Not really a their take on it as it's about twice the size of the HZXT H1. This isnt even considered SFF.
Normal prices if purchased separately are $453 so its only a $40 saving
I wouldn't call that twice the size unless you're counting litres of course ;)
Good thing I never called it an SFF. I said mini ITX for the pedantic members of the community.
The NZXT H1 is SFF and you were comparing to that.
@Clear: IMO if an ITX case isn't SFF it's not really worth it. Better to just go up a few litres to m-ATX for cheaper components and better compatibility
@caffeine69: Nobody:
Literally Nobody:
@caffeine69: Gatekeeping what SFF isNobody asked lmao, the company defined it as SFF that thats what theyre marketing it as lmao
@OzBanged: Precisely why I said IMO. To each their own, friend.
I'm no SFF purist, that's just my personal opinion. Many even consider <15L to be true SFF. I myself have an NR200 (18L) which I consider to be the perfect balance between component compatiblity, price, aesthetics and thermal/noise performance. I just feel that this case (the Silverstone) uses its space somewhat inefficiently and that there are better alternatives +/- 5-7 litres. Such as the CM Q500L (mATX, 33L), InWin 301 (mATX, 26L) or the aforementioned CM NR200 (ITX, but better use of space)

tl;dw
- 26L for an ITX case (NZXT H1 is 13.6L)
- Exterior is mainly glass (may be a positive)
- GPU thermal issues due to it being almost completely choked for fresh airAt this price, I'd personally wait for another H1 deal
Edit: Apparently this "AF" version has better GPU airflow, my mistake
Normal prices if purchased separately are $453 so its only a $40 saving. Works out the same as buying the non AF version for $129 (https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/cases/mini-itx/76638-sst…), then buying 2 fans. At least then you can pick your fans and would end up quieter
$129+$169+$95=$393 + 2x120mm fansBoth fans that come on the AF version are "DC fans that are pinned at 1300rpm….i'd highly reccomend replacing these as they are quite loud"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAekkmiLPDYOh so paying $40 more is a better deal. You're a very crappy OzBargainer if you're spending more.
Where did i say it costs $40 more? You might need to read what i wrote again
Where is it cheaper to make your neg valid?
@Clear: Buy the non AF version for $129 with the same PSU and cooler. Total comes to $393. Then buy 2x120mm fans of your choice.
The fans that come in the AF version are loud and non variable speed and recommended to be changed anyway
$40 still only less than 10%. Better than nothing but not exactly a deal imo.
Nevermind, the site i checked said it was the same but only difference was fans.
anyone have advice on what case to get for a budget gaming micro atx build?
Phanteks P300A
Cooler Master NR400
Fractal Design Focus G Mini
Corsair 4000D+1 to the Phanteks P300A. An excellent case I've used before!
Thank you, those suggestions look very promising. Will hold out for possible black friday sales.
For a budget case, you really missed out a few days ago but I think it still pretty good value at the $70 mark…
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/581322If you're really on a tight budget though, ITX is not your friend, everythings more expensive… And I've seen mATX cases that are literally smaller that some ITX cases from NZXT etc.
I have this, I like it a lot, my only regret is that I couldn't find the "chocolate version"
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/T3rG3C/cooler-master-cas…(if you're going to put a Optical Drive in, make sure it meets the supported ODD dimensions, all you'll have it sticking out a bit at the front, jimbo style)
Yeh i saw that deal but thats a mini itx and my micro mobo wont fit. Thanks for the suggestion.
Posting too late at night, not reading properly, sorry… The last one I linked it mATX though.
I like this, though I'm not sure its really "budget" and I got it for $80
(I have a lot of computers)

Thermaltake Versa H17 or H18 (mesh front), easy build, space for radiators.
Nice. I don't need the case but I do need a new PSU and cooler. Hopefully black friday has something for me.
