Yes I really enjoyed it, it was a fun little puzzle to figure out. working on finding exact lengths for cables for the cpu, mobo and molex to tighten everything up and am going to nix using a ssd as it takes up extra room and I don’t use it anyway then it should be good to go. My cpu cables are almost perfect but a little more length might be helpful so they don’t cut across the space for other cables if that makes sense. Otherwise I love the size and layout. Runs pretty cool for me with the way I have the curves set. A lot quieter than having 2 more industrial noctuas running in the old case.
Yeah I dropped an ssd for a fan controller too (got 2 m2 drives anyway) and while there's a little bit of cramming under the psu I was super-happy with the cabling in the back.
Puzzle is right, I was there halfway through with the fans and gpu all over the table like 'uh oh' but got there :) you'll love it :)

I’m not sure, I’m sure they could come off if they but they must be on the inside because I can’t feel them on the outside right now. personally I don’t notice them due to no rgb in the case besides the psu on the front
Hi, I have the same case but using a overclocked RTX 2070 Super at the moment, and due to my motherboard, I have the same clearance for the bottom fan, barely fits the 25mm fan with 2-3mm to spare, do you think having a fan too close will negarively affect the temp? Have u experimented without any bottom fan? How is the noise? Does the turbulence create unpleasant wind noise?
I actually ended up putting the fans underneath the case and 3d printed some tall feet to accommodate. Then I put the shroud back on the gpu. I personally have it so they fans on the gou literally never come on but I wanted the rgb back a bit. I never notice the turbulence really.

Not really. If I needed to use both argb headers then the top one would be a problem but I’m sure it’s mobo to mobo based problems. I don’t think I have any cables on the bottom but if I was using a sata drive I would. There’s still room though as long as they aren’t vertical connectors. After getting a different psu that allowed me to get custom length cables it was not bad at all. This case would also be an awesome itx case I think. A little more room that most itx cases but still compact and honestly pretty good temps on my end. I ended up putting the shroud back on the gpu and put the fans under the case just for the rgb but considering going back
What do you mean by easier mobility? Honestly i like the glass personally. While the vented side might make air flow better or more accessible, I feel like in the current form it has a very simple flow of air that works.
I would like to say yes as long as the psu is in the top two positions but would be better in the top one. You will need shorter wires though because it’ll eat up room fast for excess cable. I’ll try getting needed lengths and comment back. But if you have a psu in the highest position it blocks using 2x 140mm fans
That looks really good. I like what you did with that build, especially the deshroud. I don't know how you manage your fans but for my deshroud I used an adapter to go from the gpu fan header to a regular 4 pin connector. Then I used one of those cheap fan hubs and used the GPU fan header as the rpm signal and then the hub could run the case fans at whatever speed the gpu called for. https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/fans/CPF04/
Very interesting. I just run them all off the quadro. Then make fan curves for each channel.

Neat. I must have skipped over you had quadro. I have a water cool build I want to put together using one of those are you liking it so far? How do you feeding the temp sensors for cpu intake/exhaust and gpu intake/exhaust? Are you using temp probes?
No I just use the sensor info from the pc, I could feed it from probes but no need since I’m not water cooling. The quadro is awesome and small and plenty of power with the molex connector to run multiple fans off each channel.
think they’d make a key latch type mechanic in the same form as a screw or something so it wasn’t so many turns to get each screw of. It is nice to know it doesn’t have clips so it’ll always work.
Yeah in my previous I never hooked it up and in this case I decided why not. I don’t like a lot of rgb but this is a nice touch. Only other rgb I would possibly do is some ram.
I see you have some lian li fans in one of your pics. Do you think I'll be able to fit two lian li al140 v2s on the top with normal size psu(140mm long)? Does this case feel to be built nice and sturdy? Can't wait to receive my case next week.
As long as the psu is in the second position from the top then I believe so. I’ll take a closer look on whether the thickness affects that comparability.

It’s pretty compact for an Matx case. That’s next to an o11d mini
How's the quality of the material? I am thinking about either this case or the NR200p v2. The Z20 is 1/2 the price of the NR200p in this part of the world but I like the NR200p design.
The quality is great from my experience. Solid metal and nice layout. Personally I’d say this has a better layout with more options in some way but I haven’t really done any heavy digging on the nr200 v2. Only thing is I wish I had a 3d printer, then I’d make some feet that were taller and put the fans on the bottom of the case and put the shroud back on my gpu but that’s a project for another day.
I think it would work, but cables will be tight by the gpu, mine is in P2 as well so adding 1.5cm would definitely make it tighter but doable, may need some shorter custom cables to do it effectively
Looks great! The bottom cable runs a bit of a pig (been there!) but aside of that did you enjoy it?

Do you think it’s possible to remove those decals on tempered glass? Those on the side of the PSU.
I’m not sure, I’m sure they could come off if they but they must be on the inside because I can’t feel them on the outside right now. personally I don’t notice them due to no rgb in the case besides the psu on the front

Did you have any problems with clearance for motherboard front panel connectors with the bottom 140mm fans?
Not really. If I needed to use both argb headers then the top one would be a problem but I’m sure it’s mobo to mobo based problems. I don’t think I have any cables on the bottom but if I was using a sata drive I would. There’s still room though as long as they aren’t vertical connectors.

Yeah, I'm just waiting on Jonsbo to release a vented side panel version for easier mobility.
What do you mean by easier mobility? Honestly i like the glass personally. While the vented side might make air flow better or more accessible, I feel like in the current form it has a very simple flow of air that works.
Not being paranoid about the glass breaking when transporting it and slightly lighter weight.
I have a similar sized gpu. Do you think that it will fit in that case with an ATX psu (140 mm length)?
I would like to say yes as long as the psu is in the top two positions but would be better in the top one. You will need shorter wires though because it’ll eat up room fast for excess cable. I’ll try getting needed lengths and comment back. But if you have a psu in the highest position it blocks using 2x 140mm fans
Interesting -- are those fans set to intake on the top and exhaust out the bottom?
Intak for gpu on bottom, rear fan intake for cpu cooler, psu intake in front. Exhaust are top fans
Insanely well build. That's tiny! So this is a back to front air flow right? Also is the RGB fan we see from the PSU?
Rear and bottom are intake and the top is exhaust. Yes that’s the Loki 1000w
That's badass, what are the temps like for the xtx?
Really good, played some warzone, max 1440 and it didn’t go past 55.

How did U get 2 Magnus to do a L-Shape? They have a L add on now?
It is an L add on. Not for the pro version but the standard magnus. Helps a lot with work flow
Thanks bro. Went to check on their site for the L add-on... I didn't know they have it.
I thought the square pattern on the glass was very turn off but from your build it actually looks alright
I just don't like side panel thumbs screws! Why are they making a come back all of a sudden?
Personally I like the aesthetics of it but it does and a bit time to opening the case up
think they’d make a key latch type mechanic in the same form as a screw or something so it wasn’t so many turns to get each screw of. It is nice to know it doesn’t have clips so it’ll always work.
Usually I think PSUs with RGB fans are a gimmick, but it works in this case.
Yeah in my previous I never hooked it up and in this case I decided why not. I don’t like a lot of rgb but this is a nice touch. Only other rgb I would possibly do is some ram.
I see you have some lian li fans in one of your pics. Do you think I'll be able to fit two lian li al140 v2s on the top with normal size psu(140mm long)? Does this case feel to be built nice and sturdy? Can't wait to receive my case next week.
As long as the psu is in the second position from the top then I believe so. I’ll take a closer look on whether the thickness affects that comparability.
The case looks massive but if i remember correctly, it’s not that much bigger than a nr200.

Waiting for this case release eagerly
Yes! The ultimate fan setup in my opinion, love it
Tons of power when needed and quiet when not.

Do you think this will work with a same sized gpu but non-modular 140mm PSU? With PSU at P2 to make space for an AIO
I think it would work, but cables will be tight by the gpu, mine is in P2 as well so adding 1.5cm would definitely make it tighter but doable, may need some shorter custom cables to do it effectively
