Case that folds around a mini-ITX motherboard launches on January 30 — 200W 80 Plus PSU included
This unique case for a multimedia PC will be available in retailers next week.

The Geometric Future Model 0 Flamingo Small Form Factor PC case will soon hit retail stores a little over six months after we first spotted the case at Computex 2024. According to Japanese importer Dirac on X (formerly Twitter), the company will release it on January 30, and it comes with an 80 Plus Bronze-certified 200W dedicated power supply.
This 3-liter mini-PC case is unique because of its patented folding case design, where the panels are folded onto the motherboard and PSU like an origami box. It also uses magnets to secure these panels, allowing for a tool-free build.
The case is small and can only accommodate a mini-ITX motherboard. It also has no expansion slots, so you cannot put a discrete GPU on your build. Despite that, it has a massive mesh top circle, ensuring your CPU can breathe easily, and tons of smaller ventilation holes. It can also accommodate a heatsink up to 60mm, allowing you to get decent cooling for your processor.
The Model 0 Flamingo is ideal for users who do not require that much graphics muscle. But if you want light gaming at 1080p, the case and its 200-watt PSU should be enough to handle a CPU with a solid integrated GPU like the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G.
Geometric Future says the Model 0 Flamingo’s panels have an Alcantara-like finish designed to be static, fire, and mildew-resistant, giving it a premium feel. A small round button at one of the top corners delivers a tactile click every time you turn on the PC.
Its matte black finish with orange highlights gives it a classy look, although it still doesn’t feel as premium as other cases with wood finishes. The Model 0 Flamingo measures 3.2 x 8.1 x 8.2 inches to place it anywhere. It also includes several tiny magnetic feet, allowing you to orient it however you want.
The company positions the Model 0 Flamingo as a PC case for a multimedia PC that lives in your living room. Its design won’t make it look out of place in most modern interiors, and its small size makes it easy to fit nearly anywhere. Unfortunately, we don’t have official pricing for the case yet, although we expect it to come between $90 and $110—we will know soon enough when we see the listings for this case arrive next week.

FrozenGerbil I really like this SFF case for HTPC or home office use, and I plan to order one! It has an elegant stylish look, unlike many SFF cases that just look like black boxes. The TH article does not include the product link for Model 0 Flamingo so here it is:Reply

For those who are unfamiliar with the company Geometric Future, they were formed in 2020 by several former InWin employees who left InWin in 2019-2020, including one of InWin's best product managers, and several industrial designers and staff who formerly worked at InWin. They partner with a factory in Suzhou, China to make their own cases and products.
There is a YouTuber called "Gear Seekers" who frequently incorrectly says that Geometric Future is part of InWin - GF is not affiliated with InWin but was started by former InWin employees. InWin has experienced a lot of brain drain talent leaving the company between 2019 and 2024, including a lady who I consider to be InWin's 2nd best most creative industrial designer who left InWin and became an R&D manager for Cooler Master in 2023.
InWin also makes a "B1" and "Chopin Max" SFF case that is bundled with a Taiwan-made 200W PSU like GF's Flamingo. I think Flamingo is more stylish than InWin's Chopin although some people may not like the gold-orange accents on Flamingo. InWin's Chopin Max was around $150 USD, with bundled 200W PSU and made of brushed black or silver aluminum. A $90 or $100 price for Flamingo with bundled 200W PSU would not be too much compared to Chopin Max. -

looks great however ill stick to regular cases with panels that are secure. got a flash back of that guy linus bought a case from when his girl friend threw his case out the window during a argument lol i think it was.
imagine this thing being thrown out a window by a angry partner lol. -
Notton It's a modernized Antec ISK110 with a PSU.Reply
The only thing it's missing is a VESA mount.
... solid integrated GPU like the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G.
IMO, that's going to make the overall cost of the system exorbitant.
There's no cheap AM5 A620 mITX in stock right now.
It's all B650 in the >$200 range, and at that point, you might as well buy a 7840HS based mini-PC because it's cheaper.
