One thing to keep in mind with those mini-ITX cases is airflow is essential. When you are using it, make sure it's not against anything that limits airflow, like being in a cabinet or even sitting on your bed. Another gotcha is you have to pay attention to the video card length as some physically long cards will not fit.
Other than that, nice case.

My Wraith Stealth is very solid on my Asus Tuf motherboard. And the only real difference in the Stealth and Spire is the Spire has a copper core which makes the heat transfer even better. Unless you just want an AIO, I would not bother. -
I prefer to build my own.
Although I could be looking for a spare at bare bones.
In the WoWs game I switched from the Prinz Eugen which is useless, noise maker and gets sunk as well as being unable to spot nothing important like DD's despite use of the concealment configuration. Scharonhorst is the replacement I bought on sale which has the armor to stand up to anything, fast enough to be a cruiser and guns that can sink almost anything without too much trouble. I don't game much these days. But am focused on certain titles and using what works in a given game whatever it may be. Using the old creed that if you are big enough to kill anything you can catch and get away from anything big enough to kill you. =) -

I just finished building my own for the truck. Here is the parts list and some pictures. I had to do some modding of the GPU and PSU to make it all fit. I insulated components of the GPU and PSU with liquid electrical tape. I plan getting a custom back plate made for the GPU and that will be the last thing to do.
