    And yet none of them made me sit up and think 'Wow, I'd love to have that' the way the Prodigy or 250D did... I am still glad I got my 250D even though I don't even use it yet.

    True, although I guess that's what happens with designs that are evolutionary rather than revolutionary as we saw with the Prodigy.

    Hear hear!

    Same here. Corsair makes the best ITX offerings. (most) the rest are shrunken ATX...

    I think the Manta is a pretty nice case. At least it's something different from all the square boxes.

    Can't agree there, it looks just like any other square box but one that has been puffed up and looks like it's about to pop... The design also makes it look (and likely is) a lot larger with no space benefits.

    Ncase makes the best ITX offerings. Anything that houses an ATX PSU is a pretender.

    Lian Li PC-Q10, but only as an air-cooling case, would be my favorite pick of the bunch.

    TBH I agree with this. ATX PSUs are for...wait for it... ATX cases.

    My personal favourite ITX case is the EVGA Hadron, and if I ever decide to go ITX, that will be my first port of call.
