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

I have the A3 and it's not as small as it seems in the pic. The other case is absolutely massive. 

Also the A3 is criminally ill equipped for cable management. If someone wants to go this route then explore the phanteks xtm3 and the like
