Thin Mini-ITX Computer Case for 1U Rackmount or Shelf mount- Model # INT-TX482-1U

It's a very nice case. Well built, aluminum frame with nice finish on the outside. In fact, for the appearance, material, and the quality, the case could be at higher price with other brand. As always, nothing perfect, this case has some issues.Power switch wiring: as others comment, the wire broke at the first attempt to slightly move it in order to place the mother board in the case. Luckily, I have tool to rework on the wire. Two things that contribute to the issue. The wire is way too small, the actual wire. And, pins from the switch are too short, there is not much for the shrink tubing to grad on, to provide the extra cover. Especially the 2 pins closed to the switch housing, there is no gap between the pin and the housing. So the shrink tubing can not grab much of the pin. I blame the switch designer more than the case designer.Another issue with this case is the standoff (where the mother board is mounted) height is shorter than usual standoff by about 0.15". I mount the Asus thin mini ITX H81T into this case. On the mobo, there are screws that hold the metal CPU bracket. These screws go thru to the bottom of the board. With the short standoff, these screws push again the bottom of the case. No way to mount the mobo this way. I have to grind off the screws to be flat with the CPU bottom plate. Then I could mount the mobo evenly. An extra step is to make sure that no pin from the mobo will touch the case when mounted. I guess the included clear lexan sheet serves the purpose.In all, I'm happy with the purchase. With some extra time and care, the case will serve its purpose as intended. It's look elegant too. But if you do not have a soldering iron, solder, shrink tubing to rework the power switch. Or a tool to adjust the length of the screws, you should be better off to skip this case.

Bought it, thinking I would be extra careful as others had indicated that the cable to the power led light gets disconnected. Unfortunately this did not work, it still came off.The case does what it supposed to and I liked the option of putting in additional fans, which can only be supported at bottom. Using it with a jetway board as a pfsense router, works nice and not overly hot, cpu at 46 c.The plastic at the bottom was a good touch, but did not like the support for the harddrive, found the floating end should not be supported on the board; my mother board it's over a capacitor. I removed it as i am using mstata.

Overall, a nice case. I purchased 2 of these as well as the faceplate to rack mount them both in a 1U space. That feature is what led me to choose this case. The case is built from solid materials and overall looks and works well. However, I knocked a couple of stars off for the very same reasons others have mentioned. Inteset really needs to address these, especially since I see these issues being raised by others from more than a year back.Issue 1The motherboard mounting points aren't quite right. I chose the Silverstone NT07-115X low-profile fans and 2 different ASUS thin ITX motherboards for my builds. The fans have a bottom plate that causes the motherboards to bind just a little when mounted. As one other reviewers noted; if the standoffs were just a few thousandths of an inch longer this wouldn't be an issue. You either need to live with the binding or grind the screws on the fan plate down a bit. With my ASUS Q87T/CSM motherboard I was not able to use the faceplate and get the screws to line up. I ended up leaving the faceplate off to get it mounted.Issue 2The power switch is a huge annoyance. If you don't have the tools and/or expertise to solder small parts, don't buy this case. One of mine came out of the box with one of the leads broken from the switch. The other broke two leads just from normal handling during assembly. They're easy enough to fix if you have the tools, expertise and patience, but you shouldn't need to fix them.Issue 3The cover screws precision is not the greatest. The holes don't quite line up. Add to the fact the screws are soft and you'll probably end up with a goofed up screw or two trying to get the cover on.

Great case! I've purchased 9 of these cases and haven't had any issues with them so far. One of the best features is that it two of them can be rack mounted side by side with an optional rack mount kit.

This is a very attractive and well designed case that can either stand alone (as shown) or be rack mounted with an optional set of mounting brackets.But, please note that even though the description says "some of these boards will require the purchase of a low profile CPU cooler" the reality is that ALL of those boards will require a low profile CPU cooler. It is not possible to use the stock CPU cooler from a retail Intel Celeron, Pentium or Core i3/i5/i7 processor.

This is such a great case for housing items that need a 1U footprint. Hope they keep making them because it is hard to find such a box.

Worked exactly as planned - two side-by-side with a rack-mount faceplate. Good appearance and quality. Except for the power switch. Hard not to break off the resistor soldered directly to the pin while installing the motherboard, but easy to repair.

It's build so solid yet compact. With the elegant brushed aluminium bezel(cover) and blue status light it is a conversation piece that looks great on my desk.
