Completed DSE Breathe - A 7.3L Vertical Format ITX Tower

[gunpalcyril]

@DSE if by adding 1cm from 115mm increases the cpu max height by 1cm, then I'm for it. It adds more cooler compatibility, as well as reducing noise from turbulence from cryorig c7 users. the sound difference from using the c7 to l9a is significant inside the breathe case.

*Edit: I used the same noctua 92mm fan for both the cryorig c7 and noctua nh l9a

@DSE currently out of stock. on sliger's site, it says august 1st. will you have stocks by then? is it v2 or v3?

@DSE The extra 10mm will allow a ton of interesting options, I think that if you go that route it would be awesome to allow mointing the PSU in both the GPU and mobo areas for a ton of versatility. It would allow people to use a short GPU and use the space freed up to make a killer custom loop. Beyond that, the AR06, ID-cooling IS-60, Reevansteropes RC-1206b and even the stock AXP-100 muscle can fit (you could feasibly fit two fans on the AXP) and so, so many more.

The flipside is you'd have a 7.94L case

I really want army tan color

Email sliger when you order the case. If I ever buy an SM550 or another breathe I'll probably do so myself

BTW @KSliger do you think you could sell some side panels on the next run based on a pre-order? If it wouldn't cost too much I'd love to get another panel set in tan (steel or aluminum, both would work)

Thank you for your reply I'll buy it! on 8/1

Can i use ASUS ROG GTX1080TI O11G STRIX ON THIS CASE?

and what is the best Cpu cooler with breathe?

Nope and the best cooler depends on your socket.

LGA 2011 narrow ILM - Dynatron T318
LGA 2066 - Dynatron T15
AM4 - Modded T318, LP53 or c7 cu
115x - Lp53 or c7 cu or modded T15/T318
Kmpkt's upcoming cooler will likely be a very good contender for AM4/115x

I recomendthese 1080 ti's right now, based on performance and price.
Cheeeaaaap triple fan from gigabyte ($679)
Very nice high end card from EVGA ($804)
Zotac mini if you want to try cramming more hard drives or try watercooling ($679)

The gigabyte card blows away the competition at it's price but be careful, it does not it have a backplate. Buy a big-ass thermal pad and use the case to improve cooling

Or get a plastic sheet

Well, my cryorig 140mm slim fan is performing a few c better than the noctua 120 but is signifigantly louder.

Hows the noise overall with using the noctua 120?

Really good, I'd say it's on par with the a9 exhausting. The 140 gets an instant nope, being the loudest so far

Edit
Meant exhaust, not intake

I don't suppose there's a chance of a "special edition" version with the bird's nest side panels? That's something I'd plop down cash for really quick.

 

[gunpalcyril]

Like @Sparkles I'd be so down for a unique vent cutout, really liked the voronoi pattern.

@DSE I think have a cool idea that I think could be a nice addition rather than revision to breathe, but I don't know if this is the right place to talk about it, don't want to thread jack lol

So I bought a "shorty" 24-pin cable for my SF-600 from Ensourced. It's 99% awesome, it's the perfect length and really helped me clean up my build. Unfortunately the reason it wasn't a 100% awesome cable is because I had to turn my PSU over to use it! (not optimal for airflow!)

The tabs on the cable are both on the same side, something to keep in mind if you order from Ensourced. They're an awesome site and i'm sure they would have reversed one end of the cable had I asked. Just something to keep in mind if anyone is considering a short 24-pin cable and has an SF series PSU.

Also, anyone have any recommendations for SATA cables and 8-pin CPU cable routing?

Do you intend to create a mini version in the future with tfx type power?

Has anyone tried a Morpheus II cooler on their GPU? I think that may be a problem to those loud FTW3 coolers.

Nope, I don't think bird's nest or voronoi is likely to be made. Although I've always thought that a special edition would be fun. I just don't think it's worth it.

Nope, never crossed my mind.

Anyways, sorry about being rather quiet recently, guys. Just been hard at work on V3. It's been my everyday for the past two and a half weeks. I'm hoping to make a lot of people happy with it.

I really appreciate you guys who step in and answer questions for me.

Hopefully I can pull back the curtains on V3 soon.

Almost certainly too tall

@DSE I don't know what on earth I'm supposed to do with this case. The side panels simply cannot be unscrewed, no matter who I ask to try and do it. They seem almost fused to the case, and will not budge no matter how hard I try. I almost snapped my screwdriver in half trying to unscrew them
