I wonder if the connector of the extension would fit inside the rear panel. Personally, I would run the main power cable in through the cut-out and try to hide away the length of the extension.
This is a pretty interesting one! Definitely going on my list to consider for my someday-when-I-have-money build!
I don't normally care about cases but this one actually impresses me.
This kind of design (perforated panels) may have drawbacks : the dust will be more visible, stuck in the micro-holes of the panels, it will require regular clean of the panels by the user. Be careful also with water, rain, as this design will not prevent liquid to enter via the micro-holes (accident with a cup of coffee next to the PC).
AP201 so much better dude
With the perforated front panel, it's really weird they didn't have the option for the power supply to mount to the front like the AP201 (front intake, top exhaust). Would be perfect otherwise. With an sfx psu, it should provide enough clearance for longer gpus even with the cables.
It is compatible with back connect motherboards like MSI Project Zero
This is similar to the Jonsbo D31/D41. The D41 fits full sized ATX components though!
Pretty sweet case for that price.
great video
I wonder if you could flip the case and have the psu on the lower side and put a long aio in the extension case lid?
10:20 who cares about unpleasant cable routing in a case with no window?
lil stupid but how about attaching a 2nd case to make a double decker or a double wide
The IM01 (non-pro) is sold by half a dozen different brands globally, including by Lian Li in Microcenter stores. Presumably the IM01 Pro will have a similar story.
I built 2 machines for family/friends in the IM01. It is a fanstastic budget SFF-ish solution. Not just because the case is cheap, but because it lets you have a small machine while using standard mATX motherboards and ATX PSUs. Avoiding the SFF Tax.
tecware or sama best budget cases specially in matx cases
Such a flexible design! I expect that more options for mounting an SFX power supply can be achieved by using an ATX-SFX adapter plate,especially an off-center one like Silverstone's.
Nice find. Interesting option for smaller builds. Thanks!
When you said that it had a 20g front USB-C and was only $65, I about did a spit-take all over my monitor and keyboard! I can think of one competitor where you have to buy the front USB-C connector separate from the case (Fractal Pop Mini Air) and it costs $25 more on Newegg, without the front USB-C!. It does have the hidden 5.25" drive bay, but how many people need that in the era of everything being downloaded?
What a banger
I just ordered a sama im01 clone on friday!
Every time I see a new ITX case I just think why can’t they add screw holes so you can swap the feet (without changing brackets, just the feet) to the side panel and run it horizontally, like in an entertainment center?
I am loving the trend lately with moving power supplies to different spots
Looks like the Asus Prime. I said this before watching LOL. Sama has actually been killin it with cases and PSUs
