I also did not really like the material in that game. Now I personally order the material at the aluminum plant.
We try to correct inaccuracies.
The power cable is really not the best. If anyone knows where to order good, I will be grateful.

So the work on improving the buildings continues. In the ranks of the SFX has increased. Now, two new revisions are available for the liquid cooling installation. Protopiles have already been ordered.
I have the case and I would be worried about transporting in a backpack. This case bends if you grab it roughly, it is made of a very malleable metal.
Was thinking, I could use a G-Unique PSU with an external brick, and instead of having the SFX PSU there, use a short (<180mm) GPU and have a 92mm radiator with a push pull config in that spot. Easy 4.5GHz overclock on my 6700k with that, althought at the expense of an external PSU and a short GPU.
To anyone who has this case and is using the Corsair SFX series PSU, do you have trouble with your GPU touching/resting on the psu? The backplate of my zotac 1080 mini extends just onto the psu and it causes it to not lay flat and gives problems with closing the side of the case.
I'm a little confused on what case I should go for, maybe someone could help me out here? I'd like to fit an EVGA GTX 1080 SC + 240MM AIO + 2x 2.5" SSD + Corsair SF600, and I'd also like a case window if possible. Which one is right for me, and are there options on the window (glass?)/does anyone have photos of a similar setup to what I just described?
Suffix SFX aio 8.9L rev.3.0 but for better ventilation I advise SFX aio 9.5L rev.4.0.
I can offer transparent side covers made of acrylic (plexiglass 2mm)
Do you have any photos of what that looks like? I can't find any of the 9.5L or the 8.9L
Here are some photos of my case.
Unfortunately I have to say I am disappointed in the overall quality of the case. Initially, the panels lined up pretty well and the case looked well maufactured but right away I noticed the base was tilted. This tilt causes the case not to sit flat and this gives the case an annoying wobble. Also, in order to fit the components there was a lot of pushing and pulling and the case is made of very malleable material, resulting in some warping. Even with a mini form factor GPU I was forced to make modifications to the case just to make it fit and in the end the side panel still had to be bent in order to close.
The dust filters were as advertised, I would recommend skipping it if you are considering buying this case. If you are so concerned about dust and want a filter, get a legitimate one from a company that specializes in filters as these ones are attached without framing using adhesive directly to the panels.
It was very hard to build in this case. One of the screws for mounting the PSU is almost impossible to get to with a screw driver (The one which is close to the motherboard and outer panel. I could not get a screw driver in position to utilize one of the motherboard standoffs either, although the motherboard was such a tight fit to get in in the first place that I am not worried about only having 3 standoffs screwed in. Not to mention the GPU side issues.
Do not buy this case if you are not interested in something that takes some work, it feels a bit unfinished compared to other cases I have seen in person which are the Silverstone SG13, the Zaber Sentry, and the Dan Case.
I did a GPU stress test burn in using FurMark and thermals never rose above 79 degrees Celsius which is the same as when I had my Fractl Define Nano S. So the thermals for this case are excellent.

That warping is absolutely ridiculous if I may say. No way that should be happening..
Thanks for all the pictures. Sorry to hear about the warping. Hopefully they are using better metal now.
Unbelievably small .

Thank you for your honest feedback.
We constantly work and improve this model of the case.
Metal now order separately and it is more durable than in that lot. I'm sorry that it happened with metal.
Important update!
The SFX 5.9L case is designed for installation of thin video cards with a thickness of not more than 38mm. As a rule, reference models will do. However, when installing a long video card, they are very close to the power supply. We recommend that you install a mini graphics card with a length up to 180mm. If you are planning to install a large video card, then it is better to order a case of SFX 6.2L

Thank you so much for following through by posting a TON of nice pictures, as well as your impressions! So far some reviews have been positive and others not so much. Hopefully the quality will continue to improve with each batch...
