I post all this because if you came here hoping to find a nice slick mini itx case for your next build but were just incredibly let down by this poorly designed case there is hope for you. From what I am seeing all I see is 1x 120mm exhaust fan and 1 bottom intake for the PSU. There are zero cold air intake fans. This is going to cause some serious problems for me to like this case. Thermal performance is going to be dreadful. Two thumbs down on this one. The Ncase M1 is still the king of all mini itx cases by a long shot. Got my empty ncase m1 sitting right in my closet just waiting for it's time to shine. Lian Li is actually the company that produces the ncase m1. Well it's not their case some guys on the hard ocp forum got together and designed the case. They then contracted lian li to manufacture it since lian li has a ton of experience manufacturing all aluminum cases. They basically take a buncha orders then when they get enough sold they do a production run. I think Lian li requires to make at least 1000 cases or they won't do it. There has been 2 production runs of the ncase m1 so far I think there are about 2500 floating around now. Once you check out the features of the ncase m1 all other mini itx cases seem like inferior crap. Every detail is so perfectly thought out. Supports full length GPU, supports 240mm radiator and 3x 2.5" ssd's and no optical or 2x 2.5" ssd with slim optical or 120mm rad and 2x 3.5" hdd and 3x 2.5 ssd. Basically there are a ton of diff configs to make the system exactly how you want it. 92mm exhaust + 2x 120mm intake on bottom and 2x 120mm on the side which can be intake or where the radiator goes depending on if u use heatsink for cpu or the CLC. Lian Li can make an amazing product if they want to cause they manufactured the ncase m1 which is amazing. It's even smaller then this case is. This case is 18L the ncase m1 is 12.6L yet it somehow fits WAY more stuff. The layout of the ncase m1 is just so much more well thought out and its use of SFX power supplies is a huge bonus. The 600 watt silverstone SFX power supply really helps enable the great things about the case tho it can also fit an atx power supply if you make sacrifices. infinite number of configurations with this case.
