A01 Aluminum Mini-ITX HTPC Desktop Computer Chassis (Black Aluminum)

Like this case for use with a Mister FPGA and an ironclad mini-ITX. Nice size and the glass top is a good touch to see the unique device inside.

Super mini ITX case very stylish in brushed aluminium

I wanted to build a small NAS using a spare m-ITX motherboard so took a punt on this because it was the size I was looking for and I liked the colour. It arrived next day, well packaged and on unboxing showed no signs of damage at all. First thing I noticed was its weight was more than I expected. I removed the lid and the hard drive mounting plate and found the whole case to be made of thicker aluminium that I thought it would be giving a solid chunky feel. Fitting the backplate and motherboard to the case was easy with the screws supplied and though I still need to fit a pico PSU and mount the power socket there appears enough room to tidy up the wiring while keeping a good airflow within the case. It wasn't apparent to me how two 2.5 inch SSDs could be fitted to the mounting plate but a quick google indicates that it can be done but only using two screws per drive. It's also worth mentioning that there's not much clearance between the SSD and the stock AMD CPU cooler fan so probably a good idea to keep an eye on the CPU temp during the early days. I gave it four stars as most five star ratings aren't worth reading. Update 90/09/2024. The pico PSU arrived a couple of days after I wrote the above. Within half an hour the NAS was up and running and has been running issue free ever since.

Great case, used for a cheap media pc build to go under the telly. Love the glass top.

Nice looking case for those mini ITX builds that use PICO power supplys. Good quality metal only complaint would be that the USB 3.0 cable is a little long and stiff to organise effectively.

Very good quality value for money save space

Exccelent product, I do really love this case

Been waiting for 10 years form someone to come up with a good looking effective mini ITX case. This is it. I use a SFF power supply external to the case. and lift the glass top up 10 mm to improve heat circulation and permit the wires from the PSU into the case.
