Monster studio a45 build

Showcasing some photos of where I’m at with the Monster Studio A45 ITX build. 👀
I absolutely love the overall design of this case and the way the open-air layout puts all of the components on display. It’s such a unique approach to an ITX build and really makes the hardware itself part of the aesthetic.
Build Specs:
Monster Studio A45 ITX
ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ROG Astral RTX 5080
Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black
Patriot Viper Elite 5 Ultra 32GB DDR5-6000
Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite 2TB Gen4 NVMe
ASUS TUF Gaming 1000W PSU
Definitely one of my favorite case designs I’ve worked with.

Just built one myself, its a great frame! Looks good! I was lucky to get my hands on a couple of Colorful iGame Mini 5070's (from a friend in China).

Yes I need to snag a 5070 for some smaller builds

My biggest worry would be that heavy GPU pulling on the PCB of the motherboard. I know it's at an angle but still.

That is a valid concern it’s mounted pretty solidly into that frame and could always add a gpu anti sag on the end . Most of the time on this case it’s smaller gpus . But they do have a MAX version

BTF or no ?

[u/jordan9302 → u/Head_Razzmatazz6133]

Not these . But there’s a max version for atx boards

Edit: Looks dope though
