Teenage Engineering Computer-1 Mini-ITX Computer Case with Powder Coated Aluminum, Chrome Metal Handles, and Dual-Slot GPU, Do It Yourself, Small Form Factor PC Case Compatible with SFX Power Supply

I had a bit of fun building this and appreciate the design. It is a DIY kit so some basic aptitude is required. Make your bends tight and square to ensure alignment. The case screws are self-tapping sheet metal screws so use a screw to pre-tap all the holes first and it’ll all go together pretty easily.

First off, I just wanted to say that the aesthetic design of this case is wonderful. It looks amazing. That's really about the only good thing I can say about it though, outside of the power switch being addictively satisfying to use.I bought this knowing of the issues people have had with this case and I'm not an inexperienced PC builder. Nonetheless, this case is entirely more trouble than it's worth after the novelty of cuteness wears off. The thermals are absolutely abysmal, even after undervolting and deshrouding my GPU and adding 2 slim 92mm fans to try and cool it. The holes on the top just don't allow enough airflow under any type of workload. I suppose it could be alright if you're not planning on adding a dedicated GPU though. The side fan paired with a low profile CPU cooler do just fine managing thermals within reason, but I wouldn't recommend unlocking the power limit on a high-end Intel chip in here.Beyond that though, my biggest disappointment with this case was actually the terrible front headphone jack and I/O wiring. Instead of using an HD Audio header, it uses these pinned out cables that are a true nightmare to get to stay in place and wire up. It's possible to get them to work I guess, but I wasn't able to. Consulting my motherboard manual allowed me to get them wired correctly, but Windows wouldn't recognize the headphone jack. After finding out you could bypass it through a registry edit, I did so. And I was met with nothing but a static-filled mess. Something was causing interference and I just gave up after hours. The USB-C worked fine, although I could not get it to stay in place using the intended screws. One side wouldn't allow the screw to enter, so I had to find a smaller screw I had laying around to fix that. The power switch, as mentioned earlier, is amazingly satisfying to flick and I had no problems with.Additionally, the aluminum panels are flimsy. I guess you could figure that, considering you have to bend them yourself, but it's really bad. On top of trying to manage cables, you truly walk a tightrope when assembling this thing and trying not to cause a disaster.Overall, just not worth it but pretty cool, I guess. It could be so much better with some more thoughtful design that doesn't focus solely on aesthetics.

This case looks very nice when mounted, but it requires some finesse and isn't meant for easy access. I would still recommend it as long as you are aware of its quirks.

Teenage Engineering robbed my fiancé of a great Christmas gift. Your screws were seemingly too small for the holes you drilled, not allowing the parts to attach to each other. As you can see by my zip tied case fan i used the bigger screws to attach the psu plate to the motherboard plate so this hipster trash product will have some structural integrity instead of popping back out.

In the end, this thing is great, making one of the coolest looking PC's I've ever built. But even as a TE fanboy I can't give it 5 stars; it's really not easy to put together and it barely holds it's own shape until the last panel goes on. It's absolutely awesome once it's together, and I don't think the instructions are too hard to follow.... but between the restrictions of the ITX parts that fit in there and the possibility that you might ruin it folding it up wrong if you're not paying attention, it just doesn't feel like a 5 star item. Unless you're into the journey of putting it together. I mean... I would totally buy another one of these.

The majority of this case’s price comes from the materials used rather than the features it provides.A single USB-C case port, a single power LED, and audio out. Air can flow out through every crevice, which means it has good airflow, but no filtering. It’s also lightweight to the point that it doesn’t feel sturdy.In regards to build process, it was fairly simple with the main difficulty coming from a single piece of aluminum that needed to be folded 5 times in a 6-ish inch span with very limited leverage. It’s also the piece with the most limited tolerances of the build.

Encantado con el producto no puedo decir más una marca que me ha sorprendido todos sus productos

Figured I’d have a fun assembly with the quirkiness they advertise. The screw holes are untapped and needed to pre-thread with one of the supplied screws which barely have any depth at the screw head to tap the holes. This made me realize I have too much disposable income. What a show.
