Goodisory 0.6mm SECC Mini ITX Black Chassis (01)

This case was simple to assemble. I used an M.2 drive, PICA PSU, and Noctua NH-L9a CPU cooler on an MSI mini ITX board. I had all the components from previous builds, so I looked for a case. At $20, this case suited my needs.In the picture, you can see that I removed the SATA cables from my PICA since I wasn't adding any other drives.There was enough room for my Noctua cooler by a few millimeters.Pictured in front of my 32" monitor and next to the power brick for scale.Pros:Plenty of ventilation.Can be used vertically or horizontally.Sturdy build quality.Cons:Plugging in the front panel connectors was frustrating, but that's the price you pay for using a tiny case.Trying to add a 2.5" SSD would be challenging, primarily due to the extra cables.

Nice small case for builders. No frills. . Used an Asrock IMB170 ITX MB, 2.5 SSD, 40x10mm fan, low profile cooler. Setup an OPNsense firewall/bridge between my main router and ISP. Working great, small footprint, stays cool. Used an external 12 volt power supply for this build.Note that a Thermalright AXP90 X36 cooler will work nicely in this tiny case. I'm doing an AM4 build in one of these for a network cam server. What fun!

My review would have been 3 stars if I could easily get the proper fan size for the case, but any info on the fan size available for this was wrong - I read 40 mm and 60 mm, but it turned out to be 50 mm. This makes me suspect that they change the product using the same listing.The case works to hold the motherboard, but maybe go for something else if having a fan to cool is needed.

Great case if you're just looking to house a mini itx without any bells and whistles. You'll need a pico psu and a low profile heat sink. If you can go M.2, then go that way because there isn't really any mounting for a 2.5" ssd. I had a 2.5" kicking around, so just screwed it to the side panel using the vent holes and some hdd screws I had. Worked great for my purposes. Honestly, for the money (< $20) it's hard to find better value.

I bought this to build a home file server. The one I received does not have a silver disc (button?) on the front. The power switch and power/hard drive light are on the top (or left side if vertical) which works well. There is no wasted space. The hole for the pico psu DC input is so tightly positioned that I had to slightly file the edge of the I/O shield to insert the jack. The other problem I encountered is the hard disk mounting plate has no standoff to raise the power and sata ports enough to insert the connectors. Adding two #4 washers at each corner provided just enough clearance. But if you want to package a mini-ITX motherboard in as small a case as possible this is the solution.

I used my old Intel DM510 Atom ITX motherboard with 4GB RAM ddr2, 128GB SSD and I use OCESTORE 24Pin ATX Switch Pico PSU Car Auto Mini ITX High Power Supply Module DC 12V 160W ATX Power Switch Cable kit.. I download Home Assistant OS 9.5 2023.xx and Balena Etcher flash image to SSD. Configuration the Bios as been follow instructions for Home Assistant OS Bootup.. It was snap and easy..

good stuff

While a lot of care seems to have been put into the selection of materials (the steel case is mostly fine and the plastic front panel isn't cheap feeling), the mouting holes are entirely off of mini-ITX standard and the rivets use to keep the case together get in the way of installing anything. Unfortunately completely useless because of the little care applied to the internal design.
