This is my first S4M build.
I came across this case when surfing on youtube and loved what I saw, first for the size and quality.
I wanted to build a home theater media pc to access all my Movies and TV Shows. It had to run Unraid w/Plex server. I wanted to access my files via the Plex app on my QLED Samsung Smart T.V. So this is my build.

  • S4M Case
  • Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac
  • HDPLEX 160W DC-ATX
  • 240W Dell PA-9E PS
  • AMD - A8-9600 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
  • Patriot Ram PSD48G2400K x2
  • Noctua CPU Fan NH-L9a-AM4
  • Noctua Chassis Fan NF-A9x14 x2
  • 4Tb WD 3.5” drive x2 (media)
  • XPG SX6000 128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe (cache)

Thank you so much for posting this! Some people want to see dual 3.5" HDDs installed but there are very few examples.

Peace my friend

I did have to drill 2 holes on each side to mount to case then used standoffs to hold up the drives in the centre of case without screwing into bottom cover
