Hi there!

Used to have 27-inch my iMac '11, upgraded to full-spec (i7 2600, 2xSSD, GeForce GTX 780M, twelve Gb of RAM, 802.11ac etc), but...
It was too weak for modern games title, 4K, h.265 and decided to sell it and build a brand new PC.

Inspired with some YouTube bloggers and common research, made my mind making a tiny case build, mini-ITX (not a micro-ATX)!

Target case case & design, of course, was a Ghost S1-ish, but an original case is: 1) too rare to find; 2) too expensive when find, so I found an used S1 Ersatz (named Kevcases) in pretty good condition. With case I also bought a Alpenföhn Black Ridge CPU cooler.

Total build specs are:

MotherboardASUS STRIX H370-I GAMING
CaseKevcases S1 clone (black)
CPU CoolerEKL Alpenföhn Black Ridge
CPU Cooler FanScythe Kaze Flex Slim 120 PWM [KF1215FD12-P]
Case ARGB FanCooler Master MASTERFAN SF120R ARGB [MFX-B2DN-20NPA-R1]
GPUASUS STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING
SSDSAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S250BW
RAMKingston HyperX FURY Black [HX430C15FB3K2/16]
SFX PSUCorsair SF600 Platinum
PSU modular cable setC-Cables custom red set
Case cooler filterEvercool FGF-120/M/BK
MonitorHP Envy 27s

I ordered a custom red SF600 cable set in red to perfectly match with a black case, cooler and GPU.
Mobo, GPU and bottom case cooler do also support ASUS Aura (it goes in rainbow cycle and it is looking damn cool!).

Product is noiseless and cold in standby, intensive gaming does not overheat (within 60 degrees of Celsius).
