Transcend 2GB

Pros: Small; doesn't take a lot of power to run. I only need it to run a lightweight OS like FreeNAS, or other Linux OS.

Cons: Wish it had a screw holes, so I could mount it somehow.

Pros: Small case for limited space. Price. Comes with a 120mm fan for liquid cooling.

Cons: None. Good for what I need. Keep in mind that it does not have a bay for optical drives, nor room to fit large video cards.

Overall Review: Very small, so make sure you have good cable management. Don't go crazy and get a 1000W PSU; the most you are likely to use is 450W-650W. Wasted power would build too much heat. Best with SSDs. I bought both cases, but I like this case over the Corsair Obsidian 250D, for its size and price.

Small but powerful hang with the big boys

Pros: Wanted something small, since I had limited space. This little guy packs a mean punch. I like the fact that it has multi-networking ports, if I wanted it to be run as a mini server. Multi-video options is a plus. And plenty of USB 3.0 ports. UEFI ready, of course.

Cons: I wish it had more SATA ports. Only has four.
