How do you like that flex psu? It looks like the flex guru right?Been a hot minute, but finally got all the parts I needed. SATA powers ran incase I feel a need to double-stick tape some additional SSDs. PCIe slot is free for Anything else I feel like I need to stick in there, but this homelab is setup pretty nicely. 4c/8t, 128 GB of RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, 2x10G NICs. Last thing this needs is some rubber and plastic washers for those 3 fans, they got some serious vibration happening.

@Thehack The PSU works alright, but due to mounting holes, you have to have the cable bend face towards the case wall rather than towards the motherboard. This actually works out as it is just the perfect fit if you use wall anchors as ziptie mount points and can keep the cables run under the power button and the excess on the PSU's wall over the RAM.
Also, the cooler is an active 1U CPU cooler. Fan is 50mmx10mm but it's really not that loud, and it keeps the CPU well cool (it's a 35w CPU). I'd want to replace it, but the way it's mounted would require taking the cooler completely off and this isn't a friendly board to do that. The backplace is stuck on the back with adhesive and it's direct on die cooling (SoC board), so uneven pressure while mounting or dismounting could crack the die and would kill any warrenty I got. So I'll probably do it in like a year or something for fun
@smitty2k1 The case fans are 50mmx10mm. They're the Fractal Silent Series R3's, but due to mounting hard plastic and screws to hold the fans in place, there is a lot of vibration. I've already ordered some additional Noctua rubber fanmounts to quiet that up in the coming month. I'd have gone with Noctuas if they made a 50mm size, but unfortunately the closest size I could get would be 40mmx10mm and that'd be less effective without some plastic piece to cover the vents on the sides. The fans are mainly to get some airflow for the 10g Nic or to cool an addin card if/when I feel like adding one without obstructing it
@Jello Thanks!
@Thehack
1. how can one mount SSDs in the case in the GPU area ??
2. is there a pci slot cover available with the case if a GPU is not being used ??
2. No there is not. I'll see if it is possible, but I'm very busy to take on smaller projects.
I have slot covers I can use, am I correct in assuming the case cover provides the clamping force to the PCI brackets on the GPU ??
Also, what is the width of the GPU chamber from the outer edge to the m/b edge
Also, I'm assuming you're referring to the amount of space from the edge of the motherboard to the inner side of the case?
I am considering the Pure X but I do have some questions:
Can it be put upright, tower-like?
Can the Shuriken 3 be rotated, to have fins showing towards case fans? If not, why not, what should be modified?
Why do we need special brackets for different cards? I would like to use a 10GbE card.
Shuriken 3 is specified to 69mm, so with some motherboards it would be to high. Can I consider every AM4 board compatible?
Thank you
Fitting a 15mm Noctua fan instead of Scythe's 17mm would be a way too.I think it is possible that the Big Shuriken is measured a bit generously.
