in-Win 150W Mini-ITX Slim Case

Originally bought the Antec isk 110 case. Couldn't get the motherboard in without feeling like it was going to break. Bought this case and was much happier. Motherboard went in easily and was able to use the stock cpu fan. It does touch right up against the case. It's an attractive little case. Used it to build a mini itx for my son to use for school work.One screw on each panel and has a mounting device that gives you several options to mount to a monitor or stand alone. It didn't fit the monitor the way I had planned due to the monitor cable not being flush against the back so that was a design of the monitor. It does fit on the monitor like an "L" shape but thought it looked quite awkward.

I bought two of these for a home theater/server setup. The case is rather space efficient and the included power supply is sufficient for pretty much any processor and drives that fit. It's also completely internal. No external power brick is a big plus! The short Ryzen stock cooler, the Wraith Stealth (that comes with Ryzen APUs like 2200g, 2400g, 3200g etc.) fits when the plastic cover on the cooler is removed. I personally have a Ryzen 5 2400g in one and a Ryzen 5 1600 running headless (no GPU) in the other. The space for an extra 2.5'' SSD is a big plus if you find yourself needing a lot of extra storage, as is the front USB/audio and support for a slimline optical disk drive to complete your HTPC. The value is pretty much unparalleled compared to other cases in this size range and feature support, at $70.Installation is pretty straightforward but the parts and cable routing are a tight fit, especially if you are new to building small PCs. Screwdriver required and you might want some tweezers too. Temperatures are fine, due to the wire mesh panel that gives the CPU cooler a wide-open source of fresh air. Dust buildup on the mesh around the heatsink fan is easily removed with a vacuum. You may find that the power supply is the warmest area of the computer. When it heats up, a small fan starts spinning - this will probably be the largest, most noticeable sound the computer makes (a dull whine). I had the case sitting on a table, with the power supply against the surface, so the fan was completely choked for airflow, and so it compensated for the increased temperature by increasing the fan speed. The thermals and sound drastically improved by turning the case upside down, so that the power supply side faced up. The case would also work well on its back (motherboard facing up); just be mindful of the location of each of the fans, and that there are no immediate obstructions. Anyway, I've been running two computers in each of these cases 24/7 for the past couple months with no issues. It may not win many awards for style but it's a great option for a modest, functional, and compact PC.

Building in the case was a treat , the case it solid and can be mounted on vesa bracket, the system in the case ran cool and never overheated when testing with intel burnin, and prime95, about the only problem I had with the case is the front panel cabling they can be short depending on what motherboard is being used, also the if the motherboard comes with a back panel plate( not built on the MB) it fits loose on the case, but overall the case is solid especially for the price is being sold at including a power supply.

This case is just what I expected from the description and reviews. The materials and build quality do not feel cheap. Inside had plenty of space for all of my components and a bit of cable management. I would remember if this case to anyone looking for an itx Apu computer. Just ensure you know what your getting and you won't be disappointed.
