A bit bigger than the Ncase. But in terms of coming with a side window this looks to be a good choice if that's your thing.

Looks good, but I wish it had a usb c port on the top.

Hmm... no picture of the case here?

IMO, they should make a mini-STX case.

What's the deal with the radiator support? Lian Li says it supports a "260 x 50mm radiator". 50mm must be the thickness, but what's with 260? The only modern radiators I know of come in lengths that are increments of 120 or 140mm. I'm not aware of anything in increments of 130mm.

They probably mean dimensions, again, of the radiator: putting it squarely into 240mm class radiators. I wonder though if that 50mm includes the fans.

Either that or there's a radiator that is designed to accommodate specifically one 120mm fan and one 140mm fan. lol

In the past, they've been pretty good at providing both window and non-window versions of their cases.

I don't see a windowless version of this chassis (yet), but they do still offer a number of windowless mini-ITX cases:

Like you, I'm not a big fan of windows. But they make one of the few windowed cases I actually like:

That said, it costs 2-3x what I'm willing to spend on a case.
