In Win BP671 mini ITX case with Haswell Ready 200W power supply, 8cm Fan, Black, TAC 2.0, Front USB 2.0X2, HD audio

Pros: - Design. - PSU not over the CPU like a lot of m-ITX case. - Space for a normal 5.25'' drive and two 3.5'' HDD. - Well built no need to force things to have holes line up. - Space for normal heatsink. - Good ventilation path.

Cons: - Cable management isn't easy, but it would be with most other m-ITX case since they are freakishly small! - The front door to the 5.25'' and USB doesn't open smoothly, but that's really not a big problem. You can open it easily without any force but it won't go down by it self after simply pushing the plate.

Overall Review: -CHOOSE NORMAL RAM without heatsink or the 5.25'' drive will not be able to fit since the RAM is under the end of the drive.

Pros: The price. Standard TFX power supply (not proprietary) which makes upgrading an option. Good layout with different configurations possible by flipping the hard drive tray. Accepts full size optical drive and regular desktop hard drives. Good air flow. Minimal front panel looks slick.

Cons: The length quoted by Newegg is not correct. Including the front panel I measure 13.5" long. The 80mm case fan that comes included is loud (see other thoughts).

Overall Review: This case is identical to the BP655 (which I also own), they just changed the front panel. The PSU on my BP655 has been problem free for over a year now. For the price, I don't think the In Win ITX cases can be beat The 80mm fan on my BP655 was much quieter than on this case, so maybe I just got a bad one. Since I used this in a HTPC build where noise levels matter, I left the fan unplugged. It's not a problem for me since I am never pushing that machine to its limits and it stays cool with just the CPU fan running because of the good placement of the vents.

Pros: -Super slim form factor. It stands up next to my PS3 and it looks only slightly bigger -Excellent cooling for onboard system. -Surprisingly good selection for replacement power supplies (check out the seasonics, I bought a seasonic 300W and it fits nicely) -Very light. I originally bought this to make a small mini itx build that could be moved from one room to the other. -Low profile -Very high quality, especially for the price -Front blue LED is bright, but pretty -Good looking; clean, and somewhat fancy with the power LED

Cons: -Fans are loud. Replacing the power supply actually lowered the noise a bit, but the case fan is still somewhat loud. -Poor cooling for pcie video card. If you decided to get a video card, especially one that can decently perform (such as a HD6670 low profile), it may hit load temperatures around 85 degrees to 95 degrees C as mine did with excellent wire management. There isn't enough air space around where the video card sits, and all the heat transfers into the case, making it extremely hot to the touch around that area. See other thoughts.

Overall Review: Running open case resulted in an average drop of 15 degrees on load GPU. I've experimented with mounting a 120mm intake fan on the outside side-panel. I managed to drop the average load temps to around 83-88 degrees C. But, it looked funny having a fan on the outside of the case. Try looking into the slim 120mm fans as anything else may not fit between the side panel and the CPU. Otherwise, this case is very well made, but obviously wasn't aimed at housing a gaming GPU. This was my mistake.

Pros: Solid, clean design and construction. PSU is reliable and quiet. Nice looking with a clean face.

Cons: The case cooling fan is on "top" when used standing on its side. That's not a problem as long as end-users don't lay stuff on top of the case. The cooling fan is also, as expected for this price-range, not top dollar and I'm starting to see "noise" failures (they start grinding loudly) after about 8 to 12 months. Not surprising...no one uses really good fan bearings anymore.

Overall Review: I am now on my 2nd hundred of these and I just hope they keep making them. If they do, I should be past 200 by the end of the year. So far, knock on wood, no PSU failures which REALLY surprised me. First 35 units were deployed 12/2013.

Pros: Power supply. Normally when I buy a case/PS combination, the first thing to go is the included PS. For this build I bought a 300 watt Seasonic, however it arrived a week late so I put the build together with the included PS. To my surprise the included PS is whisper quiet and pretty stable. I will be returning the Seasonic as I no longer need it. This case also accommodates a full sized optical drive (although it is a tight squeeze).

Cons: Nothing worth knocking an egg off. A minor annoyance is the front cover over the USB ports wont close with a wireless keyboard dongle installed.

Overall Review: The build is an A10-7800, Samsung SSD, full size optical drive, which all fit without any problems. I did not connect the case fan, and this still idles under 45 C with the stock heat sink. It is by far the quietest machine I have ever built and I can barely tell it is on.

Pros: +Standard 5-1/4 bay for less expensive Blu-ray and audio drives (compared to slim line). +TFX standard PSU dimension +nice design +front USB, audio, and optical bay +fits PCI-express low-profile cards (but I don't need it since I have an APU)

Cons: Thin cover (convenient for removing, but easier for noise to get through)

Overall Review: I purchased this for a Media PC capable of 1080p video and a surround sound system and have found the design easy to configure. I'm in the process of replacing my noise components with fanless, passive heatsink cooling so listening to music is more pleasant in between tracks and videos. I've fit an A75 FM1 board with an A8-3850 and just bought a Prolimatech PRO-SAM17 low-profile heatsink, which is said to fit this case and cools both my CPU and GPU, as the chip is an APU. I've unplugged and removed the case fan, which is loud and I don't plan on gaming so it shouldn't be an issue including for videos. After I replace my FM1 CPU fan with the passive heatsink, my PSU will be the only moving part in the case making which will be making noise. I expect the PSU fan to make some noise at moderate and low cpu activity, but if it becomes undesirable I will replace it with an external brick PSU adapter (some use around 150-160 watts, which should be enough for my system). I haven't found a fanless TFX PSU (such as those by Seasonic 400-520), but that would be an ideal cornerstone of a performance PC in a smaller factor. I suppose the easiest way to make a silent PC in a small system without compromising performance would be to get a slightly larger ITX or MicroATX chassis that supports ATX PSUs like Lian Li, to have fanless and fast systems, but I've removed most of the noise in my PC, including the HDD, but since I installed my SSD in an even smaller,, other system, my HDD in this one runs at 5900rpm, which is quiet enough.

Pros: Small form factor ideal for mini-PC or HTPC use. Case design is clean and simple and looks nice. Adequate cooling for its size. Spacious enough for 2 internal 3.5" HDD (providing one of them is a slim style). Included power supply seems to be working perfectly so far. Case panels have indents to attach the included rubber feet so it can sit either vertically or horizontally, and looks good either way. Noise isn't too bad at all. I'm sure the fan speed and noise would increase if I stress the system more, but so far it's fine for general HTPC use. Supports adding a low-profile video card or TV tuner.

Cons: Blue power light strip is very bright. No built-in support for 2.5" drives which is rather odd considering this case is designed for low power applications. The front panel will not close fully when using one of those micro USB receivers for wireless keyboards/mice.

Overall Review: The blue power light strip is quite bright and may be distracting. A resistor can be added to the power wires to reduce the brightness, but I found that simply wrapping the front of the blue LED with a small piece of paper towel was perfect to reduce the brightness to a reasonable level and matches the brightness of the HDD activity light perfectly. It's just a matter of removing the front panel (really easy to do), popping out the blue LED, adding the tiny bit of paper towel, and putting everything back together. Be careful when choosing memory with tall heatsinks as they may not fit if using an optical drive depending on motherboard design. This case does not support 2.5" drives, so don't forget to pick up 3.5" to 2.5" drive adapter brackets if you are using a notebook or SSD drive. This case is home to a Celeron G530 using the stock cooler and integrated CPU graphics (via HDMI), 4GB GSkill ECO DDR3 RAM (1.35v), ASRock B75M mini-ITX mobo, 500GB 2.5" notebook HDD, and GMYLE Media Center remote. Runs great as a HTPC in my 4 year-old daughter's room (will be a general-purpose PC as she gets older). Not using an optical drive since I use Media Browser to "stream" DVD iso files from my main media server. Under normal Media Center usage (watching DVD movies, Netflix, etc), CPU temps are around 40 degrees C in a 25 degree C room, so cooling is more than adequate with not much noise from the case or power supply fan.

Pros: Small footprint combined with low energy cost Slim blue line of light to show computer is on No silly blinking light every time my computer uses the CPU (that's getting old, engineers) Flip down access to DVD burner, USB ports, and audio/mic ports Smaller than the VCR/DVD Combo box I used to have

Cons: None

Overall Review: I was really surprised at how quickly I built this, this being only my second homebuilt computer and being radically different from my mid-size tower that holds up to five hard drives and four large DVD drives or the like. This thing sits under my HDTV and with my logitech USB unifying receiver in the front, I leave this thing covered up and nobody ever guesses that I have it running all the shows.
