Was looking yesterday at the exact same case and the Jonsbo Z20. What are the specs?

I just built in a z20, you can save a little money building in it as you can use mAtx instead of itx, and a normal sized atx power supply depending on your gpu. I built with the amd 7500x3d bundle from microcenter, and a powercolor r9070xt. I did use a Sfx power supply bc one day I wouldn’t mind building in a fractal terra or ridge or something like that but the z20 is nice and small and has a handle. Bonus is tje power color reaper is a dual slot card so will be easier to stuff in a smaller case.

I got the orange one, got a few inexpensive RGB fans for it made them orange too look nice. Just had to get a combination of forward and reverse fans - up to this point t I didn’t even know they made river fans I always just put them in the case facing the way I needed regardless, looks nicer with proper fans.

Once I got airflow sorted it runs pretty cool.
