Anyone interested in building your own systems, and frustrated by the huge size of many cases, but want a bit more flexibility than an ITX board.... check THIS out:

Yeah A friend of mine asked me to fix it for him and than got into a fatal car accident. I haven't wanted to work on it since then. I might fix it up one of these days.

I need a large case for extra hard drives (got 4) and multiple video cards, if I need them. The extra bays also allow for extras like a card reader like I have:

I have one of those but it's built into the case. It's not exactly like that but similar.

Well, the guy is still finalising some issues with the case design, but meanwhile I have specced up a system for it.

GPU: PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Dragon 8GB
PSU: Corsair SF600 Platinum 600W SFX
Mobo: B450M MORTAR MAX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
RAM: 32Gb (2x16GB) Ballistix Sport LT 3200 MHz
SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD
Case fan: Noctua A12x25-PWM 120mm Fan
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9X65 or similar.


I've also just bought this monitor which will hopefully be delivered tomorrow.

WQHD 3440 × 1440 resolution
Curved, ultrawide screen
100Hz refresh rate
FreeSync
7.8ms refresh rate
VA Panel

Good enough for mixed office / gaming use.

Only got all the bits recently have installed windows etc.

Still haven't got the case so it's just built on a piece of cardboard.... Bit ghetto.

The cables with the psu are really rubbish flat cables. I'll need to get some decent ones made to keep the cabling tidy.

Lol, I remember those days. I used to build outside the case first and than put it in the case. Much easier to troubleshoot that way.
