pretty satisfied with the result
by Joseph Chubought this from canada, and it took a mere 3 days to arrive (though shipping was 33 euros)pros:- case feels incredibly sturdy, heavy, and quality. - power button is recessed and the light is comfortably small- large rgb fan is very quiet even at max rpm- filtered bottom vent- my gpu (asus tuf 1660) fits!- at 160*242*218 (without the handle or feet), this thing is 8.5L which is pretty hekkin small. - managed to throw in a 3.5" hard drivecons- impossible to wire manage (it is a super small form factor case) - gpu baaarely fit. had to remove the drive bay and RAM sticks to maneuver it in. - drive bay can't get in after the motherboard and long gpu are in. - fan is 3-pin, and I can't find any way to set the rgb color. it continuously softly cycles through all colors, so it's not so bad, though. - with the psu and wires in the way, the rgb fan hardly lights anything up. still looks alright, though. - RGB RAM sticks would be basically invisible behind the PSU cables. - thermals haven't been great, but I'm using the stock intel cooler which is fighting against the PSU fan. will switch to a noctua l9x65 with the fan flipped so it works with the PSU fan. extra exhaust might help with my GPU temps. Overall:- 66.66 (T8) + 33.09 (shipping) + $41.45CAD (tax and duties) = $225.33CAD. it is a small and quality case though, which I literally can't find the likes of on canadian amazon. aliexpress has similar, but cost about that much anyway, while taking 1+ months to ship. - not bad thermals or noise thanks to the large top fan, yet has glass panels and is very sff. rated 9 due to no cable management solution, and (impossible to install?) hard drive mount. - doesn't cost an arm and a leg. glass side panels. decent cooling. sub-10L. quiet. fits medium sized graphics cards. ships fast. it's darn near perfect.
