Very practical case for mini-PCs
This case is very well designed and offers plenty of room to build a powerful and transportable configuration. There is room for the fan without being limited to the usual solutions for HTPC cases. I use it as a gaming console PC that can be placed in the living room from time to time. It is quite easy to hide the cables to have something very clean with a good air flow: I put 2 extra flat fans (15mm) in 120 on the floor in addition to the 120 front fan and the extraction. In my case, I had to reduce the voltage to keep the noise level at an acceptable level because this is not a case designed specifically for silence. Beware of the space taken up by the fans mounted on the bottom of the case, if you take 15mm, it limits the thickness of the graphics card to 40mm, leaving a small margin (this is no problem with an RX 6800 in standard AMD 2 slot design).
The transportable aspect with the retractable handle is very well thought out, but it's not a cardboard case and it weighs 3.6 kg when empty (it's still light because it's aluminium).
As the case is new, the front panel is very well equipped with 2 x USB 3.0 and 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C in addition to the audio.
There are 2 flaws to report:
- the edges are quite sharp and can be cutting
- no filters for the bottom ventilation inlet (I use magnetic dust filters)
