This is just an APEX case rebranded. I used one of these cases with an atom d330 mini itx case back when the atoms were just released. Back then there were no SSD drives, just mainly 3.5" hard drives which utterly cook in this case. Nowadays with everything running so cool with much less power requirements this case should be pretty reasonable.
Some mods I did to the case:
A 120mm fan can literally snap into the place where the internal 3.5" hard drive is to go, blowing directly over the motherboard. I drilled a few air holes in the opposite side of the case on the expansion card side.
I removed the drive cage in front and drilled 2 sets of holes in the case bottom. I mounted 2 3.5" drives on their sides directly to the case bottom with a couple of struts on the new "top" of the drives to keep them separated.
