What made you go with the Gryphon over something like the OC Formula or G1 Sniper boards?

Corsair obsidian 250d. So far everything is great. My temps are much lower than I was expecting.
Here is my build log.

Great Job. I was looking for a micro ATX, not mini-ITX. The 350D is probably close to what you have.

I'm intrigued by this case. I'll likely use it for the next build I do.The 23-liter Sugo SG10 case that you originally linked is an elegant triumph of packing a lot into a small space.

I second this. I use one myself and while it's a little big compared to some other micro ATX cases, the build quality and its features are really quite nice plus as a non-gamer and someone who enjoys non-tacky looking cases, it keeps a nice simple, professional look as well.
