I've built AMD Ryzen 5 3600 on ASRock ITX/TB3 inside Nouvolo Steck. Here's a video of the build.


This was my first SFF build and first time building after 20 years or so. Lots of back and forth :) but it was interesting. I like this case - especially how it's easy to build with just the spine and then attach everything else. But I can't really recommend it since the side panels need at least 4+4 rows or holes on top and bottom to truly be ventilated. The way it's now, fans can't work properly as 1/3 of their height is blocked with solid metal.


The bottom side is also not ventilated enough, thus I paid a visit to local water jet shop and they cut a 105mm hole for 12x25 fan to do its magic.

Still, it was an interesting experience and I know a lot more now, as I get ready for future builds.

Decided to try setting the fan as exhaust and then re-visited cable management. Very happy with the final result.
