Absolutely awesome little case and quiet!
This is the best mATX case I could find and I researched for months. It's small and super quiet (look for a review of this case on silentpcreview.com). I bought the one without the window (so I didn't order it from Amazon), but it's so quiet that I'm sure this one would be ok. It looks very professional and it's super well built, not the cheap material you normally see on custom cases. You will need an external USB 3.0 Optical Drive, which I don't mind because CD/DVD media is rarely used these days.I'm super happy, and as said by another reviewer this is an excellent but overlooked case. This is my custom build, I bought everything from Amazon, with exception of the case as I said.Case: Rosewill U3-B - This case is perfect for the Asus Maximus VIII Gene board, just 1 quiet fan and small. My system runs at around 48C. I'm using Asus one click overclocking.MB: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII GENEKeyboard: DAS Keyboard 4 Professional Soft Tactile (4) - love itSamsung 950 PRO -Series 512GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 - 2.5/1.5 GBs read/writeSamsung 850 PRO 1 TB 2.5-Inch SATA III - data volumebe quiet!

As I run several computers, I didn't want a system that would use 300-600W in my office.Update March 2016: I added a video card to run my monitors: NVIDIA Quadro K1200. Excellent card, super quiet and fast. Low consumption (max 45W only).I hope they put this case back in stock soon because it's such a great little case.

Beautiful but to small
Case looks amazing, but it's an inch to short to accomadate a full size gpu. It would also be nice to have a motherboard cut and options for more than 1 fan.

Great, just not for HDD's
The only true mATX case I've encountered. Very few mATX cases are smaller than this without compromising support for a full gpu. I bought this case because i needed a tiny-*ss case that would be silent and fit my gtx 970 and a cooling solution for a 4790k. I had a asus gene z97 mobo that is about the biggest mATX form factor is allowed to be. This case fit all of that, including a massive air tower cooler (bequiet dark rock 3).My only problem with this case is that its tiny size really limits HDD placement. Because of my oversize cpu cooler, I couldn't mount a hard drive anywhere except on the very bottom of the case, blocking some air flow. That left nowhere to put my SSD. Let me explain, there are no drive racks, just screwholes on some panels to let you mount on. Therefore sata power cables barely fit.Tl;dr: best mATX tiny case, lightweight and quality aluminum, but don't buy it if you have more than one hard drive.

Pretty and small case, that handle full size Computer parts.
Case overall was beautiful to looking and feel at. Power button is solid and HDD LED light ring is a nice touch. Very light, because of the all aluminium materials and small form factor. Aluminium door/Plastic windows cover had a sturdy feeling when open and close and fit was great with foam edge on case itself. Everything fit without any more space(will maybe another video card can be added) to spare using the parts as follow:ASUS Z97M-PLUS (Micro-atx)intel i5 46790kCooler Master Seidon 120XL (Push and Pull liquid cooling) radiator and fans just cleared over the cpu mountWD 1TB BlackSamsung Evo 250GBAsus GTX660 DirectCU II (10.2 INCH) barely fittedCorsair CS series 550 Modular8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws XGTX660 was pretty hard to install into the case, had to unscrew the video card Double PCI-e slot bracket and tilt the card just to get in the case. The card end had to touch the inner front of the case with no room left, but lucky the 6-pin power connector was on top of the video card.Seidon XL radiator bottom (long side) had to face toward window to have the HDD bracket fittedOne star removed was for the WD 1 TB hard drive mount installing on the window removable bracket, was that the HDD power connector was too flat on it and was difficult to insert the PSU power cable to it. 4 rubber grommet was there, but it had to be screw from the side and not on the bottom and it also apply on the SSD mounting on the bottom of case. Factory 120mm exhaust fan was removed and place on the bottom case for air intake, bc the case front don't contain front fan.And last with a small gripe, black aluminium tend to scratch easy.It a great case nonetheless if you want Micro-atx case with a slick and simple design. I can't see me going to a plastic PC case ever again.

Liked it a lot. Good for small form-factor gaming.
The case is well built, easy to work in, and has a very quiet fan. The adjustable single fan provides decent airflow, and my system hovers around 29C at idle and 51C running most games on ultra. I'm not sure if a full size GPU fits but i'm using a GeForce GTX660 and it fits fine.It says you can either use 2 x 2.5'' HDD or 1 x 3.5'' HDD but i'm using all three and it fits them with no problems at all.Follow the instructions during assembly as the motherboard's standoff system is kinda weird, and make sure to use the PSU hanger as well.Pros:Very good size/space comboQuiet fanGood ventilationLight and easy to movepower switch/HDD indicator is a cool blue/purpleCons:It is a white metal aluminum so it scratches easilyCould use a real potentiometer instead of a 3 position switch for the rear fan, but thats just me.No 5.25'' bay for CD/DVD but who buys games on spinning media anyway!?
