RAIJINTEK 0R200010 METIS Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case - Gold

I must say that I have only received this product a week ago and am still awaiting a few more components to turn up so that I can fully complete an install using this case.1st impressions. This is a beautiful case with a nice finish. It would be even nicer if the screw heads where the same colour as the case but that is being particularly pinickity!It is unsurprisingly very light weight and therefore easy to manoeuvre. And although the instructions are not the clearest, if you have built PC's in the last 20 years then it is not too difficult to get lost.On to the internals. This is MINI ITX which means that you will need to do some proper thinking and planning and be aware of component sizes. ie maximum length of a gfx card is 17cm which will limit you a bit, but not too much. I would also stick with stock cpu coolers, BUT the psu can be standard ATX. I personally think it will make your life easier if you can at least get a part modular model in.Now on to my negatives, and this is my only real one, but it may be a game changer for some: This has only 1 internal fan and only room for that 1 internal fan. It is fitted to exhaust the air which is the better solution but you will need to keep an eye on temps. Instead of a glass windows it might have been better to have placed a 2nd fan mount. Only time will tell on this, as I said I haven't completed the installation.Sorry for the long review but I can find very few others out there so hopefully this will help some of you.

Would not recommend this for inexperienced/first time builders, but if you know what you're doing and want a super compact Mini ITX build, this case a great option, but you need to be careful while building because the panels scratch very easily!Highly recommend using a modular SFX power supply with flat cables (Where highly recommend means please do if you value your sanity. Cable management is close to impossible. Only managed to make my build work because of a smaller graphics card, you will not have any luck with longer ones in this case.It is possible to fit a 120mm AiO (Specifically  Corsair Hydro Series H55 ), but it's a tight fit and you need to do all the cable management far in advance.Cooling wise you'll need to use the rear fan as an intake, using a 3-pin non PWM fan makes it get loud, so a bit of extra investment is worth it if you want a quieter case. Mount is so that you've got Fan -> Radiator -> Back of case, with the fan pulling air through.

This case is very nice, and small. I wanted a small, proper case. The other mini itx cases are too big and the small ones are to small. I used this for a gaming machine: Pentium G 3258, msi z87i gaming ac, low profile ram, scythe katana 3 cooler (zalman cnps5x is incompatible with the motherboard), modular corsair psu atx, msi gtx 750ti small factor graphic card, two 2.5" hdd one is an sdd. The above system is quiet and cool at stock clocks. I have very tiny hands and I worked as a surgeon few years ago and I can say this build is close to doing certain difficult surgical operations. It is easier if you remove the lid, base and the lateral panels. It is also easier if you use the intel's stock cooler. It is easier if you mount the psu and hdd's whilst the base is detached. You also need to find a cooler compatible with this case airflow. Mine it is pushing the air towards the case cooler.It is a very, very nice case. The satisfaction is great when you finish. I think using an amd apu would have been better. I also think if the psu would have been smaller you can even think of a bigger tha 170mm graphic card.

The case is not very easy to work with, as you'll find out with any mini itx MB. You have to plan ahead, and inspect the layout, get the panels off for easier installation, mounting..I don't have big hands, and still I struggle.. Have a look at the finished baby, my first build btw.CPU- Ryzen 5 6corezotac mini gtx1060 6gbASrock AB350 mini itx MOBOCorsair 16gb ddr4Corsair sfx450 PSUNoctual special edition am4 cooler(forgot the name)

Very nice little case.It fits full size atx standad PSU but i wouldn't recommend it. Get a small factor PSU. I have used Coirsair SF600 + sfx to atx bracket.

Very high quality built a htpc look fantastic totally recommend

Cracking little case, with a surprising amount of room.

Excellent case for that compact mini itx build.
