On your description, you said it can fit up to 3 x 2.5" drives. Are you able to advise exactly around which part of the case those drives will sit in?

Two would sit behind the gpu (max 2 slot for gpu) and third one above cpu cooler (will limit the cpu cooler height)

Ok I did some test fitting with "4090":




It is a special matte black edition, 1/1 in the world. It fits, tightly of course :D

I have a 5 7600 and a Asus dual 4070 super.
My Axp120-67 does a fabulous job but it will not fit. I’m thinking about modifying the side panel. Any ideas?

Honestly I would just get some 47mm tall cooler, there are some cheap good ones and 7600 is really easy to cool. Otherwise you could just add some M-F M3 standoffs to the left panel.

I already undervolted and optimized it with the axp120-67 in Noise and thermals. There is a big test with the 47mm on SFF compared to 67mm. 8-9 degrees difference could be a lot in smaller cases.

People are really obcessed with temps these days as a reminder as long as the cpu stays decently cool (around 80°), perform well and is quiet it is a pass, a ryzen 7600 should be easy enouth to cool. Personally I'm going to try the 5700x3d. With cryonaut thermal paste and the accessory that you put on top of the l9a to create an air tunnel. I think it should pass but I will only see once it is done

This case has a very clear goal: Be the most compact console style case that can still fit 3 slot GPUs (including reference 4090!)

If you expect wider parts compatibility (SATA SSDs, larger air cooling, ASUS ROG Strix GPU, whatever) there are other cases out there like the super pretty Fractal Design Ridge.
