Discussion Interesting: Minimalist ITX Aluminum Case

[digitalgriffin]

I saw this one on amazon. Supposedly they are a manufacturer out of China.

Pros:
Aluminum Chassis that is reasonably priced. ($49)
Small foot print
ATX PS support
Minimalist design (Doesn't scream computer case with clean lines)
Tool free construction.
Cable management.

Cons:
only (1) 120mm fan supported - not included!
only (1) 2.5" & (1) 3.5" drive supported.

Obviously not good for a gaming PC or file server. But it would make a decent PFSense box, or HTPC PC with a low powered graphics card.

Aluminum clad case, chassis looks like steel.

Yeah, would take a different front panel to make it interesting as more than a low power system.

I wouldn't even put my HTPC in it. Currently using an old Sugo variant. Nice 140mm fan in the front. Power supply acts as exhaust.

I'd still buy the Cougar QBX or Fractal Core 500.

I like the minimalistic look. I guess as an office machine or entertainment system its really a good fit.
