Before I disassemble my AP 201, I gonna take a few pics and post em here. Because currently, there is NO GPU inside. Talk about unused space

Gotta admit, since I've started reading this thread, a lot of the stuff I see in eg. r/watercooling (and the complains) feel like: "uhm, sorry, I can fit my current MFF PC inside yours like .. 4 times! And still would have space to build a 5th system there!" (SO MUCH UNUSED SPACE ARGH!!!"323 *does not compute*)

the build:



This thing does not use an I/O shield. You just pass through your usb cables and network through the back in a small hole. To access the back of the motherboard, you have to open the glass front panel.

I'll contribute a personal monstrosity from back in the day, complete with plenty of RGB. I'm proud to say my next setup was SFF and I've never gone back. I remember when that first SFF case showed up I put it inside this thing and took a picture.

Apparently, this is the daily driver from the ExplainingComputers youtube channel studio tour video for reaching 1M subscribers. Sad that we're not able to peak inside.

The guy is an absolute legend btw. Everything is coherent and authentic from the dude himself, his voice, the pauses he has at the end of the introducing each video, to the asthetics and sounds. His content is also very informative and easy to understand. 1M well deserved.

God damn, look at that yellowed SNES action going on. Yeah, I've watched some of that dude's content but I can't even remember what the videos were on lmao.

That one I can kind of understand...It is clearly a NAS build, and there aren't very many NAS cases that aren't full towers or bigger.

I'm sure with an ITX board they could run something like https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/DS380/

Hell, even this would would work with the current hardware: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/CS351/

I've got a CS381b - brilliant case for NAS use. I'm not sure it counts as SFF, but probably not quite anti-SFF either
