Pros: I wanted the absolute smallest case possible with a MASSIVE build out. I think the below proves this is it. I mean this thing is like the size of a shoe box and way smaller than the next best option if small is what you want. - Asus Impact Maximus VI mini Itx - Silverstone 450watt gold modular power supply - 4770k overclocked to 4500 mhz - Just added a GTX 970 (So glad I waited. This is the ultimate product for this build. very low power and massive GPU power) - 16gb memory - 2x 250gb Samsung evo in Raid 0 (taped in...) - 1x 2tb Samsung 2.5inch HHD (taped in) - 1x 1tb mSata Samsung Evo 940 I have a Corsair h75 water cooler. I replaced the fans with 2 notchua 120mm in push pull. Other than the GPU fans, these are the only fans in the case. This did require me to remove the slim line Optical housing, but I have not used an optical drive in 3 years so don't miss it. Even overclocked to 4500 at Idle, I run at 34 degrees and 56 at loads. I have had 0 issues with head thus far. I have searched all mini ITX case and in my research, you simply cannot find a smaller case that will hold all the above and run cool. For me the days of big cases is just over.

Cons: no SLI, but since this is a mini ITX case. it was never really in the picture regardless... I did use a blackout marker to cover over the blue power light. Some people dig this but for me it lit up my room at night so was not a fan.

Overall Review: Not sure what the guy is talking about with his bad flow. I honestly think he installed his Power supply backwards. Or perhaps the model with the build in power supply blows air into the case? I installed mine to draws more air out of the case and is perfectly inline with the air blowing in from the 2 Notchua's With Asus Maximus Impact VI and bios. the Notchua's run at only 650rm and are so quite, I often have to double check to make sure it is even on. The New GPU though fixed that issue ;) If you are good at builds, willing to be creative. I promise you this is the absolute smallest case you can get for a massive system.
