Linus should review that case and this new one, because it absolutely stomps the other mini itx cases in it's price class. The case literally looks like a audio speaker without a LED so it looks really good in a entertainment center. The thumbscrews could have been a little better quality but that is the only complaint I could really give. I just left it on top due to the 970 needing air on the vented side and temps were great. You can also change the 4 sides and put the clear panel on any side you want. The 200mm front fan was not noisy at all. Evo 212 is too big but one a little shorter would fit. You can also fit a BIG air cpu cooler in there to OC a K. You could fit a bigger card in there, but since I was just using stock cooling on the I5 and GPU I just went mini itx on the 970. Took maybe 15 minutes to build and was as easy as building a desktop. Some pics and at bottom of thread it sitting in an entertainment center. Also the PSU is on the bottom which means you can use air cooling (even stock). Also the traditional HD racks weren't on the GPU side which makes no sense to me on some other small cases. All the sides come off, including the bottom, which makes building in it and cable management EXTREMELY easy. Literally the best mini itx I have ever used. I picked up the mini itx for like 37.99 with a rebate and just used that case in my sisters build. Well if the ATX version is as good as the mini itx version (and it looks the same) I would definitely get it.
