That ITX case looks promising. I like how it looks. I'm not sure about CPU cooling, but even air cooled I think you can use an 7800x3D with undervolting.
I recently bought Antecs Dark Cube case, before it becomes unavailable or something. Though I may look into this ITX/SFF case too.. not too sure, still gotta wait for Arrow lake, Z890, and the next lineup of GPU's to release. Planing on a compact build for my semi truck to replace my old Alienware Area 51m laptop. (That was supposed to be upgradable lol) Budget isn't really an issue for me, mainly its getting everything I want to fit, and stand up to the somewhat brutal conditions on our decaying road lol. My biggest concern would be how the GPU is mounted in a traditional setup, and air tower coolers on CPU's.. all the vibrations and shock from the road. A horizontal layout would curb that issue a lot, but options for cases like that, and fitting them where I'd need them is limiting. Those 3200 RPM fans have certainly perked my interest, other channels seemed to have skimmed over them without much insight.. Noise isn't a concern for me when I've always got a 15 liter diesel engine idling away to run the AC and my Inverter lol. Diesel powered gaming setup lol.😅
Oh god no... so the Performance 1M is basically a DAN A4 with a bit more clearance for fans and a moveable spine but the PSU mounts the same way + it GPU even sits lower than the motherboard and I can't tell if it has better placements for 2,5" HDD/SSDs if at all.... I mean it looks stylish as heck but are they debutants in ITX cases?? I just realized the additional clearance is probably just for the new 12+4pin power cables to stay in line with the 3,5cm - no bend - recommendation ...ugh >.>
Checking out the interior, slim fans and slim radiators may be possible so you could use a socket-mounted pump/res combo maybe. Not impossible but yeah out of the box AIO support would have been good. Still, it's one of the smallest ITX cases from a mainstream manufacturer with big GPU support. We just need to wait for the official CPU height limit details
@@CrazyTechLab only place for the radiator would be the bottom. That's not ideal for pump life at all. Bottom also is generally very restrictive for intake fans. Would have been better to use top fans for exhaust, which would have also allowed idea slim radiator placement. I do like the red interior though. It's an almost...
@@the12gaugeshotty If it's a custom loop then pump life won't be an issue - orientation is only important for AIOs as the reservoir is typically in the radiator so air can get trapped in the pump. With a custom loop with a pump/block combo, which you'd likely have to use with this, the reservoir is in the pump section and also the flow rate is far higher so air bubbles tend not to get lodged in the pump and eventually get bled from the coolant.
I love that color combo. I agree about potentially getting some slim watercooling components in the bottom but agree with others that more space in the roof including option for a 240 AIO would have been nice. Still, looks like a sweet case depending on price and the CPU heatsink height limit. Well done Antec

Nice SFF case but huge miss on lack of AIO support. Would be air cooled only and that also means low power CPUs.

Looks like I'm late
ITX looks great, functionally 1/10.
