Gigabyte Intros New Value Micro-ATX Case
Gigabyte rolled out a new value micro-ATX case, the GZ-MK01. Measuring 180 x 360 x 435 (W x H x D) mm, it weighs 3.9 kg. It's made entirely of SECC and ABS plastic. Typical to micro-ATX cases, the GZ-MK01 features two 5.25", one exposed 3.5", and four internal 3.5" drive bays. There are four expansion slots. The motherboard tray is mostly open, letting you pass through cables and handle coolers with backplates. Front-panel is basic, consisting of two USB and audio ports. The only fan is the 80 mm rear exhaust, with provision for two side intakes, and one front intake. Gigabyte did not give out pricing, though one can expect it to be very affordable.

I've worked with chassis of this quality. Let's just say, when you will have to build a system in this chassis, it's a damn good idea to have a blood bag at hand.

Have paid twice the price of it for Lian Li PC-V354 which is made out of aluminum, but is designed so much better. Ventilation is better than in most midi tower cases that i had before. Plus it looks really nice with brushed aluminum and blue LED fans in front that are not too strong which is a good thing since i'm no fan of LED fans.
There are also even smaller single 120mm intake fan models, i think PC-V352 or 351. I don't recommend those that have 60mm exhaust fans.
I've been waiting for so long and It amazes me how case manufacturers havent done that to MATX cases yet..
