DIYPC V3plus-R Red Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: -This is a great looking case for many different applications. As other reviews have said you can use it for a classy looking htpc, a budget desktop / linuxbox, or a powerful mini gamer. -The finish on mine came with no flaws although the exhaust mesh by the I/o shield was dented from shipping it bent right back in place. -There is plenty of room in this thing if you plan out what you want to fit in it. I will expand on this in the "other thoughts." - It's a sexy little case

Cons: -Heat can be an issue if you don't plan your build right. - A tiny flaw but the sticker on the back of the case is a pain to get off. - For those that say "can't fit 'x" gfx card..would be great if it could etc etc" this case is tiny and is not meant for that application. - Cable management needs to be well thought out. You don't need modular. Will it help with airflow? Sure maybe 1c-2c but not worth the extra $40-$60 you'll put into it.

Overall Review: Parts: i3 3220 (stock cooler), Asrock H77ITX, EVGA 650ti SSC 2GB, 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600, 120 OCZ Vertex 3, 120 ADATA SSD, 500GB WD Mechanical HDD, Corsair CX 430w Bronze, and a 120mm Scythe at the bottom of the case. I was able to fit 2 ssds, a 500GB HDD, and a 120 mm bottom intake in this case w/ high profiled ram and a non modular PSU. I used some old "feet" off another case that I never used to elevate the case so the bottom fan could suck the cool air from underneath and push it into the 650ti and the help push out the hot air from the stock cooler on the i3 3220. Temps on avg ambient of ~26c CPU / GPU on idle: 45c / 38c (my cores run hot/cold around 8c difference between the two so the avg could be less on a different chip) CPU / GPU gaming on skyrim/bf3: 55c / 68c CPU / GPU encoding: 68c (max) / 40c If I kick the scythe 120mm at the bottom on I get about 3c-5c less on the temps. For more info and pics of the DIY3+ you can search for Jonsbo cases on the web. All the different models are on there and maybe Newegg will get some MORE of them because they look amazing for the minimalist crowd. **Hey Newegg! Can yall add some kind of "preview" button so users that submit reviews can see their whole thought process and the format it will appear on the site? I know this review could be better if I could see the whole picture!***

Pros: Beautiful Clean Design, Material, Fit and finish, mini-itx take Full ATX powersupply.

Cons: Perhaps, Newegg will import the V2 version or the V3 with different color? I found this is manufactured by Jonsbo.com that Newegg intended to hide?

Overall Review: Why I didn't choose Lian Li? 1. This one has no optical drive cut out, makes very clean in design. 2. There is no manufacture name on the front and rounded corner that looks like part of my home entertainment and sound system. ( looks very luxurious. ) 3. Smaller foot print than Lian Li. 4. You can mount the ATX power either way. Bare in mind, this case is not design for your regular desktop system with neon light, neon fan, and LED disco ball. It is also NOT design to use with your super duper gaming rig. It is mainly for those who like to use this in their living room for movie, photo and music, connecting Skype Webcam, Logitech Dinovo mini on their coffee table.

Pros: Very sturdy case, first time buying from this maker. Working on fitting the 550 watt modular supply, A10-6800 and motherboard I took it apart several times. The side and bottom come off with external screws. Never had a problem. First ATX power supply was a little long, the second one I tried fit fine. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/11280270726_c26383d69f.jpg In that photo link you can see how much distance you have for a aftermarket cooler.

Cons: The internal electronics have a cheaper look them but only time will tell. It has a double slot for a video card but remember you length you need the shorter cards for it to work. You have room for 4 / 10mm fans on the back.

Overall Review: I used as 550 watt power supply with a 120mm fan and pointed it toward the motherboard to aid in cooling. You have room for a bigger aftermarket cooler and with a A10-6800K you are going to need it.

Pros: Cool color, small size, USB 3.0 connector

Cons: - difficult assembly due to the tight fit - limited options for components, and size of case reduces options further - Airflow - make sure you purchase 4x40mm fans - no external drive bay (need to purchase an external drive)

Overall Review: If you are looking for mini-itx form factor, this is a great case. Be careful when ordering components. A few helpful measurements: CPU cooling height - 80 mm (the PSU sits right above the CPU, so the more space the better) vid card length - 180 mm (we discovered the EVGA 750Ti, which left plenty of space, or you may want to consider an integrated APU processor and skip the vid card completely) The case fits a full size PSU, but we made the mistake of not ordering a modular supply. Go modular - airflow is an issue, and the giant wad of unused cables takes up lots of case space.

Pros: Very well designed case, very smart compromises. Extremely good looking case as well.

Cons: Sharp edges, actually cut my hands a few times putting this one together. But I didn't deduct a star but they could round them off a little. But I almost deducted 4 stars for an incredibly obnoxious bright white sticker plastered on the back of the case. What an eyesore. It took me a bout 5 minutes to remove completely, it sure was stuck on the case well. If you buy this case make sure you have some 'Goo Gone' or something similar to remove it.

Overall Review: For such a small case it definitely holds more than I thought it would. Looked at buying another Shuttle and looked at buying a small Lian-Li case but I ended up choosing this one as the best of both worlds. Glad I did.

Pros: Looks amazing Brushed aluminum resists fingerprints nice header positions nice heat distribution for an aluminum cube

Cons: None really, if you know what you're getting into with a Mini-ITX build. I used a modular PSU with a GTX 750 that draws its power from the PCI-E slot, which kept my cables to the absolute minimum.

Overall Review: I probably looked at this case for about two months before actually ordering it, as I'm often anxious about placing orders on things like cases that you typically want to get your hands on and look at before the fact. What I found is that with carefully chosen components, this thing is beautiful, stays decently cool and has some power under the hood. The main function of this build was to be a mobile Dota 2 PC that also ran Reason 7 Digital Audio Workstation software. I can throw this case into a duffle bag along with all my peripherals (except my monitor because it's stupid large), drive to whererever I need to go, and be up and running in minutes. It looks good wherever you put it. ] I've yet to run into any heating problems, but if it ever came to it I would probably put a 120mm fan on the bottom of the case blowing up. Due to the compact size of the case, I believe the vent on the back would provide adequate exhaust without putting 4 40mm fans on it like some have talked about. Build: -gigabyte H97N WIFI mobo -intel i5 4570S w/ stock cooler -Corsair CX430M PSU -Crucial M500 240g SSD -2x Crucial Ballistix Sport Very Low Profile DDR3 1600 4g -EVGA geforce GTX 750 Side thought: I don't know if Rosewill owns DIYPC, but this case is an exact copy of their V3-plus Mini-ITX case, just cheaper and in red. Not sure of the purpose of the rebranding.

Pros: Light, simple, well made and cheap. Looks great.

Cons: Edges are somewhat sharp. Corsair PSU's SATA power cables are 90 degree angle. Drives mount flush to the base of the case and there is really no room to bend the power cable. Might need to use SATA extension cable like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400019

Pros: -Small -Big enough if you plan your build right -Sleek -Red.

Cons: -Requires careful planning -USB 3.0 connector was a bit large. Didn't affect my build, but could see how it would get in the way. depends on the motherboard.

Overall Review: Love the case. It's slick, looks original, and is a nice departure from the huge, scary looking cases that most custom Box's are nowadays. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of those larger cases, so keep that in mind. Can also pack a punch, mine's packing an nvidia 760. Someone in the comments said the zotac 660 fits, and i looked into it- turns out the 760 has the same dimensions, but significant better specs. Awesome!
