Its not for computer people it's for teenage engineering people. There's a big difference.

Not to be too mean about it (I do own an op-z) but there's a subset of synthheads who will buy whatever they put out.

The price is about double what i expect anyone else to sell it for so that is about on par with most of their stuff.

The most interesting thing to me is that they don't seem to give you a reason to want to buy it over some other mitx case. Its just "we made a small computer case it's small!". They're marketing to their own fans with this.



A synth head looking for a SFF should get a Mac mini, much better value for music production than this tiny pc.

I think their just showcasing their proof of concept.


It's not a PC it's a case and it was designed for their own team computer needs which is presumably a nice looking case for a high end build to run CAD software.

The number of PC components that look nice, not the designed for gamers RGB aesthetic is miniscule, so they're definitely going to do alright with sales of this.


They were for sale so it's not really about the showcase. This ain't for all synth heads this is for the teenage engineering enthusiast synthheads.
