HYTE Revolt 3 Small Form Factor Premium ITX Metal Computer Gaming Case Only, White

This case is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a small footprint build without sacrificing performance. The Revolt 3's clever design eliminates the need for a PCIe riser, which is a huge plus. It also comes with a surprisingly decent PSU, saving you money and hassle. While the compact size does present some challenges, the result is well worth it.My only real gripe was the limited space for top fans. While it's designed for one, I managed to squeeze in two slim fans with some creative maneuvering. It was a bit tricky, so be prepared to get your hands dirty! Similarly, component selection requires careful planning. I ended up going with the ASUS ROG Strix B760-I motherboard (despite my personal dislike of Asus!) which proved to be a perfect fit. Cooling was another consideration, but I successfully installed the be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2, albeit with a slight modification. I swapped the stock fan for two be quiet! Silent Wings Pro 4 140mm fans, one of which I cleverly mounted as a top-mounted CPU fan. This setup keeps my system running cool and quiet. I also had to make a small modification to my GPU cooling by adding some foam to ensure proper separation between intake and exhaust airflow, preventing them from mixing and impacting cooling efficiency.Overall, the Revolt 3 is an excellent case. The small form factor, included PSU, and clever design make it a winner. Just be prepared to put in a little extra effort during the build process, especially when it comes to cooling, fan placement, and potentially some minor GPU adjustments. The end result is a powerful and compact machine that's sure to impress.

Good:-No riser cable needed-Comes with a 700W gold rated power supply with three PCIE 8-pin power connectors-Very sturdy handle, headphone holders on the sides-Side panels come off very easily,-Plenty of space for installing a decent air cooler (if you don't install a side fan)-Support for two 2.5 in drives AND one 3.5 inch drive-3 slot expansion card bracket with room to fit coolers that extend beyond that. HOWEVER, be mindful of your graphics cards height. For demonstration, I included a picture of my graphics card that's in my main PC. Physically, it can fit, but would not be able to close the side panel because the power connectors going to the graphics card interfere.Bad:-The power button is part of an integrated circuit board that also has a drive activity LED built in. The LED light shows through the power button. I didn't know this, nor is it stated anywhere. So I thought the power button was defective.-CPU power connector may not reach the port on your motherboard depending on the motherboard and what CPU cooler you have installed (I did not have this problem, but other have that I've read).-Not really a bad thing for me, but the I/O is all on the bottom of the case. I've had to get a few right angle adapters to take some strain off of cables.-The front USB-C port does NOT plug into the motherboard, but is an EXTENSION cable. Meaning you have to plug this into the motherboards I/O. I had to buy an adapter to use the motherboard port rather than the one on the I/O.-VERY hard to install the motherboard if you are using SATA storage devices, if you have a motherboard with SATA ports that are angled. I have the Asrock Phantom Gaming B550 ITX/AX. The ports must be plugged in PRIOR to installing the motherboard, otherwise you can fit them in the connector for lack of space from the Power supply container. MAJOR oversight from Hyte.Overall, VERY good Mini-ITX case with broad GPU compatibility, and and surprisingly good CPU air cooler compatibility. HIGHLY recommend!

This case is a great competitor to the NZXT H1, at a MUCH more reasonable price point. The included 700W power supply is great, the cables are the perfect length, so cable management is made very easy and organizable. The radiator/fan mounting system that pivots outwards is really handy for quick access to the parts beneath it, however if the tubes on your AIO are a big longer than usual, you might have to sort of shove them in there, which doesn't feel particularly great to do. Lots of room for graphics card, I have a pretty small RTX 2060 that had a lot of room to spare. They somehow managed to fit a whole 3.5" drive bay in this thing, which is super nice. The downward-facing IO was a bit annoying to deal with, but HYTE provides you with a TON of space beneath the case to route cables out to the back. This is a fantastic feature that cases like the SSUPD Meshlicious do not have. Personally I quite like the look of it, but the NZXT H1 definitely wins in the looks department simply for it's square base and glass front panel.The biggest downside to me was simply the size of the thing. While it is considerably smaller than a normal ATX case, it's about the same height and even width as some ATX cases. I wanted an ITX rig that I could fit on my desk, and I found this to take up quite a lot of space. I did ultimately replace the Revolt 3 with the Meshlicious case by SSUPD simply for the size and aesthetics. Compared to that case, however, this one is far more maneuverable and has much better features (and an included power supply!)I highly suggest this case to anyone wanting to dive into the world of ITX, especially at the price of only $170.

Smart design overall. I built two identical AMD setups, one for me and one for my wife. I used a Noctua heatsink with two side fans, and it’s a super tight fit—less than 1/4 inch clearance, but it worked out great. Accessing anything inside requires removing the GPU, and plugging in the top fan felt like playing a game of Operation. The system stays cool while gaming with Noctua fans. The case’s bottom connectors are a bit odd, and the limited front USB ports are a downside, but it’s still a great, challenging build.
