ID-Cooling's Fully-Aluminum T60-SFX Case Arrives, Bargain At $80
ID-Cooling's T60-SFX case is ideal for simple and compact Mini-ITX builds.
After waiting a couple of months since we first saw it at Computex 2014, ID-Cooling is officially releasing its T60-SFX gaming enclosure. This is a Mini-ITX case built to house a powerful gaming system in a small footprint. Back at Computex, we gave this case a Best of Computex 2014 award.
The case is made completely out of aluminum and will be available in a number of color options. Inside the case there is room for a Mini-ITX motherboard, an SFX format power supply, a dual-slot graphics card up to 260 mm long and either one 3.5" drive or two 2.5" drives. CPU coolers up to 124 mm tall can fit, although the storage bays do interfere with clearance.
Rear exhaust is handled by a single 92 mm fan. Air intake for cooling comes from the bottom of the case, as well as a handful of vents. Cooling might not be the case's strongest point, but it looks like it will cool adequately enough for mid-range gaming systems, and the aluminum chassis should also help with some heat dissipation.
Pricing for the case is set at $79.99, which is actually a very good deal, as aluminum cases often cost quite a bit more.

However the lack of a Slim Optical Drive for a Blu-Ray drive might be a problem for some and not much for room for more then 1 3.5 HDD to store all your movies.
So if you had two of these, would you be dual-"wielding"?
@Bean007: I see this not aimed at HTPCs so much as people who need portable gaming rigs... college students, or LAN gamers, or kids with separated parents...

Never said it was aimed at HTPC. I just said because of it's size that it could be but with a few problems with doing so.
Gotcha.
Haha that's hilarious, and I'm not usually into correcting grammar.
But this thing is just too damn good looking for me

well that got really sad at the end there
Dedicated gamers love dedicated GPUs.
Unfortunately I had a 480 GTX at the time and that thing just ran WAY to hot for such tiny cases and I had to go back to something larger.
