Raijintek Intros the Metis Plus Chassis
Raijintek introduced the Metis Plus cube-type mini-ITX aluminium chassis. A successor to the original Metis launched in 2014, the Metis Plus comes with an updated brushed aluminium finish with diamond-cut edges, a 120 mm top fan mount, an extra 2.5-inch drive mount along the base, and an updated 3.5-inch/2.5-inch (1x 3.5-inch convertible to 2x 7 mm-thick 2.5-inch) drive tray design. The rest of its specifications are unchanged from the original Metis.
Measuring 190 mm x 277 mm x 254 mm (WxDxH), and weighing in at 2.12 kg, the Metis Plus features an "upside-down" (left-side) oriented mini-ITX motherboard tray, with clearance for graphics cards as long as 17 cm, and CPU coolers as tall as 16 cm. It features a concealed standard ATX PSU bay, with an AC receptacle and internal cord conveying power to the PSU. The case can either hold four 2.5-inch + one 3.5-inch drives at a time, or two each of 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives. The case comes with a pre-installed front 120 mm intake fan with LED lighting to match the case color. The case comes in 7 color options. The company didn't reveal pricing.

my version
For example, this is one example of someone getting the best airflow out of the case you probably can get.
This is an older picture of my current metis.
The metis is not a case built for great airflow. It is built to be as compact as possible while still fitting a GPU. The metis does have horrible airflow. To make up for that, you have to force all the hot air out through the psu and side vent. Even then, the gpu overheats. My 1060 sits at about 90c with this setup.
The Metis Plus improves the airflow by giving the gpu an intake vent. This means you can fit even more powerful hardware in an extremely compact case.
There are more compact cases out there, but they are much more expensive. If you don't see the point of this case, then it is not for you. It is a cheap and very compact case made out of nice materials. I really like this case.
playing The Division settings at ultra.... averaged 64-68c max temp at one time was 76c after hours of jammin
running a 1060 cpu one core hit 52 lol
Let me know if you need screen shots or more pictures
