Have you used this case in a build of yours?

They make nice cases, I've used their tiny mini-itx node 202 multiple times last year when we build gaming rigs for the hospital. Considering the size, it was very capable, very easy to work in, and the quality was great for the price.
here is some info for the case you mentioned..

I've helped a friend build in one of those before. It's been a few years, but what do you want to know about it?

Thought it was new. I'm using this case in a new build. I was curious if anyone else had had any experience with it.

I'd say at least 3+ years old.. maybe more.

This case looks to me as if it were designed for maximum fans. Just a skeleton for fans.

This case is designed dumb. It is hard to get the top on. Once it's on, you can barely see the blue led fans underneath. Ditto with the front, or even more so. With the front in place, you can barely see the four blue led fans. As for moving the air into the case, I doubt it gets much air since the front is almost entirely blocked off with the airbrushed aluminum in place. Expressing my frustration with this Swedish design. Do not buy this case. It is much too expensive for what you get-a "cool" box for putting hard drives in.
