Classic stylish looks, great choice for microATX Ryzen workstation
This is a great case for a desktop Ryzen system. It looks good, it's small, doesn't need lots of space. The internal layout is similar to classic ATX cases. It can fit several 2.5" or two 3.5" hard drives, they mount sideways next to the lid. It supports three case fans in addition to the power supply fan: 80, 92 or 120mm front, 120mm side, 80 or 92mm rear. The side fan is offset below the cpu, so an upward-blowing cpu fan like the EVO picks up the cool outside air not the warm air from the bottom of the case.
And the power supply is on top, which is clever: the Ryzen 212 EVO cpu fan blows warm air up into the bottom of the power supply, and the PSU temperature-controlled 120mm fan pushes it out faster and more quietly than a 92mm rear case fan. With the power supply on top and and upward-blowing cpu fan, the case fans are optional, the power supply fan by itself vents warm air from the case.
The case is snug, not huge amounts of room for extra peripherals or ease of access to reconfigure hardware. There is good room for a simple system with hdd/vga/cpu/mem, but not for both multiple hard drives and multiple video cards, for example.
The photo shows my test build out of leftover parts: AM3+ cpu, 92mm rear fan, video built in, one 3.5" hard drive. DVD-RW would go on top. I took off the front bezel so the front fan mount can be seen. The bezel has vents and foam air filters built in to help the front fan. Oh, and it's thumbscrews everywhere.
