That would be funny as hell lol. Have an entire video for just the review of the cat. Might end up being one of the highest watch count videos on the channel 🤣
I concur, it's aesthetic perfection throughout on this channel! How wonderful to see, so many people these days have no sense of aesthetics anymore, or just don't want to take the time.
Great video. The graphics really help explain the layout options. One note: For $50 you can also get a gpu riser cable and bracket for this case from Lian Li.
This is like my perfect case. I got a ATX case and hardware. But I need it smaller to fit into where I need it to be without needing to be super small. Thickness I found is hardly ever a barrier, whereas height has always been in fitting into places. I really can't believe people didn't think of this earlier. People just look at "tower" and decides their case designs need to be a tower.
I think you need to create a channel called Optimum Cat too. With your shooting and editing skills, you could make the ultimate cat videos. Jam is absolutely star quality.
You're channel is just top tier. Clearly you show care and high production value into your brand with amazing detail and content. You deserve so much more recognition.
I was going to make the same comment about PSU support, was considering this as a slightly less imposing replacement to my O11D, but I really don't want to add an extra PSU to the cost of moving over from ATX to ITX. I think I'm going to stick to plan A and grab a NR200P now that they offer an ATX PSU bracket 3d print file for it.
Your TL;DR at the end was perfect for me. I have been looking to get the O11 for a good while now, but this one is beyond perfectly compact for the build I've been planning this entire time. No wasted space for my planned build. Thank you for the review!
[edit - referred to a micro ATX case when I meant to use mini ITX] An ITX board will fit in *any* ATX case (or even eATX cases) so referring to a case that will take an ATX case as a -micro ATX- mini ITX case is like referring to a 7 seater minivan as a two-seater sports-van because it's possible to just have two people in it.
@@handlealreadytaken he was literally providing more depth in support of OP's comment, as cleared up in his second response. Do you think an ATX case should be referred to as an ITX case because it's smaller than usual ATX cases? Because you just implied someone's lack of intelligence for advocating against that. Maybe just don't be a dick to people for no reason.
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but that cat is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. my GF caught me watchin the review and since then she's obsessed with the cat and how bad she wants it :D thanks for the quality vid! I prefer this case to the predecessor, but I would pick the cat, even tough I'm a dog person haha
Nice review, but I feel like CPU cooler height should have been talked about. The main advantage you're gaining from that SFX power supply only limitation is that there is increased CPU cooler height. Which means the mini should be able to fit large air cooler towers, like the Noctua nhd15. This is something that wasn't possible in the larger pc-o11. I think that makes this case intriguing for people looking to do strictly aircooled builds.
Very pleasent video, awesome case/build, but... THE CAT!!! That's the star of the show, my friend!!! I think we all want him, showing up more in your videos!
Always an ATX fan but after watching your stellar channel, been moving towards the 'small footprint' category. Would love to see a review of the Sliger SV540 vs the 580 and other similar "small footprint" cases
This is the easily the best case to migrate from a fullsize atx build to a smaller form factor. The only downsize is you'd have to get a sfx psu. This can even fit a NH-D15 in it!
The cat adds a nice reference scale. Please keep some form of reference on your bench to provide scale as your camera desk setup means it's hard to judge sizes.
So unfortunate how they couldn't allow a full size PSU to fit in this case, considering how large it came out to be and the fact that it fits an ATX board.
This case shows that there needs to be a clear distinction between an ‘ITX case’ and a ‘SSF case’. I would say that’s case being designed for ITX does not mean that it is a small form factor case and shouldn’t be expected to be small form factor
Why isn't anybody getting this case? This is the case that tells the world how all computer cases should be about: flexibility! There's always a chasis for this form factor or the other, but there hasn't been any that adapts to either, until this one. What if over time you decide to change your MoBo form factor. I can give you that it only takes SFX/-L PSUs, but you have so many options here, and it looks gorgeous!
Ali, thanks for this review. This is by far the most informative video on this case;you sold me on it... While I will just be migrating my current ATX system into it for now, I think this is going to be my gateway drug to ITX builds. I now have an SF 750 that I will be able to migrate from this case to another smaller one if I get tired of this form factor
I just bought it . It has to be close. I'll see the case deep inside. I think is the most esteticly done case ever. I bought the black and white version.
Wow! you saved me from buying the wrong radiator! thank you so much. I just ordered this case in white and the gigabyte b550 vision d almost bought a 360 rad thinking it would fit. so glad I found your channel a couple weeks ago. SUBSCRIBE people this man gets to the points and speaks so clearly without repeating himself like other reviewers.
Lian Li just announced the O11D Mini Airflow with ATX psu support, incredibly excited for that. I had just ordered a Lancool II Mesh, but I'm returning that without even opening the box because the O11D Mini Airflow is exactly what I was looking for
great video, however, you can definitely fit a 360 mm radiator on the top with full size mobo with very slight modification. you can offset the radiator closer to the glass as you did in the video, and use extension brackets and zipties to secure.

with full ATX PSUs it would just be way too wide.

seriously my favourite mitx/pc tech youtuber, so underrated! Love your filming style.
people call this an itx case. i think they should market it as a mini atx case as that what it fits best imo
