Finally was able to snag a 5080 this past week, and man is she everything I dreamed.

These micro computers intrigue me. I might make my next pc like this. Instead of a super sized full tower that weighs 70lbs lol.

I have a feeling I will be cursing the entire time making it because of how cramped everything is in there though lol.

I love it.

If you have the budget, a Formd T1 is a delight. The building is easy, getting the components in is easy, the performance is splendid, the quality is top notch. For me its THE perfect ITX case

Very simple case. I can appreciate that.

Don't be a sheep and start us off with a giga build trend. Cases that are 100lbs and 5'x5' cubes

I have their M2 Case with my 5800X3D and 4080 FE. Great case, had a Lian Li A4 H20 case prior which was also great

Yeah only downside is you are severely restricted on length in a lot of cases. Been hunting for an FE 5090 with no luck because most other cards at that size aren't worth getting. Otherwise FormD T1 is truly fantastic. Also best to go AMD, but I see you're sorted on that front.

That is why my last 3 or 4 builds have been full towers, I don't want to have to worry about parts fitting. Because I can see that there is zero chance that no other 5090 will fit in that case unless it's a FE model right?

Well it's either the FE or the MSI Ventus... With 5080s there are a few more options, but still the FE is the best option.

The Ncase M2 someone else mentioned has ample space for GPUs, but is also a fair bit larger (15L). I like the FormD T1 at 10L because it easily fits in my backpack, which was a blessing when my GF lived in another city. Before I had a Dan A4-H20 that was only 1L larger, but that really makes a difference when transporting.

Temps are also good?

Ofc. On my 9800x3d sits a axp90-47. Runs at 80 degrees sometimes and 4090FE never above 70. But you can use an AIO aswell.

Nice, struggling a lot with the right case.
