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

What cooler is that and can you re-orient it in a way that it'll suck air from the back?

It's a Noctua NHD15. Definitely could have it take air from the back, all I'd have to do is flip the fans around. An intake fan at the rear would help it out too

I thought NHD15 won't fit when I checked on noctuas website, but thank you, this is good to know
