SilverStone SST-ML08B - Milo Slim HTPC Mini-ITX Computer Case, black

Brilliant case. My only criticism is stand/feet. Wish they included screw in feet, as the plastic things don't stay in place, and nor do the stick on rubber ones.The design itself is absolute genius; easy to build with, an astoundingly efficient use of space, and stays impressively cool

I bought this case with the intention of building a medium specs desktop PC for running Linux on it. I was concerned because of the complains in other reviews about the temperature, however, I haven’t had any issue. The assembly was pretty trivial to the point that my parter built it (she wanted to learn how to build a computer and this was her first time) with slight supervision from my part.The case is compact, with a convenient handle for transportation (although I would be very careful while carrying it as the handle is made of plastic).

The height of this case is roughly the same height as a 24" monitor and that itself is impressive, the case is passively cooled. Meaning that there are no spaces in the cases to mount fans, you can fit a decently long GPU in this case no bother but really watch out for the height of your gpu otherwise you won't be able to use the gpu secure mount, I used an RX nitro oc+ from Sapphire and it's just about 2/3mm too tall to use so I'm going to have to remove the GPU everytime I go travel with it, which is ok. but other than that it's a nice sturdy case, good looking and incredible easy to build in.

I love this case. Thought it was going to be a little bit cramped inside and was worried since this was my first build, but everything went smoothly. The instructions were very clear. The PC is tight, portable and powerful.Just one small nitpick, the power and reset buttons are a bit hard to press, so you have to hold the case to make sure it doesn't slide on the table.

Pros:A nice looking case, easy to assemble and install all of the small form factor components. Allows for ample expansion inside with 2 x SSD drives and a full length GPU (mine is a GTX 1070 Ti). Good to have 2 x USB 3.0 on the front panel, behind the slide down 'V'. It allows a 58mm high CPU cooler, which provides enough choice in the low profile cooler department. I chose a Noctua NH-L9A-AM4 to go with my Ryzen 2700X.Cons:There is no provision for chassis cooling. I guess this is the trade off with such a small case, with a good part of the room reserved for a full length GPU. That said ... there is space for 2 x 92mm, but no mounting options. When I finished building the system (spec below), it ran very hot ... hotter than any other build. Temperatures were 65c on idle, and 88c on load (FurMark GPU stress test). Note, it did not make much of a difference if I had the case horizontal or vertical. The hot air generated by the CPU cannot easily escape, leading to build up within the case. This then heats the GPU, and causes the GPU fans to kick in, sooner than it would have under normal conditions.Additionally, the build quality clip-on side panels are sub-standard. They affix to the case side panels with 6 plastic tabs. The are 2 vents, one for each side of the case. One of the clip-on vents arrived with 2 of its tabs snapped off, loose in the packaging. I reported this to Amazon and they wanted me to return the vent to them, before sending me a replacement vent. I couldn't be bothered, so I settled for 20% discount (roughly £14 out of the £76 I paid for the case). See photos of damage.Spec:Motherboard: ASRock Mini-ITX - AB350 GAMING-ITX/ACCPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X ProcessorCooler: Noctua NH-L9A-AM4RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8GB)PSU: Corsair SF Series SF600 SFX 600 WSSD: Kingston SSD A400GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Cerberus A8G 8 GBFix:To fix the overheating problem, I mounted 2 x 92mm Artic F9 PWM fans to the side panel (CPU side), within the vent area. One of the fans directed cool air into system, directly on top of the CPU cooler (Noctua NH-L9A-AM4), effectively piggy backing the existing CPU cooler fan, with about a 5mm gap in between. The second fan is sucking hot air out of the system. This is placed just above the SFX power supply, there is just enough room if you cable tie you wire back. Understandably, you have to drill holes in the side panel to mount the fans to it. These fans are very quiet and adds little noise to it. But more importantly, the temperatures have drastically reduced. It runs at 38c on idle, and 62c at load. I have attached photos of the modification, hopefully this will help someone.

Wonderful case, excellent spacing for components, however just a little fidgetty when making your cable management look good.Every came undamaged and nothing missing, i would definetly reccomend if youre looking for an easy and small m-itx case

The side panels are weak and fiddly to fit, they also warp
