Anyone else eyeing any new SFF ATX options? Going to be building a new box soon with a 7950x and will be going full ATX yet again. Not sure I want to cram everything into my thetis, or start from scratch in another case...

Bump for new concepts and ideas... need new cases to fit 4090s, lol!

I need this case, but with a 360rad at the bottom or top, exactly 120mm wide to fit rad/fans...

I swapped my 1080Ti FTW3 with a 3080 FTW3 Ultra with a new water block and it's actually smaller than my 1080Ti was =P

Nice! Now you just have to ditch that 3.5in drive for a 2.5in ssd ;) I recently dropped a 4TB samsung SSD in mine.

Nice! I really like that magnetic cover. I've already started to have parts on my break from all the times I removed it. I've been debating buying this AC Infinity fan cover/grill and cutting out the top of the case to install this with a bit more offset to better fit my radiator: I'm not...

No, but I've been contemplating it... the main thing holding me up is that I'm on year 6 of this hardware, ready to refresh it, but I can't get any stock of the CPUs or GPUs I want to build it with. I instead bought a used 6950x and replaced my 5930k with it and will just use the extra cores as...

Oh, right, the 3xxx series has that blow-thru fan... I guess try top down first and run prime95 and furmark together for 30mins and see what your temps are, and then reverse the fans and see if they are any better/worse...

I'd go reverse airflow in your case... set bottom and rear fan to blow inward, and rad fans at the top to push air through the rad and out the top of the case.

Nice! I also added larger feet to get more airflow out of the bottom.

Nice! That's a lot of PC in a little box. I'm still looking at possibly finally picking up a Cerebus X or something now that I know I can build in a case this small. Would be nice to have some side-mounting options in a case like that.

The top filters are pretty good. Default layout is top intake, exhaust out the back/bottom. I've tried it a few different ways. I currently have the case on its back panel. I use the top and center bottom as intakes. PSU and rear fan are exhaust.

I don't really have any before/after data, but it does seem to be quieter, either due to less air noise, or due to more airflow causing slower fan speeds due to lower temps... =)

I recently cut the entire bottom fan grill out of mine, much like how I cut out the rear fan grill. I also removed the fine plastic mesh in the top metal grate to get more airflow.

Strange that you're having issues. I just fedex'ed in a macbook from china with no issues. I mean, it sat in china for a few days, but once it started moving, it quite literally arrived at my home overnight. Arrived just a few days ago.
