Log NFC S4M-C #031 Minimalist Build

[RenG]

After 8 long years, I have finally been able to build on my S4M-C. The concept behind this build is to minimize the use of cables to achieve a clean appearance with a black and white theme. Here are the specifications:

• Case: NFC S4M-C
• Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650I AORUS Ultra Mini-ITX AM5
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
• CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9a-AM5
• CPU fan: ID-COOLING TF-9215
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX A2000
• RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB
• Storage:
  • 2 x Crucial T500 2TB Gen4 NVMe
  • 1 x Crucial T500 1TB Gen4 NVMe
• PSU: HDPLEX Direct Plug 200W DC-ATX + 200W AC-DC

I still have to figure out a design for the cable cover on top of the PSU. But overall, I am happy with the build and I just want to share it here.

Congratulations on finally completing an amazing build!

This is a VERY early case, wow.
What do you call the paint job on your S4M-C?

Truly a personification of the meme "It's been 84 years" gif... lol, what made you wait so long to build in it, I'm curious.

EDIT: I have that SAME laptop holder as a stand for my S4M-C also! NEATO

Thanks! As per Josh, this finish is called Black Oxide.

I didn't think my last system would last 10 years lol. Just very recently it started showing its age. So I figured it's about time to build this.

Nice! This was a last-minute purchase, but I was surprised by how well it fit. Almost as if it was made specifically for this case.
