Great airflow is essential to any PC, especially Gaming PCs that will often be pushing their hardware to the limits.

Nonetheless, this remains an excellent choice for people who want the power of a powerful Gaming or Workstation PC and reasonable portability. Any cases of this size can only house Mini-ITX motherboards and other Mini-ITX compatible components. Mini-ITX cases have severe space limitations. This is one of the most compact and popular form factors in use today. Due to this tower’s diminutive stature, it can’t house any motherboards larger than the MATX form factor. However, this does come with the advantage of better portability and a more compact size.
