Am I missing something or was money passed under the table? Apart from it's size, it's no different form any case you buy at a store.

 

Sour grapes?

It's a real clean build. High Quality. Nice Layout. Nice attention to detail.

The sort of build a LOT of people would be happy to have sitting on their desk.

 

I voted for Tiny as it made for a really good SFF case with a truly small volume and can take a decent length card + ATX PSU.
Better than the lovely (hot running) Lian Li PC Q07 that I had and many other ITX cases pretending to be small...
I'm looking at you, Prodigy! (Great case, but no smaller from what I can see than my mATX TJ08).
Sorry to see his Zotac ITX board died, so did my N630i; not a good record.
Floyd, hope you get some good affordable kit back in there - Keep on Modding and never mind the haters.

 

Key point being that it WASN'T bought, it was custom built and it was a very clean mod. Detail and cleanliness of a build means more to me than outright ingenuity a lot of the time. Probably the same reasons I thought Gtek's B2 was the best mod of last year and it didn't even end up in the top 5.
