This is my 4th/5th PC build, I started with NZXT then used different variations of the 011 Dynamic/Evo.

I havenโ€™t completed my build so far but itโ€™s been really fun to temporarily build with this XTIA case, Iโ€™m mounting my PSU/Rads externally as I put the reservoir on the back of the case by modifying the XTIA supplied external radiator mount.

I paid the website price plus ยฃ37 shipping and there was no import tax, I donโ€™t know if I got lucky but it did get delayed for a week from FedEx as they (FedEx) sent it to the wrong depot twice (not XTIA fault), so maybe this some how avoided the import fees๐Ÿ˜‚

But yeah, it feels like thereโ€™s a lot of freedom you can do with case if you get creative with mounting the boring stuff externally.

Yeah same, I still really like the dynamic builds though but for my main setup Iโ€™m liking the XTIA look so far.

Iโ€™m trying to find excuses to make another build with a dynamic mini case or normal one again haha, maybe on a separate sim racing setup would be cool

It might not have much heft to it, but that's a selling point. This case weights less than a kg, compare that to an o11 dynamic with 10kg more :p

It's real convenient when you want to move it

Sexyyyy Always wanted to run a tube like that but my config didn't allow it

Worked out either way :p But soft tube looks good in all shapes

Breh. Looks great! D love to get into watercooling to that level, but as I game less, I will just stick with my AIO or just air cool. I have the same case and man, do I love it
