Mikhailtech has posted a review on the Maxtop CSX-001 mATX Case



Although it may seem a little cramped inside (and it is), don't let that be a deterrent. The CSX-001's design was well thought out so space restrictions don't hamper installation. At the back we see the mounted PSU, below which resides the other side of the I/O shield. To the left are the two fans. They're held in place by a pair of clips on the top and bottom of each, so swapping/cleaning them is a breeze. Below still are the expansion slots with installed reusable PCI tabs. The front is a little strange. At the very top are two removable internal 3.5" cages for mounting a pair of HDDs. Yes, you can have a RAID array even in a micro chassis. Below is the vertically mounted 5.25"/3.5" rack. Notice the mechanism between the two; this has to do with how the latter removed/reinstalled. There are also a ton of wires coming from the front of the case which is a sure sign of cable clutter to come. Do yourself a favor and invest in some twist ties.
