Looks like an M-ATX version of the Fractal Design Era. Too bad about the noise of the system. A 240mm would easily fit on that side bracket. Not sure why a 120mm aio was used. Maybe old inventory a supplier is trying to offload?

Here is another serrated heatsink from HeatsinkUSA.com for those who would like airflow in another direction. It's double the height and quadruple the width of the 2.000" heatsink.

Revoccases made a build post earlier this year of a vertical tower similar to yours called the NordR1 - https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/n0rdr1-a-custom-cool-quiet-sff-tower-with-wood-front-panel.18206/. He provided the files if you want to take a look. Since it sounds like you have...

I was able to find these, https://www.newark.com/amp-te-connectivity/63391-2/female-disconnect-2-36mm-uninsulated/dp/43AC4195. Looks exactly like what's required. And the best part is you can buy them individually, so no need for a pack of 100 when all you need is a few dozen.

I found a Switch on McMaster-Carr that fits what I'm trying to accomplish with an offline backup solution, 3/4" Panel-Mount Key Switch (7278K17), but I'm not sure what the matching solder lug terminal is. I assume it is a female quick-disconnect, but the smallest width tab they stock is 0.250"...

Here is a model of an extruded heatsink that I reproduced in Fusion360 from 2D drawings provided on HeatsinkUSA.com. I plan to use it with an HDPlex 250W GaN PSU and a 40mm Noctua fan in place of a Flex-ATX PSU for silent operation and modularity. But there could be other uses, like a...

http://www.shopblt.com/item/pny-technologies-vcnrtxa2000-pb-blt-special-nvidia/pny_vcnrtxa2000pb~c9bq199.html I've been watching the price slowly creep down across various third-party retailers over the last few weeks, when yesterday morning I saw that ShopBLT had it on sale for $449 USD. I...

Straight to your points: I'll second it and say that intakes would nice. I'm not sure how close a dual tower cpu cooler would be to the front panel in such a short case, but I could imagine that there would be a sufficient enough distance to warrant adding something in the front, especially...

Hey man, I'll be happy to pay $25 for "some damn brackets", lol. So long as I don't have to buy another cooler. Now... If only there was a way to get the news out about these brackets to a wider audience. I'm certain there are way more people looking for the same solution, but just haven't...

Just looked at the manual. Looks like they only included what was needed to install it on LGA 2011, which was the Intel bracket and #12 screws. No backplate because 2011 motherboards come with one already pre-installed. Would your solution come with its own backplate or would the end user need...

Would the Big Shuriken 2 bracket also come with mounting hardware? I purchased a motherboard a while back and the owner surprised me with the inclusion of a BS2, but for the life of me couldn't figure out why they didn't include the whole mounting system. Right now it's just sitting in the...

True, but maybe only for 65W processors. If the leaks from AdoredTV are anything to be believed, that 95W APU (which is what I intend on purchasing) would need a larger cooler to keep overclocked temps in the mid 70's, all while doing it quietly. I could put something like a Silverstone...

I'm seriously considering using this for an APU build I plan on doing in the future. The plan is to mod a Raijintek Morpheus II onto the CPU and have it positioned vertically (near the top of the motherboard side) so it cools the ABC180. I figure I'll use a standard 6mm standoff for the...
