Minisforum track record and availability for BIOS updates is also an issue. I had a 2 week support case to resolve a sleep issue and they wanted me to take drastic measures (like wipe everything out multiple times) when reverting back one BIOS fixed the issue -- however unlike most OEM they only have the current BIOS up not the history so you have to go though the middle of the night support (they are in China) and the days it takes to get a resolution. Note: In this case I had to force support they were pretty unhelpful so unless you are very technical I would also think twice from the support angle.
Value wise this is very good, use case is very limited IMHO, and since it is integrated then you also can't upgrade the CPU later. The GPU in this is gimped meant for 2D solutions, so this misses the mark on gaming unless you add a GPU and at that point a discrete solution is around the same price and upgradable in any dimension.
I did look at this heavily for a while, but I decided to build my own a few weeks ago w/ a discrete solution because I did not need SATA ports as this was my main PC. I can see this if you don't need lots of storage tho.

possible and if so, is there an itx case that you can recommend that takes big graphic cards?
But on paper this is a great package 100%.
Integrated graphics get the job done, but you should add a separate graphics card to this board if you're going to do any gaming.
