Saw the 100 Plus bottle and made the guess, either that or Malaysia, not many other SEA countries sell 100 Plus. Hope mine works just fine in the coming weeks! Saving your comment in case I need emergency soldering help!

Looking to pull the trigger on the "Power + Wolf Figure T39 chassis + graphics card ":
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.0.0.1470e4a6Q7LzpD&id=577536920720
I'm assuming that this is the T39 case the 500W power supply and pcie card. Does anyone know if we can specific the case color through superbuy as I'm looking to get the black k39.

Doesn't look like you can choose the color from the selection on that page, you will need to include case color as a remark / note to the seller when buying.
Did anyone buy this case? It is bigger than a K49, but offers native support to more than one 2.5" drives, and that would interest me.

Or should I stick with K49 for two 2.5" and just tape the SSD with velcro? There seems to be some space above the GPU (seen in the video: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av35512038/?redirectFrom=h5 )

I just checked out the case that you linked. It’s always fun to see new approaches to ITX cases and this one is quite unique in the sense that despite its size, it still supports multiple 2.5” drives. However, I’m not a fan of the design and overall look of this case. The vents on the GPU side look far from attractive and even though I’m not a 100% sure, I think it’s only available in one color. I prefer the design of the K49, with a closed front panel and open side and top panels. Thanks for linking this case though, I hope more people browse through Taobao for new ITX cases.
As for your question about fitting another drive in the K49: I’ve once seen someone using double-sided tape to attach their 2.5” drive to the inside of the front panel. It’s probably not easy to fit in, because I’m pretty sure most of the cables are hidden there, but you could give it a try. What I also had in mind, is that you could ask someone with a 3D-printer to print a bracket for your drive with holes in the right place to attach it to the top panel, where you would normally place two fans. Just an idea.
Hi! I’ve been lurking this thread ever since I became interested in building an SFF PC. I’d like to build one with a volume less than 8 liters. I finally made an account to share any cases that I find and discuss about them and the rest that are linked in this thread.
Despite the fact that it is slightly larger than I’d like, I stumbled upon a 8,54L Dan A4 clone on Taobao that I couldn’t ignore, called the LZ-A4. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been linked in this thread before, but correct me if I’m wrong. It’s made by a company called LZ Mod. They offer this case with different vent designs, such as regular circles and hexagons, but you can choose a ‘custom side hole’ option, which suggests that you can come up with your own preffered shape. There are not a lot of pictures provided on the sales page itself, but there are multiple reviews with pictures, of which one showed a purple version. I assume that this means that LZ Mod gives you the option to choose a color you’d like, rather than letting you pick between 2 or 3 standard colors. It also seems to be delivered with a handle, to carry it around. However, it is not clear to me whether accessories, such as a PSU and GPU extension cable are included in the price. Unfortunately I can’t read Mandarin/Chinese, so I’d have to ask it via a Superbuy employee. Maybe someone of the SFF community could translate it?

Also, I have a question for people who have experience with flex ATX power supplies. I’ve seen a couple of these PSU’s on Taobao, of which some where linked in this thread. However, most of them only have a single 4-pin EPS connector, which means that overclocking your CPU with it is pretty much impossible. I’ve seen that GEEEK sells a 400W Delta flex ATX power supply, with an 8-pin EPS connector and apparently they’ve also switched out the original fan with a low noise one. But when I check out the reviews, I read things like “it’s definitely a bit noisy” and “it didn’t look like airflow (inside the PSU) was even possible”. Has anyone bought this specific PSU from them? I’d really like to know. I don’t know if it’s worth the extra money to spend instead of one off of Taobao. If anyone can recommend me some good quality flex ATX power supplies, then I would very much appreciate that.

Does anyone else know of other cases similar to the ZS-A4S. I'm thinking of a swap to fit bigger video cards from my K49.
Oh and @Zagash I replied to your message on Reddit

From the original Taobao link, I note:-
a. you can request both the external colour as well as the front panel design (default is solid). But a fee might be charged for this service.
b. PSU is not included in the price
c. GPU riser cable is also not included. They recommend the one shown in the product page. You can order it directly yourself through that link listed. Or, you can order it from LZMod. If so, they will install it into the case before shipping. It is in the lower left bottom of the page.
The only case that I’ve found that supports both full size GPU’s and flex ATX power supplies - besides the ZS-A4S of course - is the GEEEK A35, which is only being sold on Taobao and not on the GEEEK website. It’s slightly larger than the A4S, with it being 6,8 liters, whereas the A4S is only 5,5 liters. I do consider it an option for me though, but my GPU is 5mm too long...

a. Alright, thanks for this information. Good to know if I ever decide to order one :-)
b. No I actually didn’t mean a power supply unit, but a PSU extension cable. The one that you need to route from the front to the back of the case. I see that they sell them seperately, but my question is do they include them with the LZ-A4?
c. You mean the link in the description of the product page?

manage to setup K49 + 400w psu...
my config as follows:
intel i5 8400
16gb corsair 3000mhz
asrock h310m itx/ac
zotac gtx 1060 3gb
samsung evo 960 250gb nvme pcie
2 x 2tb 2.5inch seagate hdd
2 x 8015 coolermaster fan on top for exhaust
unfortunately the cpu cooler i have on hand is id cooling is40x which 5mm more than clearance,so i somehow ghetto rigged 120mm fan outside the case for temporary while waiting for noctua nh-l9i to arrive...but overall pretty satisfied with the temp.
idle for cpu/gpu is 38c/40c and load is 65c/70c

How did you end up fitting the second 2.5" drive?
its exactly like the video shows...i place the 2.5 hdd on top of gpu,parallel to it...but since i have 8015 fan exhaust installed,i can only fit 7mm 2.5inch hdd.,dont need any screws to tighten the hdd coz its really snug fit...overall pretty satisfied with case,its considered cheap so dont expect high quality finishing.
my setup for the moment considered complete,but maybe if got extra fund probably adding another 16gb stick ram n 1tb nvme ssd,thats it.

Nice links @Sashby. I just found this low profile 90 degree 24pin adapter, quite clean looking: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=564693870633
Sharing my ZS-A4M build, tough but rewarding experience. Made the mistake of trying to brute force a lot of the build when things did not line up correctly. My MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX rubs against the side panel, going to adjust the PCI-e riser and put some spacers between the screws and the case. Like another poster mentioned, these China cases are so small that the components are keeping the case rigid and the case is keeping the components rigid. It definitely got more stable as the build went on.
Here's a really cheap mITX motherboard that uses DDR3 and supports 6th to 8th gen Intel chips. Onda H310SD3-ITX

Onda, which Linus said he has never heard off (surprisingly or not?), is not a shady shop but has been around as long as Asus, MSI and Gigabyte. It carries a whole line of products including motherboards, display cards, tablets...etc. It just did not go global like the big guys but mainly serves the local market.
I spot the Streacom BC1 Open Benchtable in the background. Nice!
(BTW, I still cannot get used to his voice.)

Anyone have experience building in a M61 (https://world.taobao.com/item/564673789299.htm) or M66 (https://world.taobao.com/item/579903903454.htm?spm=a21wu.12321156-tw.0.0.5f3d5e31BUzHFk) before? I like my ZS-A4M but the size can make cable management a pain. Was thinking something slightly bigger would be easier to work on. My concern with the design is that there is very little clearance between the PSU and the CPU fan.
Or should I just go for something larger like the Silverstone SG13 which offer more options for GPUs, fans and CPU coolers in the future?

The m61 looks like a more industrial and compact jonsbo C2, I highly recomend the cube form factor when laid out like that
