Production The First - Monsterlabo High Performance SFF case & Fanless CPU / GPU
- Thread starter yeahe - ML
- Start date
Update 19/03/26:
1/ We received the cables missing and we will send last case of Batch 1/2 this week.
EDIT: Most of them has been sent today !!!
2/ The website will be updated in the following days to include options to the shop. This may cause some troubles.
3/ An other PC has been sent to a French media for review
4/ We have tested some GPU this weekend.
@SombreSire --> Yes I think he missed my beautiful video
@Nord1ing
Please find the CAD file you can use to modify.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3518791
Also you can find a 3D printed version of the back panel on which you can mount more USB.
Please don't hesitate to come back to us if you are interested. We have tested and it works well.

4/ We have tested some GPU this weekend.
- RTX 2060 & 2070 are working well on The First
--> We will share performance. This is working better than 1080 which has smaller die.
- RTX 2080 & more should be used carefully
--> At full load on Furmark, RTX 2080 power consumption reach 230W.
--> This power is higher than what can be transfered by the heatpipe.
--> Heatsink performance is then strongly decreased when GPU power is over 190W.
This GPU can be used by limiting the power & avoiding intensive benchmark.

The prebuild configurations are online on the website. Great job on the shop!
Do the prebuild configurations come with the Noctua fan installed?

LTT review is up on floatplane already
Thanks, Elisa did a great job !
On the pre build configuration Fan as VRM heatsink are installed.
Performance test is shared / custom back panel is possible.
We still need to add fanless oriented PSU as some options
Final look
P.S.: Bottom plat of "The First" should be turned by 180 degrees compared to render
There it is:

So nice !! Have you tested it by 3D printing ?
It's really close to the one we designed.
--> But I'm not really satisfied with as it is because it's still a lot of part.
Also it will be difficult to be compatible to different skin version.
I have other ideas I need to test.
If can share this version on thingiverse if you want.

No, I have not tested it yet, I only checked the ability to print using 3dhubs. No printing problems were detected (creating a .stl before loading into 3dhubs).
In my experience, printing holes on a vertical surface can be tricky, but still much better than having two horizontal surfaces at different heights in the same part (where you need to put spacers to print the detail correctly).
I will be able to print in May, I think.
Can you upload only 2 parts - USB 3.0 and Power + Audio connectors so that I can check the intersections?
I will test for myself the thermal efficiency of 200 mm versus 140 mm on top (actually 200 mm versus 120 mm, because I do not have a 2nd 140 mm fan )
Installing the lower skin of the case, apparently, greatly affects the thermal performance, while rendering images (in Rhino 3D), the processor heats up to 73 with a power consumption of 150 W at max.
Therefore, I think to check the thermal performance by replacing the lower skin with dust filters.

I created a group on thingiverse.
So we can link all 3D creation into this group dedicated to Monsterlabo PC.
You can find front panel assembly on thingiverse

Update:
- Some build shown on the website with comments in a new section
https://www.monsterlabo.com/community
Please share your pictures, performances and comments... This will help us to improve the product.
Soon even more information with build log, performance & assembly challenge !!
- Power button V2 is available for thus who have problem as Linus Please send us a message.
- Some skin testing.

What do you think ?
A real test of the product
- performance of the cooling (please check with us if it's well mounted), as our customer did
- condition of the test / power of components regarding temps (ambient & die)
- use a GPU without coil whine
- use a mobo compatible
- Respect the power "recommended" for a fanless solution
- We can speak also about back plate, V2 already available (we will do a V3 soon compatible with USB-C) & power button V2 available
- Speak about customization as back panel & eveyrthing.
- consider for which kind of people it's made, artist / pro / engineers lab & so on / sound system / 4K gaming near TV ...
- Enjoy a high power Fanless solution
& take your time
As you know we can discuss it and comment everything. Thx again for your time and work.
EDIT : performance test made in the next post

Some pictures of the last PC assembled.
GTX 1080 + 6700K + SSD + SGX 650W --> Delivered in FR to Seb next week
Performances are:
With ambient 16°C - Aida64 bench - fully closed chassis
An other exemple made yesterday on the 2nd LTT PC that came back (not tested in the video !!?).
It has moved a little due to the fact they missed to fix the package and avoided to use the external cardboard ...
Hopefully it's still working.
RTX2070 + Intel8500 + SSD + SGX 650W:
With ambient 16.5°C - Aida64 bench - fully open chassis
---> Tomorrow, live assembly & testing with RTX2070 & 9600K
