Daaamn I was wondering how to mount that fan. Thanks!

In case it hasn’t been posted before

You got the big stuff. Some other things that come to mind are a more elegant mounting solution for the PSU, as well as the mount point for the GPU ribbon cable, added cable tie locations, and a general streamlining of screws and tools needed to work on the case. GPU compatibility was improved...

Finally got to plug the system in. Happy to report everything turned on. Ran some quick benchmarks to see how thermals compared with the S400: At load, CPU and GPU running 3C cooler, system temp 5C cooler. Hex vent pattern and slightly larger volume in action I suppose? Haven't even set up the...

I don't have a cable to test, but when I glanced at it, it looked out of commission.

Finally got to it. Can't do justice to that acrylic panel with indoor lighting.

Just received a case this evening. Hoping to transplant parts tomorrow. Nice packing job. Acrylic panels look awesome. Case is barely larger than s400. I'm digging this upgrade!

Damn that quick start manual looks sharp! You sure you don't have a factory in China, 100s of employees, and multiple product divisions?

Love how everything is coming together. The spacers look very interesting and I already have a shuriken on hand... Now I'm wondering if the added height would allow for an 80mm fan to be squeezed in and jerry rigged. Don't feel compelled to test this lol. I'm fine waiting to find out myself.

The gelid fans seemed to be the most readily available option (edit: with easy return shipping) off Amazon and Newegg. Hopefully the 15.5mm isn't an issue. Guess we'll see :)

I'm down with the most cost effective solution. Thanks for the transparency.

@grsychckn are you able to replicate that last photo without the spacer on the power switch? That might make things a little clearer.

Probably a width issue. Like the gigabyte and msi mini's, they wouldn't fit in the s400 either.

Just realized I was one of those obscure builds :D. Sorry, I never saw your questions as I tend to only log in when I have a new build to document; but it seems I ended up answering some of those questions here. To answer your other question (a little late) yes that was an ml08 in the comparison...
