@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!
