Press Release alert.

My Mini-ITX case is about a third of this one.

Yeah.... this is just shuttle computer size with a smaller board. If you want to serve the form factor well, get rid of the external 3.5 bay and make the 5.25 a slim drive bay.

I was going to say that it would nice if you wanted to fit a large video card in there, but you'd have to do a little modding as it's not double-slot friendly. Otherwise, I like the Lian-Li ITX case more in every way.

FYI guys Aywun released the exact same chasis except with a mirror front (which is annoying as it gets finger prints easily).

What a ripoff.
