Spot on. Absolutely spot on. Budget case typically has budget components inside. Surely that's the main purpose of the CH160 to give builders a taste of mini itx while being friendly to start off with an ATX PSU. A reused tower cooler. Some fans etc. It's an entry point. Or a starter SFF kit if you like. Plus no need for risers etc.
ahh man i cant wait!!! i just got a bunch of new parts for my budget itx build didnt cheap out either im super happy itll have a ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti and the motherborad is b550i aorus pro ax and a 650 mini pus evga and some others.. i cant wait to put it all together gonna be for my tv/emulation beast all the ps1 ps2 will gamecube and some other games id like to play while on the couch .. parts been sitting in my backroom for about a month now i just gotta put it together when i feel like stressing out xD tight fit for everything i got going for it .. and i have zero zip ties now that i think bout it needs them also cheers everyone happy itx day :D
I think it's not possible to give the pros and cons with this terrible configuration, being a mini itx you should maximize the build, I did it and it's truly fantastic with very low temperatures! leaving your components it would be better to create the build like this, first of all remove that terrible ATX PSU which only blocks air and insert an SFX PSU suitable precisely for this system. get rid of that stock amd heatsink which is terrible in every situation, really bad, and instead install a nice air heatsink like a Deepcool Assassins 4 or 4s (or a nice be quiet or a Noctua), then enrich the build with a good 120 forward fan that brings air inside the case, a fan on the top that brings air out of the case and another fan behind which always brings air out of the case, this is an instant Airflow case for this case! I have it with a Ryzen 9 5900X inside, 32GB RAM obviously at 3600Mhz (no less), and an RTX 4070 Ti, all with maximum in-game temperatures not above 70c degrees in the height of summer (same temperatures more or less tested on very large houses) while when it is cooler it has very normal temperatures below 70c
I humbly disagree and I think you might have missed the point of why I structured the video with this spec This is marketed as a budget ITX case. Therefore I went with a budget configuration. It's not wrong to put a powerful system in here at all, but every reviewer has already done that so I would not be adding anything by just doing the same. I came at this from the angle of someone with a limited budget but wants a compact system. And on a budget, it makes no sense to get an SFX unit which is double the cost, nor does a 65w AM4 chip need any kind of elaborate cooling. I think I did mention in this video that an SFX unit is preferable regardless I'm pleased that you're happy with your system, but don't forget that many people aren't fortunate enough to have the cash for a high end system I hope that helps
As the humble weatherman stated: 1. This is a budget build, with/for a budget case. There are plenty 1k+ builds on TH-cam. 2. The main criticism is the case could be a bit longer (maybe less wider to preserve SFF volume), that would increase the selection for compatible high end, 3 fan GPUs and/along with ATX PSUs on the side, both of which would be greatly appreciated by most.

Glad I got one before they were taken off the market in the US
Yeah that was a big surprise when I heard about it

Love that enthusiasm!! Enjoy your build
I love how u talking about the review in a rainy day with a umbrella
British weather...
amazing video thank you
Love the idea and concept, supermodel Doc, but don't tell your Mum. Well narrated.👍 p.s. Love the British weather.
can you put sata ssd sideways so it doesn't stick out like that in the front?
i like it. so realistic
