Hello SFF,
I'm new here and I didn't post in any Forum for Years...I used a lot of Ideas here to know, what sort of build I want to make , if the DA2 is the right case for me or rather take a Ghost S1... after a lot of reading I knew: none of Both.
I though it would be nice, to give some feedback of my build... maybe it can also inspire someone
Previous Build was total passive with no fan (Based on ASrock z270 + i7700k and a Big NoFan cooler in the Silverstone FT03B) - here a Pic:
Was a good and .. silent .. PC, but because of the big NoFan cooler, I had to use the onboard graphics.
I have space at home, but I hate to have some Server like case I a room... Don't feel good for me. The Shift X is for sure not the smallest, but it's different and it looks great!!!
To keep all things cool and also remain quite --> I go for full Watercooling. My first time. And as I like the difficulties hard tubes, custom loop.
So to the build:
Pics first - Bill of Material at the end:
BOM:
Main Components:
Issues: not much... 2 which are worth mentioning:

Issues: not much... 2 which are worth mentioning:
- the Dust filters are a great problem for the air flow... so I removed them. It brings a great improvement of the cooling.
- I'm not satisfied with the possibilities to control the Waterloop. Gigabyte Motherboard is quite scarce on tuning possibilities, mainly because you can't plug an external T° Sensor (Water Temperature)
