Nickel ??
Perfect for an emulation machine with a ryzen APU. Compact and yet spacious enough, but beware of the height of the Ventirad.

Very good manufacture case.
Very pleased with the quality of the product, serious metal.
The transformer makes no noise at all, which makes my home PC almost silent (which is why I changed my case, so I feel like saying "fortunately"). I used to have a small ADVANCE case that made too much noise and had shiny plastic that didn't look good. Now it looks great!
Be careful with the height of your CPU fan though. Mine is touching the grid of the side cover. I even had to force the side panel up a bit but I managed to close the case (a bit like when you go on holiday and you force the suitcase shut because it's too full) but with 2 mm less it fits without forcing. I have an Artic Freezer 11 LP fan.
The LED light is strong but very directional, so it's very discreet when it's not directly in the line of sight.
The only drawback is that the screw on the right cover (standing version) or on the bottom (laptop version) protrudes from the cover => I completely scratched my wooden living room furniture and the wooden kitchen table during assembly. Grrrr!!!!
In short, I think it's great but be careful not to scratch your furniture if you put it on the lid.Review automatically translated -

The quality is there
This case reveals a high quality of manufacture.
- There is no play in the panels, the aluminium parts are very solid, the grilles on the side and top allow for very good ventilation.
- The finish is outstanding, both inside and out. The aluminium part on which it is placed has two rubber pads that prevent any vibrations.
- Be careful with the arrangement of the cables, as there is not much room, but you can just about fit everything in.
- Also be careful with the choice of the ventirad because there is really very little height. I put in a Noctua NH-L9i which works very well and without noise.

I wanted a mini PC
No problem for the installation of the asrock B360.
The 150W power supply is sufficient and particularly quiet (I5 8400, 8GB M2 960 evo and Barracuda).
The contents of the case do not heat up, and the ventilation remains correct.
Good finish, good mechanics, interior access a little cramped but not preventing handling.
Very happy with this case.Review automatically translated -

Very good housing
The small size of this attractive, sober and functional HTPC makes it perfect for use in the living room. In this format, it is one of the few cases with integrated power supply. Cooling is easy thanks to the metal mesh on the left side, which partially opens the top. The horizontal position is possible but not interesting because nothing can be put on it. Be careful with the height of the fan and the installation of the cables serving the disks to be fixed on the right side.
