    Sorry to bump, but the SFF venom is stronger than I thought... :D What do you think about getting some AIO for CPU, put it on the bottom of the Evolv Shift in push-pull, add 2 front 120 fans as intakes (all 4 fans high static pressure) and use an open air gpu like MSI RTX 2070 Super Gaming X...

    Thank you for the link to the video. I have seen the "first" part but I failed to find the one after front panel mod. Thank you for showing me another option :) I am really thankful to all you for all the input you have done to help me. Unfortunately I am leaning towards Define C (main reason...

    :) I didn't expect that selecting a chassis will be so difficult. 10 years ago I spent like 20$ on a case, and I thought it was too expensive :D Heaviliy hesitating between Evolv Shift (but those temperatures, even with dual 120mm AIOs :(), and going big for Fractal Design Define C Michal

    Thank you all for your input to the thread. As for now I have given up on Node 202. Too small Cerberus-X, hmmm.... Looks nice, but the price is too high for me. I'd rather spend 100-150$ on case and the rest invest in better GPU or cooling. The main problem with these cases (apart from...

    Thank you Neil for pointing me to your project. Tremendous amount of work! Unfortunately I don't think that I want to mod the case so heavily, nor I have time to do it. Currently I'm in the "neglect SFF" phase after reading so many complaints on the Evolv Shift (ES) thermals. I really like...

    Hello to SFF community :) Recently I got bitten by the SFF bug, and since I would like to build a new system I'm thinking of going small. I really like vertical enclosures, but I have zero experience with SFF. What I'd like to put inside: CPU: i5 9600k or i7 9700k MOBO: MSI MPG Z390I Gaming...
