A01 Aluminum Mini-ITX HTPC Desktop Computer Chassis (Blue Tempered Glass)

I've used this case to build in twice now; it's exactly what it seems. both times I have had to drill out a slightly larger hole for a larger picoPSU unit as I'm putting some serious components in there - The case has handled these modifications well. Quite a good deal for what you're getting in my opinion. Not a lot of other small cases out there with these aesthetics. Airflow could probably be better, but if you're building a system in a case like this that's dependent on massive air movement, I'm wagering you're already enough of an enthusiast to know that you're in for a challenge.

Summary: cooling is okay-ish so if you want top performance without a lot of noise you'll be needing a noctua cooler for 65W CPUs and above.Item List: • Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING-ITX/AC AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard • CPU: AMD RYZEN 3 3200G 4-Core 3.6 GHz (4.0 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W YD3200C5FHBOX Desktop Processor • CPU Cooler: Stock (need lower profile cooler if mounting 2.5" drive) • Storage: Adata XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 512GB 3D NAND PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 SSD w/ XPG Heatsink (AGAMMIXS11P-512GT-C) • Memory: Team Dark Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Model TDPGD416G3200HC14ADC01 (Requires 24-Pin ATX extension for mini-ITX)picoATX PSU: RGEEK 24Pin 12V DC Input Peak 150W Output Realan Mini ITX Pico PSU DC ATX PC Switch DC-DC (Requires two adapters due to memory clearance) • Power Adapter: COOLM 12V 10A Power Adapter AC 100-240V to DC 12V 10A Power Supply Charger with 5.5mm x 2.5mm DC Plug • Fan: (Optional) Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilent Fan XR-1 60mm Ultra Silent Fan,1600rpm, 3 pin,11 dBAAdditional Adapter: StarTech 8in 24 Pin ATX 2.01 Power Extension Cable - Power extension cable - 24 pin ATX (M) to 24 pin ATX (F) - 7.9 in - ATX24POWEXT (Required for the picoPSU I got) • Additional Adapter: StarTech.com EPS48ADAP 6-Inch 4-Pin to 8-Pin EPS Power Adapter with LP4, F/M (Required since picoPSU lacks the 8-pin connector for Aux power)-----I liked working with this case. It has a decent amount of room to work in so I was able to fit all of the components above. It was tight, and half the stuff is just sitting there with no screws, but it fit!If I wanted to have more air-flow and more clearance for an SSD, I would have used a low profile cooler like the thermaltake engine, or a passive cooler and use that small fan I mentioned earlier to blow air around.There is not enough clearance to mount a 60mm fan vertically. A 50mm fan should fit. I'd have to check to confirm that.-----What I don't like: The mounting screws are pretty crappy. I'm looking at getting some shock absorbing HDD mounting screws and using that for mounting the tempered glass, with the rubber rings between the case and the glass to allow for additional airflow.The instructions are basically non-existent. That's why I wrote this review. There's some things they don't tell you about:1) You need a picoATX power supply that has 8-pin ATX for the AUX power, and 24-pin power, SATA power and fan power. If you are using low-profile memory, you're fine. If not, you'll probably need a 24-pin ATX power extension cable like I did.2) You need an additional power adapter (like a laptop power adapter) with 12V and either the same power rating as the supply or less.3) Requires rubber spacers and longer mounting screws for the tempered glass to allow more air through.4) Will probably require a small fan to provide decent cooling.5) The manual is worthless.So keep that all in mind when deciding whether or not to buy this.
