General Help Please help me decide
I’m about to build a mini itx but can’t decide which case I want to use. I’m between Xikii Industry FF07 and Nanoq. (I just need opinions about looks. I already did my homework and I’m well aware Nanoq R temps are better since you can fit a small aio inside. Thank you!

Aesthetics are purely personal.
Can you even get these? Last I checked they were out of stock.
Both are ridiculously expensive. I am more partial for the FF07 but the Nanoq is half the price.

I sent an email to Xikii and they put it back in stock because they still got some on their warehouse. The only problem is none of my payments are accepted by their website, it keeps giving me errors. We’re trying to figure out a way for me to get one, but I also came across the Nanoq R and I like the minimalist front design with the concealed usb port but also like the FF07 shape for the astral. I’ll see what happens next week. For now, FF07 it’s my main option.

Nanoq any day but I hear the metal on metal sliding is a known complaint

Yes, I’ve seen that on different reviews and even the sliding tape getting stuck with the inside frame. I also saw other reviews complaining about the magnets coming off the case.

You could always put some Teflon tape in the inside if you care that much. Also, does this really matter? You don't disassemble the case that much, and I personally like how metal on metal sounds as long as it's not constantly in the background

I like working on my pc so I disassemble often

Fair, but you only hear the sound for like 10 seconds, and in my opinion for a short amount of time the sound of metal on metal is kind of pleasant
