I mean everyone has their own situation. As for me, I know I will fly to multiple cities with this build in the future. I wish to go the safe route, get an air cooler and not worry about AIO on plane
I tried searching this thread and didn't find anything - what are the lengths recommended for custom cables? (ATX board + SFX psu)
I'm super excited to see your results. I completely forgot about the AXP-90!
EDIT: Been doing a lot of research the past few days on cooling. There is a LOT of conflicting information on what cools better. A lot of places I'm seeing the AXP-90 as performing the best but other places list the BlackRidge as the best. I've even seen the C7g cited as being best. I guess I'll just have to wait and test for myself.

Got a USPS update that my case has arrived stateside, now I just need it to arrive locally. I can't wait!
No need, I will post an update hopefully around Friday. Just follow this topic and you're golden

Damn lucky, mines been stuck in Canadian customs for like business 4 days lol
I'm interested on the case but curious to see which cpu cookers can go with it. I imagine the scythe big shuriken 2 rev b (58mm) is just impossible to fit. What about the Alpenföhn Black Ridge? Presumably 47mm but pushing the air outwards, rather than inwards.
lmao, we all waiting. I was checking the tracking status almost 3 times per day. So excited.
Yeah, super excited for a case this form factor that can handle full sized boards. No more having to get the top of the line mini ITX boards just to ensure they have decent VRMS. Bought a MSI b450i gaming pls ac for $170 CAD, which is the same price as a middle of the line x470 board. Hell there's even lower end x570 boards for only $10 more.
Pretty much the same reason that got me to try this board. For the same money I'd spend on an itx board with mid-tier VRMs I can get a top of the line ATX board.
but if your concern is about decent VRM, then isnt the B450i from MSI a good buy? In my place, I dont see any AMD board that has 6 phases for the same price.
It's a good buy yes and I'm happy with it, but there's ATX x470 + x570 boards with much better overall features. More m.2 slots (mine only has 1 and on the back of the mobo), better onboard audio, more fan headers, 4 ram slots vs only 2, USB 3. 2 Gen2. Better bios support, my motherboard has a super basic bios since the mobo doesn't have enough onboard memory for the ryzen 3000 chipset. They had to make quite a few compromises there for it to fit.
There's quite a few ATX x570 boards from MSI for $170-$200. Meanwhile the cheapest mini itx x570 I can find is $299.
So it will be nice to know in the future I don't have to be so limited in my selection.
Black Ridge will fit no problem! shuriken wont unfortunately.
If you buy 2 cases shipping costs less per case, that's right.
Just finished my build in the P-ATX case, it was a great experience and the case is very well designed. I reused an ITX board I already had but intend to swap in an ATX motherboard with my next upgrade. If you are looking for full ATX compatibility with a decent GPU in 9 litres I can recommend the P-ATX. Parts list for the build is below.
