Just seen this, looks like it could make for a pretty solid tiny gaming pc.

Hadn't seen this before and thought it looked pretty interesting until I saw the inside of the case and the component layout. ATX power supply just seems to kill any potential flexibility for what I had in mind; most notably in terms of position as even if you were to go with a SFX PSU, the mounting position has been dictated by ATX.

Just looks like they took the DeskMini and decided to put a full-size power supply and small GPU in and that was it done. Shame, really. Even a 2L volume increase and SFX-only PSU could have made for something pretty compelling.

You could mount an sfx power supply with one of those little adapter plates. Wouldn't be perfect, but should give some extra room for the cpu cooler. Though you're then paying a bunch of extra money for a 2nd psu.

I like that Asrock continues to make different SFF PCs. This one not for me, but I’m sure it’s exactly what some people are looking for.

The included PSU is not a typical ATX PSU. The PSU fan is reversed so is exhausting air onto the CPU fan to complement it. So if you replace the PSU, you'll have to switch the PSU fan around.
