CiT Slim Micro ATX or Mini ITX Case with Built-in Card Reader and 300W PSU - Black

I note the other reviews have given it 1 star for being noisy.I actually find the case tolerable and put under the desk and away from eye line its fine. At the end of the day with cases you get what you pay for. For a case with PSU, it does the job. I have purchased cases up to £400 in cost (HTPC builds) and those are quality and silent (no fans).This case was delivered promptly and comes in 2 pieces, main until and a screw on stand. The case can be laid flat or stood vertical (hence the stand).The PSU isn't the best but its 300w and sufficient to power most budget PC's, just not high end graphics or tons of hard drives.Opening the lid it pretty easy, and once inside the case has ATX power supply, 12v 4 pin, power for 2 sata devices without need for splitters or adapters.The front controls all have colour coded clear labels, just note the back of each connector has an arrow which denotes positive. there is also a case fan and 2 usb connections required from front panel. Make sure you have these free on your motherboard to be installed.Pleased with it, has a certain style - would definitely recommend to those on budget.ALSO NOTE: Doesn't come with kettle lead, need to order separately.

Quality of build and a very quiet inbuilt PSU...most in-built PSUs are cheap and noisy, like they've had to hunt around hard to find the naffest one they can. But this one is pretty good. Excellent case for downsizing one of those enormnous cases full of CD and DVD drives etc, which you don't need any more (although one can be fitted here, there's space). Takes up to the full-square size in micro ATX boards. Add-in cards can be obtained these days with half-size fittings, if you check before buying.

This case is small and looks very nice .good quality made.I must disagree with other buyers about the power supply noiseit may not be the most silent of all but nothing to complain about.Would recommended to any one looking for a small micro atx case which looks nice.

Good quality, nice compact size, ideal where space is tight.

This is a really nice slim PC case. Well finished, for the price, and quite clever inside. HDs/SSDs are mounted using an ingenious hinged (and removable) frame, making installation of the drives a breeze. I was able to mount a standard 3½" HD and a 2½" SSD (with caddy) into the PC with amazing ease.This case is really, really slim! It only accepts low-profile expansion cards, but that was okay for me as I used a low-profile GT710 graphics card in my build. Also, make sure your CPU cooler is quite shallow too. The case won't accommodate the "tower" type of heatsinks.There's a nicely placed 80mm case fan on top of the unit and this is actually very good. I could not have chosen a better position for the case fan, and it keeps the interior very cool indeed, even at low speed curve settings.The only negative with this case is the PSU fan. Crikey freaking Moses, I was gobsmacked by how much noise this fan created! The thing was like a demented hairdryer having a purple fit whilst being selotaped to a jet engine. I was determined to remedy the situation, which was not that straightforward... I removed the PSU, took the case apart, removed the fan, and installed a replacement 80mm fan that was then wired to the motherboard "case fan" header connector, via a splitter adapter. This resulted in an infinitely quieter PSU and now the speed was controllerable.Okay, so the overall result is very pleasing; But I've marked the star rating down by 2 stars because of the PSU fan shenanigans.

Although the case is great looking , it is definitely not a m-atx. I had to remove the mounting parts and the power supply in order to fit the m-atx inside. Also had to rotate the power supply and screw it from outside in order to fit inside and used some tape to hold it on the top. After doing that there is space only for an ssd which you must screw from the outside to support it again . As for the power supply , NOISY. After doing that there's no room for hdd or DVD. VERY VERY VERY disappointed,they should change the discretion to ITX OR MINI ATX .

Great case fits in the smallest of spaces. All the components easy to attach to the motherboard as they are CLEARLY labled :)
