I recently moved my build into the Metis Plus while I am waiting on my sweet Custom_MOD Mini from sergiiua and wanted to keep a record on here of the experience.
This is my first build using mostly Used parts. I got the cpu, mobo, and gpu from /r/hardwareswap. The psu, ssd, and case were bought on sale from Newegg. The ram was initially used in my micro ATX build, but I upgraded that build to 16GB of 3200MHz.
I put the parts in a Cooler Master N200 to test and wait, but that got really old really quick because I like space on my desk. The Metis Plus went on sale a few weeks later, so I had to have one. The case is really well made. All aluminum, and can be completely disassembled with a screwdriver (no rivets!!) for building/painting/modding or whatever else. It comes with a color matched LED 3-pin fan, which is nice visually, but the sound is like a jet taking off. Working in the case is SUPER easy, and if something is in the way or hard to get to, don't worry, remove two or three screws and it's in your hands!
At the price I paid ($64US) I would have a hard time getting a better case for what I wanted to do, and I am very happy with it. It will be my linux development build for a while, then my LAN build once the Custom_MOD case comes in. Can't wait!
