Moving away from the NFC S4 Mini Classic, finished my build and was really never happy with what I had to do to make that case "work"
I had this Cerberus X just sitting around to be used, so I think now is a good time to move away from NFC.
Have
- Intel i7 8700K
- G-Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4 2400
- Asus ROG Strix Z390-E
- Corsair SF600 Gold
- Samsung 970 Evo 250GB (Win10 OS) (EK M.2 Heat Sink)
- Samsung 970 Evo 250GB (Mojave OS) (EK M.2 Heat Sink)
- Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 2TB
- Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 2TB
- Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 2TB
- Micron 2TB SSD
- Noctua NH-C14S
- Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX580 8GB Special Edition
- Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX580 8GB Special Edition
- EK M.2 Heat Sink
Really thought I was going to go AMD but I really needed to build a hackintosh that was stable with Final Cut Pro X. My new travel rig will be a 2018 Mac Mini with RX580 EGPU / 2018 iPad Pro as a monitor.
I had the case powercoated with BMW's Marina Blue and just a Matte Black.
The Z390 boards are coming with integrated IO shields with is awesome. Having ATX in a SFF case is imo the best of both worlds.
The VRM fan is a nice plus as well, another reason I didnt go AMD was because of my ram. Upgrading to DDR4 3200 was a pain for me.
Need to have some brackets made to hold 4 2.5" drives, Went with 2 Noctua 140mm fans and 1 Noctua 92mm fan
Waiting for new parts to arrive.
I have my old S4 Mini Classic and Arch Daemon for sale.
