  • Abstract:  If you could design your own ideal Mini-ITX PC case, what would you include in the specs? You'd probably want a case with a small footprint, as that's pretty much the reason to go small form factor in the first place. But you wouldn't want to compromise a...

  • Motherboardbased, sevenchannel fan controller, Extensive Water Cooling Support, Switchable Case Lighting, Room for Massive PSUs/GPUs
  • Price, Large Size for a Mini ITX Case
  • Although the Manta is large for a Mini ITX case, it should still be well received by those wanting to go small while still packing all out performance. Even though it may not be today's value winner, its sweeping curves and valued added features earn it...
