The micro and mini motherboard systems are getting more popular as manufacturers are finally putting powerful hardware on smaller motherboards. If you are going to be purchasing one of these smaller motherboards you will probably be looking for a new case to that best fits your needs. AzzATech has brought to the market a mini-itx case that they call Z. You would think that with that name they have created quite a few of these size cases already, but this is actually their first mini-itx case. It is time to see what the AzzA Z Mini-ITX Gaming Case has to offer.

Packaged into a standard cardboard box you get a few images of what the AzzA Z looks like along with some details about the case. There is nothing special here so lets jump into the box and get this review going.
The AzzA Z Mini-ITX Gaming Case is safely placed into a plastic bag and capped with two styrofoam protective ends. Inside is where AzzA stored the items that come with the case. You get the normal set of screws, a small speaker on a header plug, manual, rubber feet and a PCI-e ribbon cable for the graphic card.

Love this review. Far better than a lot of others. I was wondering if you knew the size of the LED’s, as well as the thickness on the vents? I plan on doing an LED swap and putting acrylic sheeting over the vent holes and just wanted to make sure that 1/8″ think sheeting wouldn’t compromise space.
