My Flex Mini SS arrived yesterday! Opened it up but couldn't build in immediately since I am still waiting for my GPU and PSU.
Here are my initial impressions:
- The packaging was awesome! Ridiculous amounts of foam and polystyrene sheets make it tough to damage the case. Good job at that.
- Given the past batches QC, I am really surprised at how amazingly well this case is built even for a prototype.
- The panels are rigid, and I mean RIGID! I applied a lot of force to see if they bend but they would not bend! I would feel ultra comfortable to travel with it with it other things in a backpack. Truly amazing.
- Doesn't feel much heavy even if its SS. And considering that it is so strong, the weight is worth it.
The not so good impressions (mostly nitpicks, not deal breakers):
- The strip on the front is a bit of an eye sore and doesn't give a good feel from close up
- The screws fit weirdly in some locations. Given that the case is so industrial, it doesn't surprise me. Not a deal breaker but a nitpick.
- There seems to a gap between the I/O shield and PSU at the back which I am not sure if it has a function or is an error? Maybe
@sergiiua can weigh in on this or someone else can. Either way, its a small hole to be concerned about dust when the entire side is not filtered. Not a worry.
Again these are all nitpicks, and at 99$ with shipping for a custom case, not commercially available, I am absolutely happy!
My roommates were fascinated at the size and how much it can fit. They are more hardcore gamers than me so it truly is an amazing case!
Thanks Sergiiua and Custom Mod for the hard work you put in these cases!
I will add another post with build photos and comment on performance (and issues if any).
