That is gorgeous. Great job on the cabling, I really like the dual wire sleeving. IMO individually sleeved cables make no sense whatsoever for SFF.Too bad about the thermals though. Those panels do look very restrictive, so it's not quite surprising, and I would guess you'd have a lot of recirculation without any direct intakes or exhausts. Should be possible to alleviate though:- Add a duct/shroud/rubber seal around the top of the CPU cooler, sealing it to the top panel and ensuring no recirculation there? Rubber draft excluders for windows and doors might work, and look pretty decent if cut carefully.- Add one or more small exhaust fans on the sides? Would likely be noisy though.- Beyond that you'd likely need to expand the side panel vents, which sounds messy and complicated.
