Node 304 case

Is this mini atx case any good?

Well, first off, it's NOT a mini-ATX, it's a Mini-ITX. Big, big difference.

Mini-ITX builds are usually for stuff like HTPC or, rarely, NAS boxes.

As such there are strong limitations in the design and building is complicated. THis one is more interesting than most, but is very restrictive on space, has no room for an optical drive and presents challenges in cable management and internal design.

TL;DR, it you don't even know that this is a mITX case, you probably should not build in it.
