Mini ITX Case review (Tom's Hardware)

As an avid mini builder, I thought I would pass this review on to all. It is a very good review in regards to finding that right Mini-ITX case for your build. He pretty much nails it in regards to his comparisons. This form factor is the most difficult to find a functional case for, as it generally is hit and miss in regards to case size, stock cooler heights, expansion cards, and power supplies etc. I have wasted a few bucks in my days figuring these things out as the descriptions and specs can be absent or misleading. Hope this helps someone out there who may be considering a mini build.

It's not cheap, but I think I'd use the Lian-Li for the boat. The biggest selling points are the ability to take a standard ATX PSU and standard size drives.
