FINAL THOUGHTS
The Apollo S is essentially as shrunk down ITX version of Apples Mac Pro 2019 with the iconic cheese grater style front panel, but tailored for standard PC hardware. We love the thought that has been put into all of their cases from hardware compatibility, all the way upto the magnetic snap case panels. Watch you don't lose a finger!!! The build quality and thick panels gives their case a premium feel, while the tight tolerances ensures everything aligns perfectly. It's true you get what you pay for and McPrue is very small operation, with limited run cases of around 50 at a time.
