Considering the size, the case is really well designed. You can even add a rather large graphics card. I use it for a NAS with 4 HDD of 4TB. The only small flaw would be the lack of optimization for the cable management. The only small flaw would be the lack of cable management optimization, but with a case of this size and all the stuff you put in it, it's normal.
Excellent case with an old and proven design. Many good reviews can be found everywhere. Easy to assemble, especially the drives which are suspended from the top of the case to increase exposure to airflow. I don't know if this would be the ideal case for a gaming setup, but for a server or NAS it is ideal. Beware: nothing special is planned for cable routing, better to take a modular power supply.
Hello.
The itx box is of very good quality and meets my expectations.
Thank you very much.

Case chosen for a DIY NAS.
-The assembly is easy and intuitive.
-Very good temperature (10-20°c) with the fans of the case + a passive radiator Artic M1 on an Athlon 5350 ( 25W tdp)
-Good use of space with "suspended" HDDs
-Fits largely in a square shelf of a certain Swedish furniture shop
-Only problem encountered: a single defective screw thread, a detail.
Nice case, very well designed in terms of ventilation, number of fans. These are very quiet (they are always at minimum). Perfect to build a quality server that can be discreet in a living room.
