Azza Introduces The Pyramid Mini 806 Mini-ITX Case
Azza have recently announced their latest case the Pyramid Mini 806, a peculiar Mini-ITX chassis with a sleek pyramid design. The Pyramid Mini 806 is a smaller version of the very similar Azza Pyramid 804 case which could accommodate up to ATX sized motherboards. This new model features an aluminium design with quad tempered glass side panels. The case features a tiered design with the motherboard on the middle level above the SFX power supply and graphics card, while the top layer houses the included 120 mm RGB Hurricane II fan. The case has room for just 2 2.5" drives and comes with a small front I/O panel consisting of a single USB 3.0 Type-A port, power button, and HD Audio connector. The case is set for a November 2020 release with early listings putting the price at €249.90 (~295 USD).

in term of PC case design, pyramids are "way ahead" :roll:
Mix that with this pyramid design to make it big and impractical. Oh, and also expensive.
Good job, Azza.
Triangle or circle, this is still the same issue. Buy it as art, do not buy it as a good PC case.
The ~100W CPU gets the only active cooling in the case, whilst the ~200W gpu gets to fend for itself in an upside-down orientation with its intakes blocked almost entirely by motherboard, motherboard tray and having hot air off the CPU blown at it.
If it were me, I'd have flipped both the top fan and GPU around so that the top fan exhausts air to aid the chimney effect of convection than working against it, and the GPU would get the freshest, coolest intake air from underneath.
They wanted the pretty-looking fan at the top that way around because the fan-hub is ugly and this is an RGBLED-first design with any kind of functionality/practicality a distant second :laugh:
where itx made for compact and small space, this case make itx like full tower wide
Also i like the missing screw on the DVI connector on the 1080 Gaming X. Like did anyone even look at this before publishing?
Now, if someone were to make a tower that looked like this - I'd sure as hell buy one.
I would consider buying this if it were at around 70USD max
But there is one design flaw which really stands out in my eyes. The front "panel". Which is inside the pyramid. For the better looks, it should have been integrated into the frame.
The power button also looks very unattractive. Should have been solid button with a color of a frame.
Frankly though, I like seeing manufacturers take some risks with their designs.
The I/O panel sure is rich and full of options...
