I'm thinking strongly about the Ghost S1. I love the design and interior layout idea and how moddable it could be.
The CPU cooling I believe is the biggest hurdle though. I read all their tests and the air cooler is alright but the fan needs to run in high RPM on the small fan on the Nuctua NH-L12.
Buying a 240mm AIO is a possiblity but cost a bit with AIO+TOPHAT L. I still consider that though.

Anyways. The my short GPU has plenty of space. So I was thinking.

What if I replace the SFX-L PSU with the HDPLEX400W. Put it next to the GPU where I have space because it's a short GPU.

With all this extra space next to my motherboard a 120mm AIO would fit but bending tubes bit to much I think. It could be dope to have something like a GPU cooling block that extends from the Motherboard over to the empty space next to it. Doing a double fan solution.
But I guess that needs to be a custom air cooler job. And I don't really have those skills.

What would you do if you got this extra space next to the Motherboard?




Basic cad in correct measurements though.

Blue is GPU, red is HDPLEX400W
