I was eagerly waiting for TechPowerUp to post about this case. I am quite interested in reading a review of The Ark.

From my perspective, this case looks exceptional. I do not have any specific ITX or MATX motherboard in mind for this case, but I am considering getting it just to see what it can do.

just looking at specs, this has all that I can do.
Id gladly get a new matx mobo to use this case.

A good review showing all the different layout would be great.

I agree—a few of the reviews I have seen. Never dig deep into the case. A lot of the time - it's one-sided for sure. The reviews share the cooling is A+. I want to see someone dig deep on this.

Interesting that it uses different ways of mounting the PSU. The case look is not quite my style. Cool design though.

It's too large for a matx/itx case, but I applaud them for thinking outside the box and not just making another RGB glass shit.

Also this company seems to make decent quality cases with non standard internals, and sometimes even unique materials. One of their cases has cow leather exterior, no I'm not making it up.

They might be worth keeping an eye on in the long run.

I have kept my eyes on the company like a few others for a few years. I never pulled the trigger because their cases would not fit my 12 x 13 motherboard.

Their customer service is right on point!

So we will have to keep watching!

I've seen this before, it's a modern PowerMac G4 Cube. Only this one keeps the power supply internal instead of external. Not a bad thing. Cube is one of my most favorite designs. Cooling was a real pain tho. Had to run mine out of it's case often because it simply got too hot. Course I modded the heck out of the hardware so, no way it was ever going to keep temps down.
