Great miniITX case at a nice price, easy to work with and the inclusion of magnetic dust filters is a nice touch. Just be aware that to fit in the power supply, you may need to remove the front panel then reattach it again. Simple enough, but check some video reviews to make sure you know what you're getting in to :)

A good case

This is a good case overall for an ITX build. You can fit plenty of HD's in it. It was a little longer than I expected. I fitted in a small GPU but it can fit a reasonable sized GPU and still have a bit of airflow, just don't go any bigger than 2 brackets. The only downside is the case cover can be a little fiddly getting back on.
