Of all the ITX cases out there, this is one of the best, but with caveats. First up is the PSU, this case can fit an SFX-L, but I wouldn't advise it. Reason being you would lose too much space in front for much needed cable management. I opted for a Corsair SF450, which also happens to be modular. Do not purchase a non modular PSU, you will regret it if you do. There will be far too many superfluous cables that you won't have space for. There are a few slim, slot loading drives available. The LG GS40N is a great inexpensive choice and fits perfectly. Also don't forget that you will need a Slimline SATA/Power cable. These generally come with a Molex connector, but purchasing a Molex to SATA adapter means you can omit the Molex cable from the PSU (hence why buy modular). On the topic of cable management, here are a few more tips: Run the front panel and audio cables behind the PSU (and USB3 header depending on mobo layout). Purchase short SATA cables for SSD/HDD, as the ones that came with your mobo will be too long and add to the cable clutter. 20–30cm should suffice depending on mobo layout again. Finally, have plenty of cable ties so that you can bundle cables together. I even purchased adhesive mounts that can be stuck to the sides of the case. In terms of the build, if you stick to the order specified in the manual, you should be ok. However, connecting the front panel headers might be easier to do before the mobo is mounted. Unless you use tweezers like I did! For my build, I utilised all the fan mounts, so ensure you have a mobo that supports the applicable number of fan headers. SilverStone kindly provide a splitter with the case to help. In my opinion, it's best to go with a low profile CPU cooler, so that you can opt for a fan above it. That way you can keep cool air coming into the case rather than recycling warm air. Remember that the case is designed for positive air pressure, and is vented so that the warm air escapes. In terms of GPU, don't go with anything too big. The case can support it, but it's just not necessary. Choosing a smaller one will also reduce the total weight, as trust me this rig gets heavy. Think 1 or 2 fan rather than 3. That's about all I can think of, and if you follow the rules, you'll have a great rig.

I was looking for a Mini-ITX case that was as small as possible while still being able to fit a full-length GPU. This case met all my expectations! It's small, compact and fits everything I needed. It also comes with 2 case fans (can only fit 3) and 3 magnetic dust filters which you can simply slap on top of the vents – a nice bonus.

I do have a few complaints however. Due to its small form factor, it only makes sense that cable management is a very difficult on the inside – if you're going to be building a PC with this you REALLY need to plan ahead because once everything is in, moving cables around or unplugging/re­plugging things is going to be a hassle unless you have tiny hands. There's a nice space opposite the PSU to tuck a lot of the cable clutter away, but little in the way of cable bays or anything like that. The case also has a LOT of parts that you need to unscrew from the inside of the case while putting it together, including the GPU mount which is somewhat awkward to place back in because it needs to plug into the motherboard's PCIE slot at the same time as you carefully lowering it back into the case to align with the screw holes. Another thing to note is that it only takes slim slot-in disc drives and there's only ONE option for those in NZ – a SilverStone model!

So yeah, putting the whole thing together is a quite a bit more difficult than a standard case but it's worth it if size is a factor for you. I got this on sale though so I'm not sure I'd recommend it for full price given the amount of effort it took to put it all together – you can probably find a cheaper case that doesn't look as nice but meets your requirements.
