Hinged Mini-ITX chassis prototype has small footprint
 

The Mini-ITX platform has a delightfully small footprint that's spawned all sorts of tiny chassis. Unfortunately, building systems inside those cases can be a royal pain. The internals are always cramped, and even if your components fit, your hands are inevitably too large to place the parts easily. Lian Li's latest Mini-ITX prototype aims to address that problem with a unique hinged design. After the side panels have been removed, the whole front and top of the case flip forward to expose the internals.
