This chassis (A.K.A. NOX Blaze X2 Project or AZZA Fusion 4000) still doesn't make sense to me and feels overall pricy for what it is...

I don't know, I kinda pictured it as a chassis for a second, smaller config, to take to LAN Parties, or just to share a tower between two computer users (to save on space). At least, that was the idea their brochure shoved into my head. The top part can house a ITX board, but only has one bracket for the expansion card and if it is a graphics card (which will be, most likely), it will become a hindrance. Unless you watercool it! But, where will you stuff the pump? Not to mention cable-management and the fact that it doesn't take ATX PSUs. See, that's where this case bothers me.
Maybe I was just expecting too much from it. Maybe I got the wrong idea. And I also keep forgetting that street price for that chassis is 200€ here.
As a whole, I think it ends up serving for single-purpose builds, where it has to match very specific characteristics to be effective.

So the top part...just one big place to install water-cooling equipment for the bottom system, imo. Not worth the premium price.
