Story:
Last year, I modded a Spire Powercube 715 case to fit my Cooler Master N200 build. This is the one that started me off looking for smaller and smaller builds, and since then I've learned a LOT from everyone here and other communities online.
Parts List:

Issues:
I didn't have much success undervolting my Ryzen 5 1400, and I'll have to undo my build to really figure out why. For these reasons it's just sitting stock everything for now. I had a hard time getting exact measurements for max gpu length when I was buying the case, but seeing as my card is 255 and it's super snug I'm gonna go with a conservative 256.
Conclusion:
The powercube is a super cheap case that was fun to work in, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to build mATX with a semi-full size gpu. I'm glad I built it, and I'm excited to build something even smaller next time!
*I'm going to link my old imgur album, but there have been some updates since then I hope to have uploaded this evening.
