This case is the result of over a years worth of crowd based brain storming that initially started as one man's dream of a better version of Silverstone's SG05 case. After a very successful crowd source campaign via the same site linked above a prototype based on the aforementioned brain storming was produced and further defined based on real world hardware tests. Over the weekend a second campaign was launched which offers the final product to those who back said campaign.
This is a VERY limited time offer and there is NO guarantee any additional sales of this case will continue once this campaign ends. If you have ever considered a quality small form factor gaming machine with the potential for water cooling in mind THIS is the smallest case on the market you can effectively do so in and not have to sacrifice performance to achieve stellar results.
It's not cheap but then again neither are the parts that have gone into it's construction. This is in every way an enthusiast case with two major exceptions compared to the majority of cases that fall into the same category, it's not mainstream, nor is it one-off. Which means you don't miss your chance if you are like me and have dreamed about building the most powerful gaming rig you can within the smallest dimensions possible given today's technology!

I like it and hope they do well.
If I was in the market for a new build then I would most likely buy one. Right now personally I wont drop $200 on something I will use in a few years.
For those in the market for a SFF case this case should be considered.
They were able to reach their funding goal of $67,500 in 19 hours so it's safe to say they have a hit on their hands. Hopefully they will continue to refine this case in the future as new hardware becomes available.
I'm not rich by any means but I was MORE than happy to thrown down $205 for one of these in support of their efforts and a replacement for my Silverstone FT-02 based system once they finally ship. I simply do not need an ATX or even mATX based system and thus can't wait to downsize.
Mini-ITX used to be not support OCing (or at least not well) however due to an increase in demand for such products you can easily find very OC stable mITX boards from the usual reputable dealers. A quick Google search will show you just how far the industry has come in this area.
