Goodisory A02 0.12in Mini-Itx Aluminum Desktop Computer Chassis HTPC Chassis (Silver)

Great half alluminum alloy (front, sides and top), half rigid black powder painted steel sheet for frame and bottom (1,5mm i think). Plenty of space inside even for large air cooler, two 80mm low profile fans (15mm or 10mm) one SSD and cables to manage, also some SFF graphic card will fit like RTX A2000 which I did for my build with I5-10500 and temperatures during gaming on card are below 75C where for CPU is 55C, in idle all quiet and cool 40-45 C degrees, If we have more manufacturers like this one we could say we can restore the quality in the PC design where today everything is cheap, plastic garbage made of can foil for one purpose to dig your pocket out! Great stuff designers of that one, many should learn from you that we can do it. The question is how we think and do it, we can do everything. This also applies to energy market where we could do much better if we change out thinking from gold diggers on another human being to collective resolution of problems that affect everyone. Keep it up!

Made of very thick aluminum with very tiny vents, it's like the inside of a tank. Tried this with a 65W TDP and 67mm fan, straight shot up to 95C... same build in the open air doesn't exceed 80C under 30 mins stress, simply unacceptable for my use. Maybe if you have two massive case exhaust fans it can be okay, but this comes with noise. Ended up with Goodisory A07 which fits the same components, is significantly smaller, lighter, and despite only accepting 36mm cpu cooler, it was cooler than this monstrosity.

This case would be class leading "if" they had cut more cooling ventilation into the removable top panel. Build quality is top notch, and made from premium aluminium. Value is excellent. Sleek and stylish HDD, System lighting etc. Quality internal wiring. I was easily able to build an ITX system based on a Ryzen 5700X and 5060 low profile card in it along with a modular Flex PSU. I am had a replacement top panel made to resolve the poor ventilation which will make this the perfect case.

Decided from start not to fit flex psu Tried HDPLEX gan 250w and even that gave too high thermals. Used HDPLEX pico-psu in the end and used some nylon screw-in standoffs to give more top ventilation. If gaming fan noise might not be problem but for htpc in stock setup could be annoying. Using standoffs make a difference and the ones I used had various sizes,I think I used 8mm but you choose size that suits. UPDATE Decided to try Enhance 450w modular Flex ATX from Overtek.co.uk. (shipped to Ireland) as flex psu have come a long way since I last tried. Pleasantly surprised that it runs cooler and quieter. Guessing while pico-psu's have their place,just don't seem to work as well on modern motherboards

Well build solid case for mini itx motherboards better built than some more expensive cases, space for some fans, good buy.

Es könnte ein richtig gutes Gehäuse sein: Schlicht, elegamt, gute Verarbeitung. Es sind sogar die Seitenwände demontierbar, um z.B ein störrisches Netzteil zu bändigen. Mit geeigneter Hardware - MINIS FORUM BD795i SE Mini ITX Motherboard (kein SATA) und Netzteil mit Kabelmanagement - sieht es am Ende aufgeräumt aus. Und doch muß ich gleich 2 Sterne abziehen. Die Grafikkarten-Slots sind nach rechts versetzt und passen nicht zum GPU-Slotblech, dadurch werden Anschlüsse verdeckt bzw. die GPU steht schief (s. Bild). Ich müßte mit der Feile die Öffung bearbeiten, um die Karte nicht zu verklemmen. Oberhalb ist ein so filigraner Steg zwischen den Öffnungen, daß man sich an den Kopf greifen muß - wer baut denn so etwas ? Ein weiteres Detail sind zu weit ins Gehäuse ragende Schrauben der Gummifüße. Habe sie durch selbstklebende Noppen ersetzt, damit 1 Schraube nicht das Netzteil verkratzt.

Ho fritto 2 schede madri perchè gli ingegnieri hanno ben pensato di fare i distanziali, saldati sulla base del case, in metallo... così che mandasse in corto circuito tutto... Bravi, dei fenonemi...

It a nice compact system that's perfect for a home theatre PC. Full metal design, looks and feels sleek. It can hold a 2.5 and 3.5 drive at the same time. Might even be able to sqeeze one more 2.5 somewhere. I use a 4TB drive to use with my Plex server. The 3.5 drive sits atop the CPU fan, no not ideal but no issues after installing a low profile CPU cooler from Noctua. Also installed 2 case fans to dissipate heat, the internal temp is about 65 Celsius so not bad. Not using this as a gaming machine so not sure how it would handle a graphics card. Front USB ports are great, although wish it were the newer rounded type.

Great design + small + portable

The case is beautiful but not for the faint of heart. Although I have not built my system yet I have some components around to see what kind of challenge it will present when building. Originally I was looking a case big enough to OC a Ryzen 3400g. ( No need for this one for that scenario but certainly comes handy). Good size for some little fans plus being aluminum will really help for heat dissipation. However when comparing the performance I can get from a 3400g against let us say a used Ryzen 2600 and used GPU I thought about getting something a little bigger but very portable. This is it. PROS: Beautiful Aluminum helps heat dissipation. Future Proof ( I will explain below) Cons: It will present a challenge to pack lots of power with the present technology. And this is where I start talking about future proof. Who does not want the power of at least a 580 or 1070 with a nice 3600 in something that you can hold with one hand? I do but the reality is that I see this little system as a secondary/back up system that offers portability. Once I built this little guy I will not carry my laptop. Sure my laptop may be more convenient but I will certainly carry with more power no matter what final build I get. Even if I only go with a 3400g with a very nice OC on the APU and very fast memory (and yet I am trying to avoid going this path). The thing is that this case allows me to have a path to keep upgrading my system which is something my laptop cannot do and it has already fallen behind with a GTX560M. Now a more important aspect. Technology is getting more efficient and smaller so imagine the possibilities that the near future may bring. Slimmer cards, less heat, smaller power requirements, etc. I will be shooting now for a 1050 mini or low profile which are hard to find but even if I end up with APU only the near future will give me more powerful and efficient opportunities. I do not know when something this small could turn into a main system but right now I only want to take my gaming with me at 1080p or 900p with medium settings. My thing is actually 3D gaming and for that I do it at home either in my projector, monitor or TV. I hope this give me happy days and will provide update once I built my system. So far 5 stars for the potential value and very nice quality and style although I did not get a manual for the case which would have been nice to get ideas about potential configurations (mainly cooling)
