Good mini ITX case

[Desaturated]

I got the Nouvolo steck last year. A much cheaper version of Ghost

The best part, it c/w additional 2* glass panels at a cheaper price than Ghost

ya one of the bro here recommend this. How is the build quality?

This is my ghost S1. You can shove in a 60mm thick radiator and push pull fans with 2 L hats.

Mine is V1, not bad. Currently they are selling V1.1, improvements in some areas. u can go to their website for details.

My first SFF & no regrets, loving it vs my old Phanteks Evolv ATX.

Added the Stacker to mount fan to exhaust air out from the top recently. Can mount a 240mm AIO. I may change to AIO

There is a thicker 80mm one from Alphacool (the Monstaa). This is a EK XE240, not an uncommon one. typically those european rads tend to be thicker.

There are applications for it though they never intended for them to be used in compact cases as you see above.

Nouvolo looks good

Can consider Node 202. No fancy RGB. Just straight out a black case with no glass viewing panel.
Thermals quite good with stock Intel cooler. Idle at 35c. Load at 85c. Need to do a simple hack to direct fresh air for the CPU cooler to further reduce load temps.

Im also planning to use this case.
Hows your aorus mobo? I read some comments that it can be problematic.

Hope to hear some feedback since im also considering aorus or msi for basic use (no overclock)

Been using since last April when moved to SFF, no issue so far.
I nvr OC.

When I upgrade my pc next year, i probably buy the V1.1 and pass this to my kids.

The only problem with this case is if i use the glass panels, temp will go up, especially the GPU side (as expected). My Cryorig C7 is not a gd cooler, so I also use vented panels on both sides.

Maybe when i change to AIO, then i will use the glass panel on the CPU side, and source for some shops that helps to cut holes for the GPU side (got lobang?). Unless can find some standoffs so that the glass panel give a bigger gap to allow more airflow

overpriced, over hyped

 

[flame2000]

wow the F12 looks great!

Yeah....as reflected in the price!

 

[Kegler]

Slim case in general.... actually got cheaper option for sentry case..... about same size and it’s aluminium

overpriced, over hyped

Printed some standoffs to increase the gaps between the glass panels & the case.

You using those silver plated wires? I just got some custom made. Just realized they are quite stiff and not so flexible. I should have gone for the silicone ones.

Yeah super stiff but thin. I also paid someone to customised.
