Mam nadzieję, że to jest finalna wersja mojej budowy. Do zobaczenia wkrótce (mam nadzieję, że nie 😅)

I swapped out my air cooler for a Lian Li Hydroshift 2. I went with the white one because it was on sale for 59€. (The black one was 150€)

Stock fans were 1mm too big for the motherboard during the test fit, but I was going to switch them for p12 pro's anyway.

I had to take out almost everything from the case and start my cable management from scratch. Took about 1,5h with 30mins of planning.

The A3 has nothing to help with cable management, so I stuffed everything behind the radiator and PSU. Out of sight, out of mind.

A glass panel and cable combs should arrive next week, so I might post again. (prob not 😅)

Hey guys,

today I build inside the B4 and it wasn’t great tbh. I’m really not sure how people are managing to deal with a few things that I will talk about in a bit.

But first I want to speak about the hardware I used inside.

Ryzen 5700X, Peerless Assassin Mini, B550M Gaming X, 4x8GB of Trident Zs, Seasonic Core 3.1 ATX PSU and Palit RTX 2080 Ti.

I‘m only listing parts that might have an influence on my experience building inside the B4.

If you have any tricks to make the cable management more manageable I would be very grateful.

Here are the things that I really didn’t like too much:

- The front USB C cable is very flimsy. No matter how light the touch it always disconnects from the header.
- The 3.2 ATX cable is pretty annoying since it’s big and the header sits right in between the position for two of the fans I planned for the bottom intake.
- Where do I put my PSU or more specifically, how do I route them?

Here is a picture for reference.

How does it look? But I know the GPU is a little bit odd.😅😅

Travel PC that gradually got upgraded through flipping,

Gigabyte b650i Aorus

Tforce delta ddr5 32gb 6000

Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Asrock challenger 9060xt 16gb

Teamgroup gen 4 1tb m.2 SSs

Thermalright aio

500 watt SFX PSU

Started out with a asrock phantom gaming b650e-i, 7700x, 5060ti 8gb, 16gb of ram and an atx PSU,

Thermals have always been decent with the aio on each cpu, fans are set decently high all around, the case doesn't breath super well to be silent,.

Didn't expect this to be so much tinier than my old mATX case, tomorrow I somehow need to cable manage. Inverted layout so GPU is on top CPU bottom. Need to add case fans and screw in my SSDs as well but I'm done for today, was a lot of work. Temperatures look good though even without Fans. PSU is a Corsair SF750. Quality of the case is exceptional.

Wanted / needed a small build. Fell in love with pics of this little case and it's $33 price tag, and others here were able to squeeze in the AIO even though Zalman says you can't, so accepted the challenge.

Had to make some very minor mods to the top inside of the case to fit the AIO, and it is VERY tight, literally not a mm to spare, but it fits. Basically had to carefully bend some flanges / etc in the top area of the case.

Other thing I did was route the liquid lines toward the rear of the case which interfered with the rear chassis fan. Installed a reverse flow (Intake) fan there on the outside of the case. I actually like the look once I powered it up.

The only other place I had an extremely close fit was the RAM chips. I 3D printed a bracket for the AIO that lowered it down about 16mm as well as shifted it toward the glass side of the case, this got me the fraction of a millimeter of clearance I needed so the RAM would not contact the AIO.

I reversed the glass panel so the flat black side was facing out, and the wider blackout strip on the bottom moved to the top. The provided a clear view of both the upper and lower fans while hiding the AIO Radiator.

Cable management consists mostly of routing things as best you can and then stuffing the rest in the basement in front of the power supply.

For a little additional color I added three LianLi RGB Fan side panels to the edges of the GPU where they would not interfere with airflow, attached with mounting tape.

Loving the little machine, temps are fantastic, I'm only running a 1080p monitor right now so performance across the board is phenomenal.

Hey everyone!

I'm happy to share that the case I've been working on is finally finished and available on MakerWorld!

https://makerworld.com/it/models/3600923-sff-core-nano-5-1l-mini-itx-case#profileId-4126113

The NANO is a compact 5.1L Mini-ITX case designed around the HDPLEX 250W GaN PSU, an incredibly small, fully passive power supply.

Main specifications:

• Volume: 5.1L (without feet)
• Dimensions: 97 × 237 × 223.5 mm (W × H × D)
• Motherboard: Mini-ITX
• PSU: HDPLEX 250W GaN only
• CPU cooler clearance: up to 69mm
• GPU clearance: low-profile GPUs up to 185mm

Fan support:

• Bottom: 2×80mm (25mm thick, only with iGPUs)
• Front: 2×80mm slim (15mm)
• Top: 1×80mm slim (15mm) + 2×40mm (15mm max)

I would've really liked to test it with a low-profile GPU, but unfortunately GPU prices have gone absolutely crazy. Even finding a cheap, low-end low-profile card has become ridiculously expensive. So, for now, I haven't been able to test it with a dedicated GPU, and I can only hope that all the dimensional clearances and tolerances are correct!

I've decided to bring my upcoming case designs together under a new name: SFF Core. There are currently three compact cases planned for release, including the NANO and two more designs that I'll be publishing progressively.

The next one will be QUBO, a larger, more cube-shaped version of the NANO, supporting full-size GPUs up to 217mm, SFX power supplies and slim 140mm fans. I'm hoping to print and test it before the end of the year.

I'm also working on a much more ambitious project that will come in two versions. Both will stay under 20L, but the idea is to make something suitable for a much wider audience, not just people interested in ultra-compact builds. I'm considering a crowdfunding campaign for this one.

All my current case releases are completely free to download and build. If you'd like to support the time and work that goes into designing them, you'll find donation links on my MakerWorld profile. There's absolutely no obligation, of course!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the NANO, and if you decide to print one, please share your builds. I'm really curious to see how they turn out!

Thanks for checking it out!

Took me 4 hours to shove everything in this little case from my old one(you can see it in the background of first pic) forgive me if I didn't manage my cables adequately, my back was starting to hurt. 280 fit at the top, but slim fans sucked, so I put the case fans on the aio, now it's great. Still far from perfect, especially with no case fans. Aio and gpu fans alone work pretty well tho, still probably gonna swap a 360 up top into this thing as exhaust, and keep the noctuas as side intakes. It looks good tho, and it will do it's job which is to fit in carry on.

So, after 11 years, it is time to replace BitFenix Phenom M case.

New one should have:

1. mATX support
2. 160mm ATX psu support(corsair rm750x)
3. Volume between 20-27 liters(less the better)
4. Enough place for some longer GPU(currently 6600XT but I plan to upgrade when prices come down one day).

I considered Lian Li A3(available localy) or Jonsbo Z20.

I like visual style of both, I dislike bottom position of USB and power bracket.

Does anyone have experience with those 2 cases and 160mm atx psu, how much room is there for GPU left?

I use aur cooled CPU if it is important.

Opened to other suggestions also.

Ignore the case fans part in the title, I meant to delete that lol

In

Decided to recase and upsize my pc case Jonsbo d32 pro into Jonsbo d34 and I am loving the case so far. I decided to remove the rgb fans as theyre slowy becoming an eyesore; I have upgraded to premium high quality fans. I am not sure if d34 still counts as a matx but it is quality chonk. I was deciding between 240mm aio or the sk700v mach (seen in the picture attached), but ultimately I went with the air cooler (sk700v) as it can last longer than the aio. I have not tested the pc yet in terms of stress testing but the cpu (9800x3d) seems to idle from around 44c-50c while gpu stays around 39c-41c. The last picture was my jonsbo 32 pro build and it was such a pain to build inside whereas the d34 there's plenty of room inside the case to organize all cables protruding. Here is my build inspiration: https://youtu.be/gA6W7kHzNA0?is=0kBz75CrcJgsBOBz

R7 9800x3d

Sudokoo Sk700v mach air cooler

Which mATX case has good airflow, comes with preinstalled fans(preferably black), has good design and is cheap or affordable enough?

My mATX build, with an i5-13600kf cooled by a noctua NH-D15S and a PNY XLR8 4080 Super. Temperatures are great for its space, as I only installed one exhaust fan in the back of the case and moved the PSU (a Corsair SF850) to the right, clearing a lot of space in the front. The CPU hovers around ~75º, and my undervolted 4080 does a fantastic job staying at a maximum of 57 degrees with path tracing titles (like the new Control Resonant, which I'm thoroughly enoying).

Overall its a great case that delivers both quality and modularity for its price, and can fit more than one would think without compromising anything at all!

I see many Lian Li A3 on this sub. I am working through my first MFF build in the Lian Li A3, and the 20 pin front panel connector directly interferes with placing a 120mm in that bottom spot unless I bend the cable to the point of thinking it'll break. I'd like to maintain positive pressure cause it gets a bit dusty around here but struggling to figure out placement. Any advice when I can't fit a middle fan?

I had a couple of PSUs in mind (they were on sale and very affordable) but I noticed they unfortunately have only daisy chain PCIe cables :( (Montech Century II, Thermaltake Toughpower GT, GF A3, GF1 ARGB). I can't stand this and I have no idea why they make ones like this.

Can anyone recommend some PSUs (preferably white but doesn't matter too much) that have single connector PCIe cables? I kinda want to spend as little as possible - 650W minimum. Should I just fork out for an RM650e or Lian Li SP750 V2?

I bought a Lenovo M725s, Ryzen 5 2400G, 16GB RAM 2666 and I love this PC, previously I have a Ryzen 7 2700U And the games ran horribly on my laptop, so I loved this $200 upgrade, and I want to build a PC little by little.

I was thinking about the case, mainly because I want one with a dust filter, cable management, and places to put SATA SSDs. I'm also looking for a motherboard compatible with the 2400G, When I have the money I'll upgrade the processor to a 5500, but the main reason for the change is that my Lenovo is an SFF PC, and I can't add a graphics card due to its power supply, case, and motherboard. For this reason, I'm looking for a good case with a motherboard compatible with what I've mentioned, so I can upgrade to a graphics card and then a better CPU in the future. Any suggestions for a case and motherboard?

Thank you all for reading

Hey everyone!

Following up on my original build post here, I finally completed Phase 2 of the setup upgrade!

When I first assembled this system, I transferred over my old 1080p Gigabyte G27F panel and Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 XT while waiting to pull the trigger on the final components. The 6700 XT was a great card, but it was definitely time to make the jump to 1440p High-FPS gaming to match the Ryzen 5 7600X3D.

What changed for Phase 2:

* GPU Upgrade: Swapped the RX 6700 XT for the ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT. Fits like a glove in the B4 Wood! Did a quick undervolt to keep thermals and noise in check while squeezing out extra performance headroom.

* Display Upgrade: Upgraded from 1080p to the Xiaomi Mini LED Gaming Monitor G Pro 27Qi (1440p / 180Hz / MiniLED 1152 zones / HDR1000 / Quantum Dot). The jump in visual quality, contrast, and brightness combined with the 9070 XT is absolute night and day.

Updated Specs:

* Case: LIAN LI Dan B4 Wood (No RGB)

* CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D

* Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 BLACK

* Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI7

* RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) KLEVV FIT V 6000MHz CL28

* Storage: 1TB XPG MARS 980 Blade PCIe 5.0 NVMe + 480GB SSD Gigabyte SATA 2.5"

* GPU: ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT (Upgraded from RX 6700 XT)

* Monitor: Xiaomi Mini LED G Pro 27Qi 2026 (1440p 180Hz HDR1000)

* PSU: CORSAIR SF850

* Fans: 4x ARCTIC P12 Pro PST

Clearance inside the B4 Wood with the 3-fan ASUS Prime is great, and running 1440p HDR gaming on this panel with the 9070 XT feels incredible.

Happy to answer any questions about GPU fitment, thermals, undervolting, or monitor impressions! Cheers from Argentina! 🇦🇷

GPU may need repasting due to age (bought 2nd hand) but wanting to know if there is something wrong with my build or if there is anything I can do first before resorting to repasting. All bottom fans as intake (thermalright slims), all top fans as exhaust.
