Of course, though, there are many people who created videos explaining that situation so others can understand it.

I liked the design, but I also wanted something simple to transport since I plan to use it often. Having extra space would be helpful, especially for my first project. I was planning on a bigger case originally. Your feedback is really appreciated—it helps me consider better options and ensure it matches my needs beyond just appearance. Thanks!

Based on my setup, I've been using this case for a mITX PC in my living room. It features a handle for easy relocation. I’ve noted a few points from personal experience. The design and appearance are appealing, though there are some considerations to keep in mind. You might prefer an air cooler instead of an AiO watercooler for this model. The case only accommodates 120mm fans, with one at the front and another at the back. GPU temperatures can be an issue because air flows across the top, but I managed by adding a fan that draws air upward from below. Here’s a photo of my setup (dust removal hasn’t been done yet, but it’s not a big problem). The glass panel conceals the PSU area. My MSI 1070 GPU is reusable and fits well, handling larger GPUs as well. Temperatures are actually better than expected, mainly thanks to an extra fan placed underneath. The 3.5 drive was intended for top placement above the motherboard, but the screws on the HDD were damaged, so I secured it at the bottom using the existing fan holes for added stability. This case supports a 2.5-inch SSD and works well with my Ryzen 7 2700 CPU (paired with the RGB Wraith cooler from my main PC). The motherboard is the mITX Gigabyte model I mentioned earlier, paired with 16GB 3200MHz RAM and a latency of around 15-16ms. I achieve solid CPU performance, likely due to a clear path to the processor. With the GPU setup I have, including that fan, I can stream on a 4K TV, benefiting from an extra 100MHz overclock for both cores and memory—still maintaining decent temps (mid to late 70s).
