that case is awesome

Yea I'm a big fan of small cases, I mean there are smaller but when you go really small there are even more compromises.

Made a decision on the mouse, decided on wired, gone with the Glorious Model D.
 
Build is complete pretty much. Just waiting for a dust filter for the bottom and will replace the front fan with a Noctua A12x25 when they release the chromax version.

No RGB here, just pure black stealth. Runs whisper quiet with the custom fan curve. When playing games fans aren't tuned for noise, instead performance.

Nice! How much time do you think the full project took you?

God damn, man! Wanna build me one?!
 
To build it was a couple evenings, about 3-4 hours. Much more in planning and research! :D



Thanks, I'm happy with how it turned out.



Ha! This was a tricky build, would have been a piece of cake building in mid tower.

Are those custom cables or the ones that came with your PSU?

Dude seriously that looks clean AF. In fact it looks more uniform than my MacBook Pro :p

The PSU (Corsair SF750) does come with braided cables, but I bought some extension cables from Phanteks. They are required in this case, because even though it's small form factor, it's on the large side and the PSU cables are designed for much smaller cases.

Thanks! It has to look clean to fit my setup aesthetic :)

I love it, choosing the exact components after watching/reading so many comparisons and reviews. Carefully planning the build for weeks then it finally coming together. A fresh install of Windows and then all your apps, tweaks and tuning.

Yep. I recently built a new PC myself. I went big though.

Not sure I'm keeping the water cooling AIO. Hate the extra cables and tubes. Plus, air cooling is just as good these days.

I'd go bigger if my office wasn't so small. I've had a few AIO in the past and I couldn't live with the pump noise, it was the most audible thing in the system when fans are running low RPM.

Nice and clean build! Congrats, and I hope that your PC serves you well :)

Thanks, me too.

This one is very quiet, but that can be a concern as well. How will I know if it stops working? I don't want to have to have a CPU temp monitor running all the time because I'm paranoid. lol. I'll more than likely take this back and get a Noctua.

Everything sounds quiet until it's within arms reach of your seat position :p
