I want this case but it only uses a mini-ITX motherboard, which limits your options. I'm a PC gamer. Not sure this will work.

It was designed for that purpose in mind, it's a LAN case. If you look at BitFenix's Faceboook site, they show plenty of people using watercooling setups. You can get z77 mITX boards, but you won't be running SLI or Xfire setups.

I just finished a build for my family using this case. It's super nice. As long as you don't need a bunch of PCI cards it's a great setup. It'll take a full length GPU though..

it's rather large for an ITX case, which I like. I built an HTPC with this case, but it has plenty of room for a full size video card.

Nice deal. Won an editor's choice award on AT and it's $20 - $30 more expensive on Newegg.

Yeah, you'd be limited to a single GeForce GTX 690, so can't really game with it. :sneaky:

This is something to be noted.. I just helped my roommate build one. While overall it's a pretty compact and light case, it is actually rather wide (wider than my 650D).

The limited selection of motherboards is what concerns me.

A guy on Overclockers forums got a hold of a shuttle itx board that has 2 PCIe slots. While not an easy board to come across, he did manage to pull SLI off. I have the case with the ASRock board + a basic AIO water cooling setup, I love it. It's weird because as an iTX case it's ginormous, but it's tons smaller that my Corsair 600t was.

The limited selection of motherboards is what concerns me.

Newegg lists a whopping TWENTY SEVEN different socket 1155 ITX motherboards.

Enthusiast? There are SIX different Z77 chipset ITX motherboards from five vendors. Asus has two models (difference is one has WiDi - wireless display, like some notebooks have). Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock, Zotac and EVGA each has one. I have seen reports of 4.8GHz overclocks on the ASRock. Prices range from $130-200 for the Z77 (though one is on sale right now with Newegg coupon code for $117).

Totally limiting, I assure you.
