Did it help? I did the same on mine but I still didn't get to building in it, just got the parts recently... I'm still thinking about cooling setup too...

Honestly, I'd just get a different CPU cooler, that one looks like crap. You can get a tower cooler, use the back fan as intake instead of exhaust and use PSU as exhaust or elevate the case some more and have the tower intake air from the bottom and back fan as exhaust, you can get a larger...

Hello...I am soon to be owner of the Metis, the non-Plus version, with small acrylic side window. A guy from the local tech forum is willing to sell me his modded Metis, with 2 fans mounts at top (for 20€, heh). I have plans to upgrade my old Haswell i5 ATX rig and go SFF. I don't have the main...

Is that bottom fan set to exhaust? I believe it would be better if it is, to get rid of hot air that might be trapped somewhere...

If the case is raised enough, it's actually pretty effective in smaller SFF cases. EDIT: my post is few pages late...damn browser dropped me on the wrong page -.-

I agree. There's basically no reason to get the 570 over 580, the benefits of 580 for only +1L are huge. Honestly, SM570 might as well be scrapped to free up production time and resources. Similar might be said for SM550 vs. SM560 but 1.3L of volume difference is more noticeable in 10L category...

There will be a distributer for Europe? Also, will 570 and 580 have better support for SFX-L than two smaller ones?

joerg83 Which agent did you use for Taobao, how did all that go? I live in Serbia and I'm considering getting some case from Taobao, but I'm not sure which agent to go through and how much would that cost me... Also, is it possible to get this case with vented aluminium side panels instead of...

IIRC, the feet are removable. In fact, I would advise replacing them for taller ones - with PSU exausting down and a fan mount and CPU cooler right next to it, this case should be raised high so it doesn't recycle hot air... If you place it horizontally, like you're thinking of, it's not...

Allow me to copy/paste my comment on Velka 6 thread on /r/sffpc: "Finally a case with proper ventilation, not plain metal boxes with tiny holes or aquariums. I really like the layout. However, I have a gripe...it's 2019 and GPUs are getting beefier and beefier. The casemakers should really...

Great timing, heh...I'm planning an upgrade from my Haswell i5 in near future as well as a downsize from Define R4 to some SFF case. I'm much more active on /r/SFFPC than here, but...I hope that doesn't rule me out. Great job with this giveaway and big thanks to Fractal for making it...
