Morex T3410 Silent, Fanless VESA Mini-ITX Case w/60W PS

Crammed an ECS Mini ITX with a J1800 Celeron chip and a 120gb SSD into this box. It took about 30 minutes to open, install everything and smoosh it all back together. The j1800 sips about 10 watts, so it's more than covered by the 60 watt PSU. An hour after putting it together I had XBMC streaming live HD television to the TV in my bedroom. No stutters or any other hang ups (besides messing around with Pulse Audio... but what else is new). Considering this thing comes with the PSU and is completely silent, it's a great buy. If I needed another quick media center/front end, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one.Oh! I do have one complaint... no reset button and I thought it was strange that it had a dedicated mobo pigtail/led for LAN activity. I really don't need that many blinking lights on the front of my media center. Just let me know you're on and I'll be happy. Anyway, 5 stars for a rock solid, tiny, well designed Mini ITX case.

I received the unit with a malfunctioning power supply. Go figure. Apparently others here have complained of similar.I really did like the general shape and size of the case, so I decided to keep it and just get a pico power supply to replace the damaged one.The case is a little bit cramped inside, but that's a given because of just how small it is. I ended up modifying the case, adding two additional fans and one heck of a paint job!

The power supply in mine was DOA. Returned it for a refund, but by then there were no more available for sale. Bought an Antec instead, which was a much better thought out design for the same money. Would not recommend this; there are better options out there.

What you see is what you get with this case for the most part. It's a nice looking design and sturdily built. I did however run into some issues with motherboards fitting, but that may be more a product of the motherboard designs than the case design.I originally purchased the MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 motherboard but unfortunately it didn't fit at all (the 2.5" drive tray gets in the way of even the slimmest cpu fan and the top of the case can't close either). The second motherboard I purchased for this case was the ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ FM2+ which also had some issues fitting (the 2.5" drive tray gets in the way of the cpu fan) but if you just don't use the drive tray and slip your 2.5" SSD inside it will fit snugly without shifting around, so that was a fine solution for me. Like I said, probably has something more to do with the design of FM2 boards than the case.What you should look for in motherboard compatibility with this case is to make sure the cpu location on the motherboard is as far left (facing the front of the case) as possible. This will ensure that the cpu fan is positioned far enough from the drive tray to make it usable and also under the grated part of the case so it can close and flow air properly.The fact that the case itself comes with the ability to lay it flat or stand straight up AND mount behind a TV is pretty nice. I just wish there was a manual to tell me how to remove the rounded part of the case before I broke the thing trying to get it off to replace it with the mounting piece. (Push down and twist counter clockwise).The only other very minor issue I had was that the blue LED light is really bright, but I am using it in my bedroom so that's probably just more personal preference. It's also a really easy and cheap thing to remedy.Overall this is a really nice, super tiny, case that as long as you make sure your motherboard will fit with, is a very cost effective find for a build.PROS:- nice looking and sturdy- as small as a case gets- 2 USB on the front panel- air flow not an issueCONS:- super bright LED light- potential layout issues with FM2 boards (see above for help)

PSU was DOA. Assembly and disassembly could have been simpler.
