    A 160mm Fan would be nice, as well as a 650 - 800 Watt power supply with 2 (count them - TWO) 24 pin motherboard cables and a case with a built in KVM switch

    Then I could fit 2 Mini ITX motherboards as well as high end graphics in a box approximately 8" X 9.5" X 18" and use it for a monitor stand in a box 1/4th the size of the Corsair Obsurdian 1000D

    I would like to mount 1 motherboard face up and one above it face down with 1 (or two) graphics cards on each side and 160mm fan on the right end with a single power supply on the left blowing hot air out

    B.T.W...
    Why are so few making high end cases as Monitor stands to save desk space???

    I would think there would be a market for space saving cases, even for 1 motherboard

    fractal design define C...I gots one, not the best of everything you could ask for, but very very good dust filtering included in the box, space for almost anything you could throw at it, and quite a bit "smaller" then pretty much all other ATX class mid-tower I have ever owned ^.^

    I personally do not know why Asus "dumbed down" the TUF line because when it first came out, they were much much better than other vendors "top end" lines whereas if you look at them now, they tend to be at best "mid range" as far as specs are concerned, the audio used, the VRM, the amount of sata, as few as required fan connectors, hell if anything just going by their naming, the VRM/heatsink design for TUF should be very near the best they can do even if they decide to cut back on the audio chipset etc...screw the has to have RGB before it becomes yesterdays garbage O.o

    had a few friends that had TUF motherboards as well as Maximus, Formula etc etc, the Sabertooth AMD/Intel was an amazing board (for its time) the "new" ones really are kind of blekk in comparison (instead they focus the good stuff will only go into the ROG or STRIX branding at least it seems to be this way) personally I would expect ROG is extra special over the top type designs, STRIX is "extra fast" whereas TUF should be second to none durability factor (which means best in class cooling, not "comparable" to other more main stream offerings)

    IMO Asus really has "slipped" in the past decade or so compared to other company offerings, they used to be quite top notch, they seem to be more of "just another option" these days, granted I have always found their BIOS layout to be quite good compared to many, easy to find things, easy to use.

    as for cooler master, their Master Air, are a bloody joke 9/10 at best only comparable to previous offerings (such as hyper 212 Plus) but they want even more $$ for them, real world performance vs marketing fluff always...silly fools ^.^

    The TUF series is an entry level series now. Even ASUS admitted it a while back. I loved the Sabretooth series. They were fantastic.

    That MA410M has a more than passing resemblance to the Hyper 212...
