiculous.

[@hmst5420]

My pretty cheap Dan a4-h2o supports water aio cooling and this chunky case does not.

[@TheTastefulThickness]

You cannot find this level of build quality for less money. I bet you the NCase and fractal arent C&C milled aluminum at this thickness.

[@VICEBBY]

​@@devilmikey00 Bro 5 years ago ITX cases were shit the only good ones were expensive as hell. No ones sterted making decently priced ITX cases untill the NR200.

[@Titor1021]

This just made the Ncase M2 value better. The versatility and quality of that case is top notch that's why it's selling well. Having the option of a Matx board which is cheaper, and AIO support not to mention ATX PSU is such a game changer for something that is cheaper and smaller than this.

[@dvnwllms]

As I've said before I still can't get over Dan's foolishness in running a single shipping container of the C4-SFX. It was perfect.

[@shredmajor700]

The "unboxing concerns" really made me realize how much I appreciate that the M2 is flat packed. No extra waste, no loose screws, some assembly required. Ez pz

[@FlowMichael]

FormdT1 can do 240mm rads and 3.25 slot GPU at 320mm length for $50 less and at half the volume with super high quality machining.

[@JustSomeGuy009]

I'm not up to date on all the SFF cases. Is it a fully ANODIZED CNC aluminum case?

[@julfy_god]

@@JustSomeGuy009 cheapest one has steel side panels. but you can get the case with cnc aluminum side panels. it's a bit more expensive

[@tragedium]

So true. FormD T1 just manages to fit everything in sub-10L volume.

[@eturnltube]

Almost, always out of stock, usually requires custom cables, and all other accessories are extra, but also out of stock. They need some major production management/supply chain help.

[@julfy_god]

@eturnltube custom cables aren't required at all. It's more of a convenience/aesthetic thing than anything

[@exyiaevox]

As someone building out a Terra right now, I made a spreadsheet months ago of all GPU's that would fit to prepare for Black Friday. Well...we know how Black Friday went (wompwomp), but what I did notice is that....there aren't that many GPU's above the 322mm of the Terra anyway. Those that are longer have lower stock, higher prices, and less discounts. So as someone who knows every GPU length right now by memory from making/updating my spreadsheet, I can see WHY this case is the length that it is....but in practice, I just don't think that many people are buying GPU's that big. Then as you pointed out in this review, the extra space kind of highlights oversights. Your comments on the PSU placement are spot on. Not gaining 240 rad support for the extra size is weird. There's just a ton of empty space. I'm not after smallest as possible - I think the Terra could be a lot easier to work in if it was just a little bigger - but this is quite a bit bigger without much benefit. Yeah, you get two bottom fans vs the Terra, but at what cost (in both size and $$$). Kind of repeating what you've highlighted in the review though. Great review. I think they really have to execute on interesting frame and panel customizations, otherwise the high quality construction and frame design doesn't really justify the price when the end product isn't that much better than what else is on offer.

[@genesisfan029]

Spreadsheets of gpu lengths? Not much going on for you huh?

[@hab9514]

I can tell right away you are plannin on an nvidia card, theres very few 7900xt's or 7900xtx's,that fit like 4 if you dont count the weird passive cooled asrock ones, the sapphire pulse and the reference. And since reference is never in stock again its only the pulse.

[@exyiaevox]

@hab9514 There's plenty. Hellhound, Nitro+, Fighter, Pulse, Pure, ASRock non-Taichi, some others. I went with a Hellhound 7900XT. Fits perfectly.

[@exyiaevox]

@@genesisfan029 hardly takes that long. Browse GPUs and write down length. Saved me from hesitating or having to double check fitment whenever a card went on sale for Black Friday. There were hardly any sales this year, and they all sold out quick. Paid off for me - hellhound 7900XT for $620.

[@hab9514]

@@exyiaevox how, im talkimg about the Terra..the hellhound is 338mm, max supported gpu om fractal terra is 322mm x 72mm the nitro is actually 320mm x71.6mm so that would leave .4mm clearance on the thickness, so thats a maybe, ive mention the pulse, the asrock phantom is 330mm in length and the taichi is 340mm... so i have no idea which cards you are talking about or how you fit a 338mm card im a 322mm length without modifications/ deshrouding or some other form of mod

This shape of mini-ITX case is great for fitting into a carry-on suitcase if you intend to travel with it. Reminds me of my Silverstone SG07 that I used when I was doing a lot of flying between college and home.

[@ZenotoXOfficial]

One thing I notice in the videos for these reviews that no one mentions is that gap on the side of the GPU. I see it's for the cables to route to the GPU to the PSU, but... that's kinda the gap that you dont want for an ITX build right? That's a lot of excess space, space that could not be there otherwise. Putting it next to other cases really shows this case is huge, and if Im making an ITX, and paying that much money for ITX, I'd want a REAL ITX enclosure. Idk. If it didnt cost that much, it'd be fine as like a "man im scared, let me get this big asf case first and see how I handle it."

[@Teklien]

The title of this video is EXACTLY how I feel about this case. Let's keep it real ... this is just a larger Fractal Terra minus the wood panel & case color options & that still doesn't offer watercooling options despite the larger size!!! I had such high hopes for this case after it's reveal at Computex. I just got an M2 Grater which is smaller (16L) & offers an insane amount of build options compared to this!

[@TheTastefulThickness]

Watercooling sucks, I aint putting water in my 2,000 PC case.

8:32 - I wonder if there's enough space with the power supply mounting holes to actually flip the bracket - have the flat side along the spine ride against the power supply vs having it come off the edge. That could possibly pull the power supply up from the floor of the case another inch or so.

[@ram100677]

You have the best review of this case out of three KZbinrs. Best pros and cons list. 19 liters and no water cooling support is a HUGE miss tho. It’s like it a bigger Terra (air only) that can fit bigger GPUs, which is kinda pointless rt now but maybe not after CES with 50s series annnounced. I’d rather just get a Terra if I wanted an air only ITX case. Aesthetics is subjective so someone might want this over a Terra. Plus someone could prolly drimel it to make it water optional. 1M is to close to M1 too lol. Personally, I strongly considering a FormD T1 V2.1.

[@TheTastefulThickness]

Waterbois on life support. This case ain't for you leakers.

[@Alp577]

FYI, Ncase M2 does not come with a GPU riser, case feet, and the grater version has no front panel, they give you a cheap power button at the back of the case. You have to pay extra to get all the features. I say this Antec is worth it if you're looking at this kind of case. I'm personlly sticking with A4 H20 and Formd T1, since they're a smaller case. But this case will potentially fit a 5090,

[@rarewhiteape]

Beautiful case, but you GOTTA have radiator support. And I say this as someone who has a 7800X3D wedged into an 11 liter Dan A4-H20 and is using a Thermalright X47 air cooler with fantastic results! I think you don't even need AIOs to get by just fine, but without AIO support you're sunk. So weird that this case is larger but does less. I wish we could take the lovely glorious red and put it in a better case.

[@eturnltube]

Interesting. I thought that case was AIO cooling only. I'll have to look into this. I've had my 7800X3D sitting on a shelf while looking for the perfect air cooled it's case for the past 6 months. Thought this might have been the one :(

[@rarewhiteape]

@@eturnltube The A4-H20 is designed for AIO cooling but it's not compulsory. I put a couple of 120 mm fans in the top to push warm air up and out of the case so it gets HEAPS of ventilation and it's not loud at all. The little air cooler I have does a wonderful job and it's super cheap. One thing that really helps is that the case is small so fresh air doesn't have far to travel to get into the fans. If I was doing serious productivity tasks that actually stress the CPU I'd think twice, but for the average gaming workload it's fine. You do need a very slim cooler to fit inside the case, which is where the design aimed at AIO usage can become an issue, but I saw a lot of recommendations to get the Thermalright X47. When I built it there weren't a whole lot of 240 mm AIOs available for the AM5 socket and people were using the X47 to bridge the gap until availability caught up with demand. But after a year using it I don't think I need a water cooler at all.

[@rarewhiteape]

I just did a quick test run since I am at my computer. Specs are air-cooled 7800X3D + RTX 4070 on a 5120x1440 screen. It's 26C here today according to the weather service and I've got a pedestal fan blowing in the room - no air con! Indiana Jones, walking around the Vatican plaza near the start of the game: CPU temps never went over 76C and GPU temps stayed right between 54C and 56C, framerates hovering around 50-55 fps. MSFS 2024, flying a Cessna 172 from LAX to La Guardia, clear weather: CPU temps spiked to the high 80s when loading the sim but settled down to low 70s in flight, GPU temp again locked to that 54-56C range. Frame rate very similar to Indy in the mid-50 fps range. I use MSI Afterburner and have no fancy fan profiles set up or anything.

[@2dfx]

A lot of comments about not being AIO/watercooling friendly. It's clear by the sidepanels alone that this case is designed for air cooling first. If you're looking to use an AIO, this isn't the case for you. For what it does, it seems to do well stylistically anyway.

I want this for an all-AMD build (that Minisforum board with a laptop 16c/32t CPU plus whatever midrange GPU comes out after Computex) because of the red interior, but why are the fan mounts only on the bottom? And also it seems like you can't flip the frame? I mean if I exhaust downwards when the intakes are on the sides wouldn't more of the warmed air get recycled back into the case after the air bounces off the desk? I'm planning on putting it on a monitor stand (those steel things with feet and perforated panel) because I have my gaming laptop on one and using the space underneath to stow my controller and a desktop charging hub plus my phone and tablet when charging, so I get more space before all the warm air bounches off, but I still think that unless I point a fan at its general direction to move air chances are a good chunk of the exhaust will still get recycled.

Just buy an Ncase M2 and a vertical GPU mount and you can fit pretty much ALL air cooled 4080supers and 4090's on the market and the quality of that case is way better. Edit: Oh, and you'd also be able to fit a 280mm AIO with a top mount.

[@CzarFace6012]

The price is definitely concerning to not have any radiator mounts, but to me, this might be the best looking ITX case out there, maybe outside the silver m2 grater. I respect the innovation, from fractal with the era / terra, but they are weirdly hideous to me. I think if you have come to terms with the price and the cpu cooler limitations this case is 🔥. The 7800/9800 x3d's will easily work with those cpu cooler limitations and if I was looking to build right now and didn't have a case it'd be between this and the m2 grater hands down.

with the price of nanoq, while larger and with worse compatibity i have a looming question : who is the target audience for this case? O_O

[@JourneyStand]

this really gives Lenovo workstation vibes. lol

[@sc0or]

Still DA1 is only a case for a table top. Everything else is a ... meh. Just to compete with an internal volume. The bigger a table is the smaller keyboards and pc cases are. =) PS I wonder why do they prefer giant mouses instead of tiny portable ones?.. No answer

There is clearly easily enough space in there for radiator support, idk why this case is so pretty but so poorly optimised.

Even just 5 years ago ITX cases didn't charge you a ridiculous premium. They were more or less the same price range as mid-towers, some were cheaper and some were more expensive. Now? It feels like every single new ITX case is $200+ and sometimes far FAR more than that. It's understandable from small companies making small batch products but major case makers pumping these out by the tens of thousands? Pure greed. Using the fact that those small batch manufacturers have high prices as an excuse to jack up their prices as well. Despite the fact that these cases require less materials to produce, require less money to ship and the designs are all ripped off from other cases so R&D can't possibly be that high. I bet the margins on these things are great. Sweet little grift they've pulled making ITX the "premium" PC form factor.

What is my man smoking? Lian Li A4-H2O - 170 USD Dan A4-SFX - 150 USD Ncase M2 - 165 USD Fractal Terra - 180 USD

Case makers be like : If not huge chunk atx, ill make stupid expensive itx. There is no one in between. Meanwhile demand for compact matx case grows each year. Yep, they wont listen.. they wont

[@letssuperfuntime]

mATX is where it's at, tbh, less compromise on performance, and way cheaper.

[@riba2233]

There are plenty of cheap matx cases.

[@syriangamer89]

What about Lian Li A3?
