Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, not sure if this goes here or not. So, first a bit of background. I am interested in building a home NAS, but in order to fit a lot of disks, well, the full tower setup seems like the only option. But I hate the full tower setup since it is a...

For me, this case give two use cases that makes sense: 1. A Ryzen 3200G / 3400G office workstation PC capable of doing light CAD work or as a HTPC / Retro "Console". Brickless is a big deal here, as otherwise pretty much nothing competes with the ASRock A300 DeskMini at the moment (Case + PSU +...

At 23 liters, it's a bit too large for my taste - but once you get over that, there is a lot to love. The SFX PSU replacing the three last PCI-e expansion slots is one such thing. Is it also possible to use an mATX board with the first four slots and an ATX PSU the last four slots? The airflow...

Loving this. Was thinking the other day if I should build a small compile box with a high-performant (3950X) Ryzen, a low-profile cheap GPU and enough RAM, but small enough to fit on my work desk. The tower I have now is simply taking up a LOOOOOT of space. Is the setup shown brickless, and...

Liking it so far. Another use case could be a high-end headless compute box with a 3900X or possibly even a 3950X. Put in a temporary GPU while installing the OS, remove it once an IP address and remote login is enabled...

Yeah, like I said, worth to keep an eye on it; It's fast approaching Solidworks for generic CAD, but it is lacking for sheet metals and assembly, so not a true contender yet. This is also why I recommend it strictly to hobbyists for now. :) Still, compared to the status just a couple of years...

For hobbyists it might also be a good idea to keep an eye on freeCAD. It keeps evolving at a dizzying pace!

Yeah, I was thinking that putting the GPU on top shouldn't be that bad, but then I remembered the stand would cover the front I/O. Of course, if you have the vandal switch configuration this is much less of a problem. Putting the case to the left of the screen in this configuration would be a...

I would probably still connect the PSU bracket to the extension cards bracket and fasten with a screw or two, and do the same thing with the extension cards bracket and the left holder. Since you already have screw holes there, this would provide enough structural integrity to the case to make...

Any reference card usually has an aftermarket waterblock, but a 140mm radiator probably won't be enough to handle both CPU and GPU. Hey, that gives me a stupid idea, @K888D is a distro plate option for the front or the GPU side worth some consideration, like the Dice Flow case? Might be hard to...

I think the Corsair is a decent PSU, and the Aorus X570 I Pro WiFi saves you a few bucks as well. Both are good options for sure. 4400 MHz is not really worth it at the moment, you need an awesome motherboard to handle it and even then you might see a 2-3% increase or something like that. Not...

Coolers, fans: fair enough ? though both slim guarantee a positive air pressure, a 25x92mm should shuffle about as much air as a 15x140mm. 140 intake, 92 outtake ofc. PSU: a 450W works, but a 650W gives room to grow to more power hungry components in the future. Though it largely seems that era...

Yep, though nothing beats some healthy competition, that is how we get new great products! :D I really love the innovation this forum brings, so many great cases... So little money... ='(

First off: Where is your screen at? It's pretty pointless to build a 1440p@300FPS monster if all you can output is a mere 1080p@60Hz. This is the single most important factor today - which resolution and refresh rate are you targeting? If you have no plans on getting a 1440p@144Hz soon, then...

Thanks for the answer. Sounds like a risky proposition then, I think I will go for the 580 or 590 instead of the same brand. :)
