    Completed SFFtime presents: N-ATX - 14 L case with ATX mbo and psu, 4-slot gpu and 360mm rad support!

    I hadn't heard of this before. I think I should be able to handle this by carefully choosing things off the shelf, but this is great to know about. Back in school, I had casual access to 3D printers, a CNC mill, a laser cutter, etc. Definitely miss that now. 😢

    Thanks for this. I don't have too much in the way of tools to fabricate my own stuff with, so I'll have to keep an eye out for pre-drilled plates like that. I'll obviously post if I figure something out! I naturally checked Pelican because they're Pelican, but with the stand on, the N-ATX...

    Almost forgot: I actually came here to say that as someone who downsized for multiple reasons, but primarily to be able to travel with my computer, it was important to me to find a protective case that I could easily carry -- and I finally have. Carrying cases for full PC towers are too big, so...

    Thanks for featuring my build in your answer lol I think riba might've answered this one already a while back, I believe that in addition to the issue of components bumping into each other, there's a structural component that's preventing it from being any longer. If you look at page 7 of the...

    I've been doing well with my N-ATX for the last several weeks, zero complaints only enjoyment. Thought I'd share a shot of my portable setup that I'll be trying out when I travel this coming week. 15.6" FHD portable monitor (power over USB-C and video over (mini) HDMI) Compact rechargeable...

    As usual, the problem is between the chair and the (my) keyboard. Used the correct holes on the GPU slot bracket and everything looks perfectly aligned now. If I can find that last countersunk screw, the case itself will be perfectly assembled. Regarding your comments on the thermals: 1. I...

    All right, time for those pictures I promised -- though @riba2233 has already put me to shame by posting such a neat build of his own. 😭 Took me a while to post this because I haven't used Imgur to make an album in forever. Before and after! Corsair Vengeance C70 that I've had since 2013...

    Hey, reporting in from my PC running in my brand new N-ATX! It arrived a couple of days ago but I was away so I didn't have an opportunity to set it up. Came back today and moved my PC over first thing. I wasn't super thorough, but I did take some pictures that I can post later. Overall, things...

    Didn't want to comment until I'd successfully placed my order... But now I have! I can now order the low-profile cooler (and a white RGB fan) and I'll be all ready to make the move once the case arrives. My hopes for the 3090 fell through yesterday, but I think I'll manage with my 3080. 😈 And...

    Loved seeing the drop announcement today! I'm considering getting custom cables even if I could stuff in the ones from my ATX PSU. I currently have a single PCI-E cable feeding my GPU because that's all that came with the PSU, and I'd like to fix that. It'd also be sick to have white cables...

    Thanks for your thoughts! Looked through those suggestions and I'm feeling like the Phanteks hits the right spots in terms of aesthetics, cooling capability, and customizability (I might swap the included 120mm fan for one of the 120mm RGB fans I already have). If that's all I need, I'll just...

    I'm very excited for the release of this case! I've been following for several months now and slowly preparing my PC to transition into an N-ATX build (reducing the number of my drives, replacing my PSU with one that should fit). My relevant parts list: i7-9700K on a Z390 Aorus Pro WiFi MB...
