My System Specs

Default Ncase for the mitx fans out there.

A case designed from the ground up by some enthusiasts over at [H]. I'm really liking the layout
Not too sure if a link is okay but here goes.

NCASE M1 prototype, a Mini-ITX Case | Indiegogo
Estimated retail price is a little high but imo worth it. ($160-200)

Its quite nice, however I wouldn't look to spend nearing (or over $200CAD) for a small case. I'm perfectly fine with my Prodigy builds, and that supports 240 rad which is more than enough.

If Asus (and others) follow through and launches a newer small sized video card. then there really wont be a need for "larger SFF" cases to fit full sized GPU's soon.

Damn that's purdy.... and I personally don't have a problem with their pricing. $200 for a relatively low production count quality case isn't really OTL IMO.

Hmm may be Lian Li will buy the production license, after all they are doing the manufacturing.

IV4N, they still need room for the PSU.

ZZLEE, they literally answer your exact question in the FAQ....i guess it's pretty frequently asked lol

I also agree that the $200 price isn't out of line; i'd hardly call [high-powered] MITX systems budget builds.

I'd be more interested if there was a windowed version personally.

EDIT:

it's pretty sad that it's taken this long to get a CPU cutout for a mitx system....although, I might be the only one that likes to switch out coolers and see what fits and doesn't fit.
