SilverStone Technology Small Form Factor Mini-ITX Computer Case with SFX Support ML09B-USA

The case seems well-made. It’s smaller than I expected, but still quite roomy for my needs. The cables on the Corsair SFX power supply I installed made it impossible for me to use the 2.5” drive bay, but no worries, it’s removable, and I was able to mount a 2.5” drive directly to the case in place of the 80mm fans. The 120mm fan leaves decent clearance above a low-profile cpu cooler, though I suspect it’d have to be removed if you were to install a slim optical drive. Overall, I was able to work in the case without too much trouble, and I’m happy with the overall size of the build.

Es un gabinete compacto, ideal para los formatos de tarjeta madre Mini-ITX y Mini-DTX (Dos bahías de expansión). Su acabado negro piano, permite una completa integración con los componentes de Teatro en Casa en el hogar. Tiene puertos USB 3.0 y una bahía multifunción para colocar una Unidad de Disco Duro mecánico tradicional, una Unidad Ópticas Slim o un ventilador incluido para mejorar el flujo de aire al interior, cuenta con filtro de polvo magnético, removible, lavable, para mantener libre de suciedad el interior de la computadora. 100% recomendado.

Just received the package. First, I liked the compact size of this itx case. Assembly was smooth with low profile GPU. Unfortunately, on arrival, the case has many scratches on the front panel and looks badly used. It's not new at all. That was not expected!

I bought this case because standing vertically it had just the right dimensions for the space I wanted to put it in. For that it does its job well. As compared to the mini case I was using before (InWin Chopin), it has lots more space inside for CPU cooling, which is nice. It includes another fan right above the motherboard - I didn't install it after realizing it's not a PWM fan and would just be on all the time.A few things to note:1) The product photos don't show what the bottom (if it's horizontal)/right side (if it's vertical) looks like. It's got lots of irregular indents for feet and round holes in it. If you want a case that looks decent on both sides when standing vertically, this isn't the best choice.2) The front panel is plastic or plastic-coated and right out of the box it already had a bunch of hairline scratches on it. This seems to be a common problem judging from the other reviews. It's frustrating because it would be easily fixed by shipping the case in a plastic bag or putting a protective film on the front. I think I'm going to try to buff them out but I really shouldn't have to make repairs on a new case.Overall the case is less aesthetically pleasing than the InWin Chopin I was coming from, which bums me out a little, but at double the volume it has more space for the power supply and cooling while still being compact and having a very similar footprint standing vertically.

Light, easy to move around, plenty of space to add extra parts. Must buy low profile parts.
