I had to take it all apart. That frosted window look is just the film and it was on pretty hard so I thought it was just frosted. Now I'm having some trouble with the power cables rubbing the bottom fan so I need to figure my routing out. This case looks sick, but cable routing is a total...

Finished my build last night and took a few pics. I'm using an SFX-L PSU with 3 fans and just getting all of the stock cables into the case was a real challenge. Here are the specs I've got in this case: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING-ITX/AC AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 32GB...

Finally opened mine up. The finish is not as nice as I was expecting. I also noticed my side panels on the black model are frosted and not clear compared to the pictures I've seen. I made the mistake of putting the Wraith Spire heatsink on from my 1700 instead of the one that came with my...

What CPU cooler is this in the 2nd PIC? I was wanting to use a Phanteks TC12LS, but I'm not sure it'll fit. I'll get some components in tomorrow and can start trying to build my case out.

I'm planning to use this power supply with the A50 rather soon actually. I already have the case and the PSU will come by the end of the week. I have the first gen SF450 in my Cougar QBX.

Nice! Randomly checked on this! Will be looking to move my Ryzen build to one of these. Later I'll upgrade my RAM to 64GB and move to an mATX board.

FYI, the "Ryzen hot" rumors are just a bunch of misinformed people spreading misinformation. I have a Ryzen 1700 on air and the thing rarely ever cracks 50C even under a heavy gaming load. Also, the Ryzen 7 CPUs run significantly cooler based on their max temperatures compared to Kaby Lake...

Is there any time table on this case?

I'm currently on a Cougar QBX, but I'm definitely interested in this. I was looking at it prior to my Ryzen 1700 build. The sheer customizability on this case is amazing.

I would buy a Threadripper ITX board. I probably wouldn't build Threadripper without it. I already have a 1700 so that would be my only real incentive to upgrade any time soon. I would also build Ryzen on STX if possible.

Personally I would prefer 2x HDMI over the DVI like the Biostar motherboard. Ideally they could have double stacked the HDMI ports and added another set of USB ports. I have a Gigabyte FM2 ITX motherboard with the HDMI ports double stacked and it still has a DVI port as well.

This is what keeps me from building Intel systems. My first PC build and my last Intel build was a first gen Pentium 4. I got the one with the 400MHz FSB, a month later 533 FSB was available, but required a new board, not just a new CPU. 4 months later 800 FSB was out, same thing. The whole...

My Cougar QBX case is pretty tiny. Not only is it hard to get my GPU in and out of the case, the GPU fans also rub the bottom case fans. I took them off the GPU. This would be a non issue if I understood how to use the fan control in the BIOS properly, but it seems to have a mind of it's own...

I unintentionally ripped my PCIe port off last night so back to the waiting game. Newegg doesn't know when they expect them back in stock.

I'm using a Phanteks PH TC12LS. You can put any fan on it. I have a EKWB Vardar fan on it. EDIT: Couldn't figure out how to insert quotes on mobile. This is a good alternative to the Noctua cooler.
