We have a new rival for largest ITX case. Coming in at just a sip under 51L, it's only 5.3L smaller than the Thermaltake Core X1.

I will say one thing, it's a nice looking case.

That front design looks awful and it wastes so much volume. I like some of the details but its general design reminds me too much of a designer that is shown the recent In-Win cases, doesn't understand why anyone would buy them, is asked to make something like those and comes up with this. >50L is insane but with extended panels, massive gaps between panels, extreme protruding screws and for some reason an I/O cluster that can house a Raspberry Pi or two, it makes sense.

I see some good watercooling potential with its bigger brother the MOD1 BR. But the reason the Mini version looks oddly proportioned is likely because the design of the bigger case came first (which suits that case better), and then they probably made some kind of attempt to shrink it down but it doesn't turn out as well.

I guess if you eliminate all the fluff on the edges- stuff sticking out or panels for design- this is not much bigger than a FD Nano S. Cases that size still seem a bit too big.

The looks are nice
What do you like about it? Because to me, the materials look nice and that's about it. The design itself is an abomination - random angles and stuff sticking out every which way, giant logo plastered on the side. I honestly can't fathom why anyone would like it.

Am I supposed to give a scientific reason for why I like the artistic value of something?

Art and design is subjective. There's a reason why there are so many different car styles, house styles, etc.

I hate it.
I mean the glass design is nice and all, but I don't like how all the panels are raised, both from an aesthetic standpoint and also because I imagine you have no control over dust buildup.

I also never understand why they make cases so big and don't even let you put mATX in them.
