I've been building computers for a while and I'm going smaller with each build. I went from a HAF X to a 650D to the Arc Midi, and now I have a Thermaltake Core V21 which is my first mATX. I might go mini-ITX for my next build, but I feel like that form factor would be too limiting. mATX strikes a good balance for me.

I had that case. It was sweet.
The "brushed aluminum" was kinda lame, but only because I knew it was plastic. It's like having a gold watch that isn't really gold.

Small itx build is definitely challenging. You have to keep a real close eye on the case your using. You're bound to run into stuff like fans that won't work fit with cpu cooler or Gpu. Drives that are hard to reach, having to sacrifice features for a full length Gpu. Getting low Temps can be challenging, the key is to get a decent case, stick to ssd drives and use a modular sfx psu. If you're doing itx, go as small as possible, otherwise it's not worth the effort. Just stick to matx if you're not sure.
