Here's an Imgur album that goes over the basics -
CPU: Intel i7-8700k
Motherboard: Asus Z390-i Strix
RAM: 32gb Trident Z 3200mhz
GPU: Zotac 2070 SUPER Mini
Storage: 2tb Intel 660p M.2, 1tb Intel 660p M.2
PSU: HDPlex 400w Combo
Case: NFC Skyreach 4 Mini
GPU fans: Noctua Chromax NF-A9 x 2
I have been in love with this chassis ever since I first saw it on Linus's channel. I finally went all in on it, building the system I've always wanted. It's not perfect, still needs some work, but this has been a fun experience.
Basically all I did to make everything fit was remove the heatsink on the HDplex 400w DC-ATX. I'm not 100% sure if that was the most intelligent move but I'm looking into alternatives including modding the heatsink to fit around components. Temperature-wise it's honestly not much different from when I had everything in my Dr. Zaber Sentry. I imagine the Skyslots are to thank for that, as well as the higher-quality fans from Noctua.
The HDplex has a noticeable coil whine as well as a crackling sound which ramps up and down based on load. I'm concerned about that but I can live with it as long as it's safe. I'm hoping it disappears but given the sensitivity of such a product I'm pleased.
As to not clutter up this post, all specific details can be found in this post - Any questions, comments and/or advice I'm totally open to!
