Just because case specs say "360mm of gpu clearance", that does not mean "comfortably" or "you won't have to disassemble everything around it". (lemmy.world)

From what I see or just my personal preference, itx cases seems to be more focused on asthetics than functionality. I do like the looks of it and would like to switch to some open itx builds at some point but idk if it's worth it with all the drawbacks.

Depends what you consider its function. A small case is much more convenient for some people than a hulking mass of steel.

I remember when giant Antec towers were popular. Now people only have NVME drives instead of 3.5" disks, and most modern PCs don't even have optical drives anymore. The biggest thing nowadays is these enormous GPU coolers.
