I got a new desk to hold my 3 monitors, and it has weird shelves, that are oddly small. They are also wire grate shelves. So I will solve the vertical issue (Which is clearly the fan is being blocked... Put on feet hello) and it will fit my shelve. Use extensions for the IO, and you could put a second rad up there. It presents challenges, but there is solutions to end up with a really neat build imo. For 50, cant go wrong.

I think Dmitri's opening comment about it being a show piece pretty much sums it up. These kinds of cases aren't meant to be easy to use, they are for folks who want to have a little challenge. It being an ITX case is irrelevant because most people these days only use the PCI slot for the video card so anything bigger than ITX is likely not needed. As for the cable issue, I've said it before but reviewers tend to forget than folks who build their PCs aren't usually disconnecting cables once things are set up, especially a show piece like this. If a builder is looking for an easy to work with case, I agree this ain't it but for folks who love RGB and that sick sci-fi look, its a killer.

I bought this on clearance at newegg for $50. After doing a build in it, I can tell why it was on clearance. The mobo rear IO being inside the case really irks me. Not being able to mount AIO into the 2 140mm spot irks me. The AIO tubes barely (with some bending stress) fit next to the mobo rear IO when you mount AIO to the "back". The case looks great... the brushed anodized aluminum, the front panel, the glass... such a beautiful case but the functionality of the design is so far off the mark. Just a few tweaks and it would be a huge winner but it comes up so short. Especially anytime you have to plug something into the rear mobo io... its so fn annoying. Trashing the case for a Cooler Master NR200P max. Seems better thought out.

Honestly, while I admit this "Mini-ITX" case is quite large (for a Mini-IRX case), the ONLY real problem is the connectivity issue (which is worse for those seeing the case in the horizontal position). Had Asus thought about this (obviously, they didn't), there could have been a super-simple solution. Bessie I get into that 'solution', know, in advance, that a few design changes would have been required. In-short, the 'solution' would have been to design the case similar to how Corsair designed their "One" case. First, the ONLY option would have been vertical, which I'll explain. Looking at the Corsair One case, although the motherboards are mounted with the back panel facing up, there's still a panel on the back. Why? Because Corsair was smart enough to design a "daughter panel", which duplicates all the primary connections, placing them on the back. It's (incredibly) sad to know that Asus was 'dumb', as this should have been OBVIOUS. So, why vertical only? This would have to do with the design changes I mentioned earlier. If horizontal, if placing the 'daughter panel' on the back, this would completely eliminate the use of exhaust fans. Also, is wouldn't be possible to place the 'daughter panel' on the bottom, unless taller get were used (although, honestly, that could still have been a possibility). Rotating the case to a smarter/better virtual orientation, you can still have 2x120mm exhaust fans at the top, as well as 1x120mm intake fan art the bottom. As for the back panel, and where to place the 'daughter panel', I see two possibilities. The first would be horizontally, along the top of the back panel, as this would allow the 2x120mm/1x240mm fan/radiator mounts to remain. The second option would have been to have the PSU rotated 90 degree, and then place the 'daughter panel' vertically, among the bottom of the back, next to the PSU. As I'm uncertain an ATX PSU would have still fit, the simple solution to that would be to only have an SFX PSU mount. There...problem solved. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an "idea" email to send to Asus. Maybe the Z11 v2 will be my design.

If this case has an optimized internal and has the hardware support it should for this size it could help to justify this huge price tag. I don't see any point to use this case over an ATX case at the same price level.

Can you talk about positives/negatives if it was lying down like it's being used under a TV?

Even the Evolv Shift looks better for the size. For ITX, I'm still in love with he Dan A4, for something a little bigger, the NCase N1 still the best.

I wonder how long before the pump starts to get loud, they should have made it with the rad up top and motherboard horizontal to fix the I/O and pump above the rad issue

Why is you're pump at the top of the loop ? Isn't that orientation bad ?
