A09 Black Mini-ITX 0.8mm SPCC Desktop Computer Case Fit in Flex PSU

I used the A09 for my first Mini-ITX build after a number of AMD Micro-ATX builds over the years.* AMD Ryzen 8600* Gigabyte B650I AORUS Ultra Mini-ITX* T.F.SKYWINDINTL 400W Power Supply Flex ATX Fully Modular PSU (very tight!)* G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MT/s CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM* Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD* SAMSUNG MZ-V9P4T0B/AM 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD 4TBThe Goodisory A09 is one of the smallest ITX cases out there. It accommodates the above hardware with a few caveats:* The Ryzen 8600 with stock Cooler fits, but precludes the optional mounting of a video card w riser across the side of the case* The PSU listed is a VERY tight fit.. to be fair, it is longer than what the A09 specifies as usable. It had to be maneuvered past non-removable mounting posts.* There is no spare room. The main motherboard power is right against the front panel* The front buttons needed to be temporarily removed to permit installation of the motherboard (picture)* The fact that the Gigabyte board has sub-board to attach case power and reset is helpful (picture)While the A09 is well made. Its design sacrifices everything for small size. I think it's a nice solution for a Ryzen APU and M.2 storage with no extraneous devices in the case: no GPU card, no SATA drives, no add-on cards. Even there, assembly will take some trial and error to find the correct order of operations.What could make the A09 better? The basic case is riveted together and risers are not removable so it is quite sturdy. The side panel is the only removable panel. If the risers and other panels were removable, it would be easier to mount the PSU, and access the motherboard connections.My goal was a lunch-box sized host with ample memory and storage for data projects. The A09 can literally be carried in a child's soft lunch bag (pictured)

This is a really tight case to build in, make sure you have all the parts you need and want before you begin to build, you can force in a pair of slim noctua 40mm fans into the 'top' side or the side with the motherboard on it if you dont mind using the anti-vibration tabs and having the brown circle on the outside of the case. I have a ryzen 7 3700x currently in my build along with a quadro p620 and it runs warm (around 86-90c when gaming) since the dedicated gpu blocks a good third of the cpu heatsink, which keep in mind does have to be around 36mm (there is a bit of space with a slim fan might have enough to go a step up). Getting a flex atx power supply into the system is a bit of a problem so I would recommend completely disassembling the case (the front panel slides off after removing the io) to slide it in easier.

Love, love love it!This thing is VERY good quality. When it first came in the mail, I forgot how much I paid for it and when I first felt it I was like "oh yeah, that's why it was so expensive." Then afterwards I realized it was only $45! I thought I paid $100 for some reason. My point is, it's amazing quality and super dense and sturdy with very little to no bend in the side panels.In my pics, I was still waiting on my flex PSU. I went with a 300w for my 5600g build. Everything works great but I would highly suggest buying a modular flex power supply. It will make a world of difference and your life much easier!100% worth it.

I knew using this case would be a little frustrating simply because of the size. But as I put everything together, multiple bad design choices started to stand out.- No space for cable management. With an itx case that supports a flex PSU, you would think there should be at least a little space for cable management behind ths PSU.. this case almost has none. Maby a little space under the motherboard... nope.- The front panel USB 3 is placed in a horrible spot, and is just to large for this case. Also, the wire to connect to the motherboard is double the length it should be. And, if you wanted to put a graphics card in that top slot, then you don't have to worry about it, because you will have to just remove it anyways.. what?- Want to mount an ssd to the top braket over the cpu fan? The bracket is not reversible, and the ssd mounts closer to the back of case. Want to put the sata connector facing towards the back of the case because thats the only open area left for cable management? It's to close to the back, and a regular/straight sata connector will not fit. You'll have to use a 90 degree sata connection (not included).There were more frustrating parts to this build, like how the SMA holes for the wifi are just slightly to large, so as you tighten them, they spin.. but these things can be made to work.Over all, I liked the look of this case. It felt rugged and well put together, just not well thought out. It does come with pretty much all the screws you will need, and as a bonus, a single small zip tie for cable management, lol.2 stars for this, as I can see this case working for some people.

This case is a breeze to work in, is perfectly compact, and has one single flaw.That flaw is that the front I/O daughter board is in the way of the GPU. Your GPU *WILL* hang too far and hit that little PCB and its wires... So I suggest you only buy this if you don't intend on closing the side panel, or if you don't need even a small dedicated GPU.Needing a riser cable could have been avoided if the manufacturer had put a low-profile brace elsewhere, instead of a regular sized GPU brace where it is... But that's a nitpick. The only real concern is the placement of the Front I/O ports.For the price, it's a decent case.
