A nice small case, ideal for a portable computer to take with you on a long trip. It is a bit difficult to assemble and I didn’t get enough screws to mount a SATA SSD, so I had to look for some more from other computer cases. Also, the assembling instructions aren’t perfect and you may end up using the wrong kind of screws sometimes. However, the result was great and looks fantastic. The plastic feels sturdy enough and all the components fit good. Despite the limited air flow, the computer stays in safe temperatures even under load.
I used this case to build this:
Ryzen 5 1600 (OC 3.8 GHz, 1.25V), aircooled by a Noctua NH-L9a Chromax.
Gigabyte AB350N Gaming Wifi
16GB GSkill Trident Z Neo 2666 MHz CL18 (OC 3200 MHz CL16)
Sapphire Radeon RX570 4GB ITX
Silverstone FX350-G (350W Flex ATX PSU, 80 Plus Gold)
It runs very well even under load. The graphics card is manually overclocked and never goes beyond 72ºC. The processor peaks at 70ºC. Geeek 92mm fans seem to be doing a fairly good job, but they are a bit noise when spinning at 40% speed or more. I will be probably replacing them with two 92mm low profile fans from Noctua at some point.
I would say that this case does a very nice job even with overclocked mid-range gaming systems. If you are aiming for something like that, go for it, the A31 will do the job.

There’s a lot of damage to the screw. I thought I bought a new case.

Look at those scratches! Except for those screws, it’s a perfect case.

Overall easy to put together. It was very snug on the parts I used, but it fits. The thermals were a lot better than the other 10L case I was using by a whole 10C (72C stress test for both GPU and CPU after 30min). One thing that could have been a problem, I did not get enough screws to secure the fan plate on top. Luckily I was able to find 4 of the right size for the top in my extra screws bag.
Parts used:
Mini-ITX DH77DF (Intel 3rd gen)
i7-3770
Noctua 92x14mm fans x2
Noctua NH-L9i chromax.Black
GTX 1070 Aero
Enhance Flex 600W Power Supply ENP-7660B (Snipped/Covered the extra cables for space)
Barracuda Pro 1TB 2.5″ HDD
This thing is the most silent computer I’ve ever had. Also interestingly, so I blow fresh air in from the top, and it vents from the sides, and this seems to have my temperatures lower by 4C than intake from the sides, exhaust out the top.

Nice PC case. I had the opportunity to compare with the a30 version and the a30 model seemed better to me.
The a31 case is well assembled and convenient to assemble everything. Enough space inside. Be sure to buy and install two 92×15 mm fans for blowing.
The temperature of the components in the game The Witcher 3 after 1 hour.
no fans: CPU = 67*C, GPU = 79*C, power supply = 88*C
with fans: CPU = 62*C, GPU = 73*C, power supply = 79*C

Positive surprise. The build quality is better than expected and the case overall is great.
Except for the screws, which really look not new.

Love this very DIY case! Note if you are getting this case, flex psu fans are pretty loud. You might want to consider replacing with a quieter fan.

Love this case!
Small, easy to work in, comes with clear instructions.
It feels very solid when assembled.
I hope in the future they make a similar case except with more USB 3.0 ports and even USB type c ports.
Great overall purchase!
