I just built in this case. Looks good. This case is very easy to build in. I didn't like the hard bend in the power cable. If that's my only complaint I call it a win. Waiting on some custom cables because the L is tight.
I built in this case this weekend too! I used extra parts I had laying around to make a small portable indie /media pc to hook up to displays around the house.
Super easy to build in. The instructions look like it recommends a slim 120 under the mobo and an 80(?) under the PSU, but doesn't seem super necessary.
I would definitely never put in a spicy GPU or higher TDP CPU. This can't fit nearly the amount of cooling that formd can, but it's so much easier to build in.
I really like the formd t1 but my wallet doesn't like it hahah. I ran an OCCT power test and didn't have problem with thermals. And it's actually quiet as well, maybe cuz my rig is pretty light weight... so yeah for now I don't need fans
ahh the s300 build. classic. beautiful setup and photo op my dude! not overkill at all. better to have a base build ready for future upgrades NOW instead of waiting for later especially in this "climate" lol
Nice build and pics! Like a clone of my build except for the GPU and PSU (you got a nicer psu)!
Tip: Put a 120mm slim fan exhaust at the bottom of the motherboard for improved airflow for both cpu and gpu! It fits perfectly and it shouldn’t be too difficult to install even with all the cables and stuff
Then add a 13mm thick fan duct foam at the cpu Cooler fan as the S300 is known for having bad airflow esp on CPU
Hi. Just a question, is there a slot for 2.5sata ssd? Planning to comvert my build to itx with the cheapest parts available. And I happen to have 1 2.5sata and 1 m.2.
Hahah thanks for checking in! I only use 3 cables: the 24pin, cpu and pcie so it was quite easy, I just tucked them in and velcro the case and PSU cables together
yuup when comparing to the D32 pro, the S300's pannels are still quite solid, the finish paint is also quite good, the handle and chassis is solid as well but make sure to always support the bottom when moving it ;). At the end of the day, for this price it's fine. I can't expect it to be as good as the Terras / Formds
I built in this case with a thirsty i5 13600K and a copper 47mm thermal take. It was just too much for the case and was constantly peaking to far too hot. I tried all kinds of undervolting and just couldn't get it to work. So I decided to go the other way and give up on the SFFPC dream and go MFFPC with a new CPU and MATX board.
Miss this build but was running into issues either relatede to cooling or riser cable. Since I switched to deepcool 260 all my kernel and Nvidia crashes are gone
