Cons: - Popped out 4 of the spikes meant to form the "tool-less" HDD bays. Had to use large headed screws to secure the drives instead. Disappointing.
Pros: - Minuscule- Included fans are extremely quiet- Spacious enough to install all components without too much struggle.- Every possible intake is covered by a fan filter. Excellent beyond measure! |

Cons: Big, for ITX, kind of defeats the purpose....
Pros: Easy to build in, nice quality, easy access Comment:
Very nice case to work with, no issues at all. I just wish it were a tiny bit smaller or corsair would build one similar but more vertical so it takes up less desk space. |

Cons: None
Pros: -Sleek and compact design-Top and both side panels come off making installation of components easy.-Minimal need of screwdriver (only to secure motherboard) Comment:
Great little case for a HTPC or for a desk with limited space. The case is very easy to work with. The design is sleek and blends nicely with TV and home theater setup. |

Cons: the thumb screws at the back are super tight because the screw holes are not aligned properly. Not a big con since screw driver is good enough to remove them
Pros: Brush aluminium front panelfan filters everywherefan grill on the front fan to prevent cables from obstructing the fan Comment:
Overall it was a great case. Had some fun building a system in it (and then comes the cable mess but that is why there is a fan grill on the front fan). Would recommend this to anyone who is building a small computer |

Cons: A bit bigger than anticipated.
Pros: Elegant and sober design. Tooless. Very easy to work with. Ventilation. Comment:
Corsair is always a sign of a good quality product and this 250D is perfect. Build an i3 with 8 gig of ram, a ssd, optical drive and a gtx750ti. Couldn't be happier. Perfect for HTPC or Steambox. |

Cons: Drives not hot swap...but at $89 is undserstandable
Pros: Great Filtration, Full Size PSU, Full Size GPU Comment:
Specializing in small form factor builds, this is one of my favorite cases. It is attractive, with top[ viewing window and offers excellent filtration. Every intake area if filtered, with an easily removable and cleanable filter. Brilliant!!! I have built air cooled and water cooled systems with the mini itx case and both performed very well, even overclocked. At under $90, it's a great case, great value and a must buy if you are looking for a mini itx case |

Cons: Could be smaller but achieve the same results
Pros: - Easy to install all the components- High quality- Intelligent design and placement of fans/components/etc. Comment:
This is a serious case built by a company that knows what it's doing. The screws and screw holes are excellently placed and of great quality. The fan placements and dust screens are very dependable. It's probably the best choice for building a dependable mini-ITX computer where the components fit reliably and easily. |

Cons: CPU cooler height and AIO radiator compatibility
Pros: Read all other reviews. It's great in (almost) every respect. Comment:
Try to remember it IS an mITX case. So air-cooler height clearance is pretty low. Stick with watercooling instead. (Speaking of which, thicker radiator might require thinner fan) |

Cons: Honestly None.
Pros: Small,Full sized gpu, 240mm rad, well built, wire management, and price. Better then the Prodigy Comment:
Build.Asrock mini itxGtx 770Sea sonic 850 modulari5-45708gbdvd2.5 ssd 1602.5 750gb hddCorsair H100iMy thoughts:This was a built for a customer of mine, he had this same system in a Bitfenix Prodigy. This case looks allot better and has much better dust filtration. I have to say hands down this is the best mini ITX SFF case that I have worked in to date. The build quality seems to be allot better then the prodigy. Wire management is a bit of a pain but it is possible to clear the wires to achieve good airflow with some zip times and some time. Another plus with this case is that you can fit a optical drive in with a 240mm radiator installed unlike the prodigy. Customers thoughts:He liked that the case is smaller then the Prodigy and that it has much better dust filtration. He loved the fact that he could fit a optical drive along with the Corsair H100i. He liked that there is a top window that allows you to see your system on the top and not the side like the Prodigy. Price was also a pro to this case. Pros vs Prodigy:Top Window.Can fit Rad and Optical Drive.Better dust filtration.Better hard drive storage.Better feet on case.Can fit a 160mm+ psu with no issues.Cons vs ProdigyWire management is not as good.H100i cannot be push pull. |

Pros: Very well designed case that looks amazing. Comment:
This is an amazing mini ITX case. Currently being used for my HTPC/Steam Box. Everything is well laid out and cooling is not an issue. No sharp edges makes for a painless build process. Easy cable management and air filters everywhere to keep the dust bunnies out.Overall you cannot go wrong with this case. |
Overall a very good case. It's quiet, and fits perfectly on my desk next to my WiiU. I had no serious issues installing any of my components:- H60, fit like a glove- 750TI, had a little bit of a struggle getting it to slide in above the PCI port. Definitely put the video card and RAM in before mounting the motherboard.- PSU, no issues.- SSD, no issue.HDD, see cons. Not impressed with the drive bays, be aware that screws will still work though!I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a mini case, with fan filters!
