JONSPLUS Z20 BLACK Micro-ATX Computer Case,with Detachable Carrying handle , Mini Size, High-performance Hardware Compatible, Support 240AIO, H160mm Cooler, Black

Pros: 1- perfect size for a good air cooler, itx build, 2- I like how everything locks in place, side panels, handle , it makes moving it around better so nothing comes apart.

Cons: 1- I don't like the air filter on bottom , moving computer around filter will slide and fall out they should of gone with sled feet design were the filter slides in and out between sled feet, 2- it would of been nice to include a side panel mesh so when moving computer around and travel I won't have to worry about glass breaking .

Overall Review: computer is thick but not like nr200p , it's not to small but not to big , it's best to hook up cpu cable first to MB before MB install because it can be hard to reach , I like the case size I recommend .

Most Critical Review

bios update needed

MSI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI AM5 AMD B650 SATA 6Gb/s DDR5 Ryzen 7000 Micro ATX Motherboard
MSI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI AM5 AMD B650 SATA 6Gb/s DDR5 Ryzen 7000 Micro ATX Motherboard

Pros: 11-2-24 everything is working great like it should with bios update , MSI is my FAV . for builds

Cons: at setup nothing worked , graphics card did not work ,got the red and yellow debug lights on ,I was able to get into bios with on board graphics but took a long time only to shut down and back on again , tried installing windows 11 and it failed half way through , I picked Ryzen 9 7900 processor thinking this would work with no problems , than thought I try Bios update and thought it would never work thinking I got a bad motherboard but was wrong

Overall Review: this is a great motherboard ,just thought I put my experience with the board and what parts I used and bios I used , and leave 1 star for the people that look at that first , the processor I used has on board graphics if it didn't oh man this could of gone bad . there is nothing worse than putting a build together and have it not work ... I feel your pain
