After checking out on itx build,
its seems the cost and availability of parts really is not worth the effort not to mention the increase heat generated .

therefore i started to venture out into small form factor matx cases.
i came to see this INWIN 301 and it seems nice except the white version cost about 150 which is a little pricey.

just wondering if any bros here are already into small form factor matx cases and care to share your builds?

I saw this youtube video two days back with regards to MetallicGear Neo Mini V2 case and a google search showed that it was previously available in Singapore for about $90 but it is no longer available now.

I thought the price point and design was nice.

I'm planning to build in a metalfish s5 case. Slowly sourcing around for parts though, might take another month or 2 to complete. So far I'm lacking the mobo and gpu

I got it from this listing in June last year.

Was $109 - $10 voucher so $99.

Only the bottom has dust filters. It's fine though as this case is designed to have the intake via the bottom and the exhaust via the back and front.

Good price.. sadly the white variant cheapest i can find is 149 which is ridiculous

Any Tecware Nexus M users?

Its a matx/itx case which is smaller than quite a number of itx cases at 12.5L, and requires an sfx psu.

Metallicgear is quite popular on Taobao though.

You can search using the keywords below.

METALLICGEAR普力魔410 RGB迷你 水冷台式电脑铝小主机箱

For 449 Yuan, it be about $90. After shipping also will be cheaper than the $149 case you are after but do get insurance if using forwarder like ezbuy for the tempered glass panel.Their fan series have incredible value too.

Itx case same series is at $74.
