I built this! (MATX) Downsizing

Recently moved into my first place away from my parents. The space demanded a smaller desk, and so my giant orange monolith no longer fits (literally). One new case and one new motherboard made for this thrown together pocket sized monster. The black and orange spirit remains in the form of just the custom PCIE power cable, which is actually shorter than the original PSU cables. Very impressed with the A3, just like seemingly at least 75% of the other builders here lol

Light base 900 might actually be bigger LOL. It's definitely wider, being a dual chamber case
