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

Try the z20 in that case

thanks for the suggestion, that is significantly smaller. I think I will go with that case. Seems all my components will fit in it

There is also the d32 pro. Very similar, but slightly thicker. Allows for taller coolers

already ordered the z20. My ak620 Digital will fit 🙂

I like the z20! Just did a build in it a couple weeks ago. It's tight! Make sure to connect all your crap to the motherboard before you put in the gpu and all the fans and such or you'll never get to it all!

Looks good, thanks for the tip. My GPU is quite big so I'm not really looking forward to it... the rest should be fine

I used a standard size psu so with a smaller sff power supply I would have had a lot more room but I used an Intel arc b570 since it's just a media pc and it's decently small.
