Other What's on Taobao

[Nero]

Is there any info/actual pictures of the Acat X2 anywhere?

This case is the most interesting to me since the FormdT1 yet there's no info on it.

I've been hunting for a case that can handle both a 3090FE and a 280mm AIO under 15L for a while, was going to get the Akkla A4V2 but build quality seems really subpar, panels are not looking to align well and don't seem to fit securely. The X2 would be perfect, it looks like an evolution of the M1 (slightly bigger but that space is used extremely well).

Haven't seen people talking about this Acat X2 case:

淘宝网 - 淘！我喜欢

淘宝网(Taobao.com)作为专业的购物网站拥有全球时尚前沿的消费者购物集市,100%认证网上商城及超值二手商品区，同时购物安全，产品丰富，应有尽有,任你选购,让你尽享网上在线购物乐趣！

item.taobao.com

It's currently accepting pre-order, and based on my conversation with the business owner, the case will be shipped in 20 days.
It seems to be a Ncase m1 configuration + Ghost s1 appearance. I also heard that the quality will be similar to Formula X1 (meaning better than Acat X1).

Man - really nice find, thanks for that! Huge fan of the combination of M1 layout and Ghost looks. And, mATX compatibility too... But what's the volume on that? Must be around 15L, at least...?

Can someone recommend a FlexATX PSU from Taobao for a RX 6800xt? modular would preffered naturally Thanks!

Could try this: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.66ba2e8dGwtVjm&id=629191729864&_u=j3nada6k46e3

its relatively new but most Chinese builders are flocking to this rn.

Was worried about its stability, but as the days go by, the reviews are really positive.

From what I can tell its a modified Enhance design, so it might be good, but it still isn't certified for use on NA/EU power grids.

So its at your own risk, I'd personally go with the least sketchy option(the stock PSU.

Nice design but I'm not sure about these 2x80mm fans in the back and the power cord connection

No real pictures so far. I preordered. Even though the owner said it to be shipped in 1 month (the conversation happened 2 weeks ago, so should be in 2 weeks if counting from today), I wouldn't be surprised if it the shipment doesn't happen in several months according to my past experience.

Just be aware that this business owner was red flagged by some customers due to its poor customer service and sms spamming the customer who gave negative rating. Not sure if anything was improved since then.

and a few other posts, but this one seems to be the worst as sms spamming is unacceptable. I'd keep the conversation on this merchant short to avoid deviating from the topic of this entire thread.

I read the entire 3-page thread. This Echo guy said one thing and the seller Cat said another thing. I see no proof or evidence of any kind, pointing either way.
Anyway, no big deal here. There are always hard-to-please customers just as there are always unfriendly sellers.
Perhaps one good way to judge is to see how long the seller is in business. Bad business often go away soon while good business often last longer.

Other than the Cat customer service, I think everyone is more interested in the performance and noise aspect.

Had some videos posted on this 700W flex psu, if anyone is keen.

While I scanned through the buyer's feedback in the TB product page, I note that many buyers are happy with and thus recommend the Noctua fan upgrade option.

Guys thanks for your feedback!. I am afraid i have another question ^^. I couldn´t find a PCIE 4.0 riser on taobao so i thought of using a extender card like the one linked below. I ask myself however wether thos cards always are PCIE 4.0 as long as I put them into a PCIE 4.0 slot or if there are differences just as there are differenct riser cables? https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?sp...4.95220.42296_0_0","x_object_id":35513660739}

Given the lack of mention of PCIe 4.0 support and no visible redrivers or anything like that, I would assume it lacks it. It might work, but that depends on signal integrity and so on. PCIe 4.0 is much more sensitive to having several connectors in between the host and device, as well as needing redrivers for even relatively short trace lengths. If this has really good connectors, a well designed PCB, and your motherobard has great signal integrity, then it might work. Or it might still not. I wouldn't bet on it.

You guys know of any Taobao case under 15L that can for a fact fit a 3090 FE?

I've checked the Master list but many cases are in that blurry zone where it would in theory be a tight fit and many times it seems that power connectors would not allow the closing of the side panel (hard to tell how the sellers measure the GPU clearance, with or without the cabling?).

It's Taobao so can't ask the sellers directly and just ordering to see would be quite expensive. Would really appreciate any insight.

What are the dimensions of 3090 FE?
Be specific about how the dimensions are measured.

Isn't the Acat X2 having a 3090 FE in the technical drawing? Would also be sub 15l (~14.7l).
I ordered that case today - from what I've read here, it should be ready to ship now.

312mm length, 138mm width, 55mm thick (but requires 3 full slots because of bracket).

I've also ordered it it looks like the absolute perfect case with its 280mm AIO compatibility in such a small chassis but several people said here, on reddit and on the SFF discord that Acat's shipping delays are very often much longer than promised :/. As in months longer.

The ZZAW B3 should do the job, its very similar in both dimensions and layout to the Acat X2 you have on order.

Alternatively, if you're in the US, the Sliger Conswole is a great option and should get to you a lot quicker.
