Lacks a bit of airflow for large configurations, but if you've got the budget for a mini itx configuration, by default you won't buy this box.

Can do better
I bought this box on special offer, which is a minimum purchase requirement as I don't think it's worth the official price. First of all, the RGB lighting system is not very useful because you can only integrate NZXT material, and as the fans are noisy and rather expensive, the solution is rather poor. So it's better to take the non-RGB version and make do. The case is not very practical for mounting, there are not many grommets in the slot on the back of the motherboard and it is quite complicated to fix all the cables. Moreover, the passage of cables from the back to the motherboard is both facilitated by numerous exits and made complicated by the thinness of the passages. As a result, it's a constraint, you have to twist the cables to make a clean assembly. The good thing is that for a mini-ITX case, the cooling is very good once it is equipped with 4 fans (installed configuration: B450i motherboard, NZXT 850 Watts Gold power supply, Ryzen 5800x, 32 GB of ram and RTX 3080 Ti Founder).
