Looks like a very nice case with some great features, still a little too big I believe for what it is.

Like the design, the only thing that i would have liked is inverse layout so the gpu ends up on top, that way you either could use the top for rad or for gpu intake.

Either that, or gone with a BitFenix Prodigy-style layout. Having the gpu fans where they seem to be just doesn't seem very beneficial.

I got the Micro ATX Evolv and it has one design flaw. The top shroud is not ventilated enough for an exhaust radiator. From the images this looks to have exactly the same design. In my loop I have 1x120mm rear radiator exhaust and 1x240mm top radiator exhaust (and 2x140mm intake fans in front). When I play games or run benchmarks I have to take the top off. I would say it is a minor design flaw because taking the shroud off is really easy.

Although rather bulky, looks quite nice.

Id have to agree, this is too large for my needs in an ITX build. ITX is about being compact and out of view. this just doesn't fit that bill. I like the hard points for rads and rezs but there are smaller cases and a cheaper cost that do it better.
