Azza 806 Table Mini: I Might Buy This Case, or, Why Bother with a Chassis?

I’m a sucker for a big, powerful system. I want the CPU, the GPU, the fast storage, the lot. As a reviewer, I can change my daily system frequently and often, which means it can be hard to pull away from the most powerful bulky units. The appeal of having something small is obviously there, but it’s hard to combine the two into one neat unit. Azza might solve my problems for me.
The 806 Table Mini is a long SFF system that is designed to sit on your desk, with the monitor on top. There’s space underneath for the keyboard, and inside is enough space for a mini-ITX motherboard, a good cooler, a power supply, a reasonably sized graphics card, and on top is a tempered glass panel. The 3.5mm jacks and USB outlets are on the side, with a power button on the front. It looks like the PSU support is almost full ATX, with plenty of space for SATA/U.2 drives, and the only real limitations are in the CPU cooler height.
I believe it is mostly made out of aluminium, with Azza looking to sell this model at the end of the year. The person on the booth at Computex said it would be retailing for around $250, which is rather high.

You make a good point, the fan noise will be annoying right above your keyboard!Also, $250 is crazy expensive. If you spent 1/3 of that on a regular case and the rest on a GPU upgrade you'd be able to go from a 2060 to 2070, a much better upgrade.

For $250 you could have a DanA4 with much better airflow. The top panel will restrict airflow to the CPU cooler on this thing.PeachNCream - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
Fan noise may not be too bad with the right kind of hardware, but that would certainly limit performance. There's a notable gap between the glass and the case at the front that would allow noise to escape directly into the face of the user assuming nothing creative is done with placement of the system. For someone that values silence, this seems like an unwise choice.MrCommunistGen - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
Reminds me of the Cryorig TAKU case's formfactor. That was also a pretty expensive case.damonlynch - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
It looks like a designer looked a printer with great affection and decided it would be the inspiration of his or her next computer.PeachNCream - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
You're right. It looks a lot like our large format HP printer.zodiacfml - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
$250 for a mini-itx case? GPU card is upside down so little point to have a glass top. I don't see any air intake grills, probably at the bottom.It might fare better in a vertical orientation with its small footprint, but tall

Imo the tempered glass is for strengthDragonstongue - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
ITX....bleck.....take up top of desk means plenty of space, but limit to only ITX....toolsmeacupla - Tuesday, June 4, 2019 - link
I feel like a lot of manufacturers go about this the wrong way.Don't put the monitor on the PC.
Put the PC behind the monitor. piggy back on the VESA mount.
