Linkworld Computer Case Slim PC Case Mini ITX Black

Disappointed as it doesn't accommodate the standard Mini-ITX PCI-e position with a rear slot/cover. In fact it's placed the power jack socket right where that slot should be. I just can't see any good reason why and intend to relocate the power and use my hand drill to tailor make antenna access where the PCI-e slot should be, and so enable a internal dual DVB-T2 tuner.Otherwise, I like this great little compact case! it's well engineered, solid and looks great as a HTPC. I have a completely silent, fan-less rig and this case provides enough ventilation even with it's case fan removed. An MSI AM1I fits great and accommodates a mini PCIe WiFi/bluetooth card along with a fan-less AMD 5330 APU.Work space is tight, make sure to keep wiring NEAT and get your M/B & back-plate in first before the DVD, and disks. Load the peripheral cradle then ensure it's hooks are fitted into the slots in the bottom of the case before using the screws.The case naturally takes a DVD with either a 3.5 or 2.5 disk, or no DVD and both 2.5 and 3.5 disks.However, I've re-engineered a little to shoehorn in all 3, a 2.5 SSD, a 3TB WD Green 3.5 disk and a DVD. Needed additional molex to twin sata wires, a USB/sata bridge adapter and a M/B header to internal USB adapter. The case power supply was fine as was temperature. Still space to replace both the case and cpu fans if needed.So this great looking case can pack a lot into it's condensed footprint.

Very good value case. This is ideal if you have a Mini ITX system and wish to fit it into a smaller space. The height/width is not much bigger than the board itself though the case is quite long to accommodate the DVD drive without the extra height.Surprisingly this case also includes a PSU (ATX 12V internal board and an external 100-250VAC to 12VDC external brick) and a card reader for SD and Memory Stick cards, USB ports and audio ports. It also even includes a slimline SATA drive to standard SATA cable. The fan was supplied with a molex connector to 5V too which means it runs quiet.If there was any criticism it's that the front plastic scratches quite easily and the hard drive is tricky to disconnect/replace as you need to remove the whole caddy for the slimline drive first.All-in-all though a bargain case for the money.

Too small to install the hardware without risking damaging it. Carefully assembly resulted in a scratched fascia on the optical drive from a concealed sharp edge. After several attempts to get the drive chassis in I concluded it cannot be done with the main board in, but then you also cannot get the main board in with the drive chassis in. The chassis literally needs to be 5mm larger in each direction to get every thing in. Dumped the case in the spares bin. Ordered a Antec ISK300 instead.

Good case, had to strip out the power supply that it came with and fit a more powerful psu and adaptor.

Small compact case, good design and really cool blue light at the front. Lokks a bit a like a stuck Cylon.
