The Geeek G1 SE - Airflow Optimized Sandwich Case?
How much sandwich does everyone actually need? The G1 SE is a sensible approach to a sandwich style mini-itx case, providing users with the option to go with a vertical column of airflow, leading to effective air exchange and thus good component cooling. In this review I'll cover some of the leading features as well as do a build and test for thermals. I'll also take a look at a new low profile push/pull cooler from ID Cooling. Additional tests will follow so please make sure you join in the fun by subscribing! Official specs pass the sanity check- be careful with cards that are too thick because the fans may contact the panel if it's too thick.
