@CircleTect, modular internal frames will be awesome. I would love to purchase them when they are ready!
I received the FSP FlexATX 500w power supply. I never realized how small they are. The PSU fan spins up to max rpm for a couple of seconds during boot and it does sound like a server fan. However during regular use, extended gaming, or extended cpu and gpu stress, the FlexATX fans never got as loud as during boot.
I couldn’t get either of my 240mm AIOs (Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme S, and Enermax Liqfusion 240) to fit with the 2080FE and FlexATX in the case. It was like a puzzle shifting the components around, but ultimately went with a 120mm AIO to improve CPU thermals over the Cryorig C7 Cu. The radiator sits on the back half of the top cover. I mounted the A12x25 below the Corsair H75 radiator. This allowed the radiator barbs to be further away from the GPU, and less kink to the tubing. Having the 120mm radiator mounted directly under the top cover meant that that I am limited to fitting a 92mm fan towards the front of the top cover.
Here are some pictures GPU side. The brown fan is kind of an eyesore... but I wanted to first test thermals with the best 120mm fan I had, and maybe switching to a Redux in there for aesthetics. I put the SSD mount back in the case to help hide the fixed ketchup and mustard cables coming out of the FlexATX:
SSD on top of the PSU to hide the bare galvanized sheet metal. I might wrap the PSU in black vinyl in the future, and move the SSD to the opposite side, below the GPU. That’s thermal paste on the front panel, not scratches:
The H75 fits quite nicely in there:
You can see the 92mm fan up top, also set to exhaust:
I am pretty happy with the thermals, and looks so far. The 2080 FE does run warm, but acceptable. I intend to collect all these, and future updates into a separator Build Log.
