    Going from mATX (Inwin 301) to mITX (Node 202)

    Need some advice over this build I'm planning. My current one is <https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ddrhhy>, but I'm in need of something more portable for travel (esp. international flights where there's a weight limit of 7kg on hand carry) which is beefy enough to do 3d compositing, rendering...

    Node 202 Build w/ R9 Fury

    Short story, my wife did not like my test stand PC setup and made me store it away when I wasn't using it. I stumbled on SFF builds shortly after and have been researching since. I wanted to keep as many of my original components as possible which landed me at the Node 202 for my case of choice...

    My little friend that punches upward -- watercooled node 202

    Hi all! Who needs more than 11L of space, puh. So I built myself a watercooled Node 202 to upgrade from my laptop. I looked at a lot of peepz on the internet on how to do it, and kept the best ideas from all of them. First I made the hole between the two compartiments for the cables just big...

    HDPlex (400w) In Node202?

    Ordered a hdplex to see if I could free up some space for a 120 rad for an aio liquid cooler for my ryzen 1600. Since it seems like if its possible an aio in the node or upcoming sentry would be great cooler if it can fit. I received some two sided thermal tape to mount the hdplex, only to...

    Some new builds and a question on an old.

    Howdy all. For the new; So, I have an i7 6850k and a i7 7700k on the way. I could use suggestions on the smallest case for a mATX mobo that can do two large GPUs in a 2 way SLI configuration (such as the ASUS ROG series 1080 GPUs) while having adequate enough airflow to be quiet at load. I'd...

    Node 202 | LM V.1

    Hey there! So i actually started a PC build, hadn't planned to do a build before Cerberus was out however it seemed like that could take some time. The case I decided on was the Node 202 from Fractal Design with the bundled PSU because although quite large and the PSU rather loud it was good...

    Cooling Best low-profile 120mm case fans?

    Howdy! Well, I have the Node 202 version of my system built, but the GPU is hitting 83C when doing prolonged stress tests and throttling in my new STRIX 1080 when in manufacturer's OC mode and fans auto max at 50%. I'm thinking getting a 120 mm fan or two in the GPU compartment would help...

    Best mini-ITX with vertical GPU and window?

    So, after discovering my girlfriend quite liked the "aura" lighting feature on my new Asus Geforce 1070 STRIX card (and discovering that the SilverStone RVZ02B + SilverStone 700 watt SFX-L PSU were a no-go combo if I wanted to keep the case panels on), I'm trying to find a mini-ITX case that...
