I saw this case on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FGGKX9W/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
I like the overall size and the handles. The pattern on the front panel is probably laser etch. The construction uses M3 screws with collars and silver colored pop rivets. The rivets are only seen on the rear panel.
I ordered on October 11th and the case was delivered on October 29th. The product was packaged very well and arrived in perfect condition. This was $ 149 USD.
The case is complete with riser cable, internal AC power cable, USB3 cable, power switch with cable and a package of screws.
The silver anodize looks and feels good. I checked for sharp edges and and found none.
For the most part the case design is good, however I found that the slots for the GPU are not correct and are located about a tenth of an inch too low. You can see this when the GPU rear bracket runs into the power receptacle. I made up a spacer to raise the GPU a tenth inch and moved on.
The included fans have only 4 pin molex connectors and I swapped in 2 noctua 120 mm fans and connected them to the motherboard for PWM fan control.
I also added two countersunk holes to the right rear corner, on the rear panel, to hold my M.2 extender bracket.
Missing from this case is provision for a HDD Activity LED and a reset switch. I will be adding these as I fabricate the needed PSU cable set.
I am using the ASRock Z490M-ITX/ac motherboard with an Intel i5-10400K CPU, (2 x8) 16 GB DDR4 memory, a WD_BLACK SN750 500 GB M.2 NvMe drive, a 1 TB Pioneer SSD on a SATA port, a Silverstone 450 W SFX PSU, a Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8 GB GDDR5 and a Apple WiFi/BT BCM94360CS2 in an M.2 adapter. The CPU cooler is currently a noctua NH-L9x65 and is a little too tall and requires that I make up a new side panel or switch coolers.
Anyway more to follow.
