OK so very quickly. I managed to find a LTD ed PUBG case last year and put one of my home rigs in it. Seems it was a bad idea to fit two 240mm AIOs, so yeah.
I then recased my away rig. To be this.
It has a X570i Strix in.
With a 3950X. Which idles at over 50c (more like 60) and turns the case into a heater even at idle. Oddly the temps don't go up that much under load, but for some reason they seem to idle very hot. Which is a problem. Was fine in winter, but not now.
It has 16gb Corsair Dom plat, but that is going for 32gb Crucial.
Nothing special, it really doesn't need to be. GPU will be the 6700XT Strix.
It has a couple of NVME drives in it. I think they are 500gb. Will add another Sandisk 1tb SATA.
Oh and of course the case.
So the config will be 3x120 bringing air in. I will then be putting this in the roof.
But I bought better fans for it. I also ordered another one yesterday for the exhaust.
I will then use the three from the AIO as intakes.
Now obviously putting a ITX board in a case like this will look pretty stupid. However, I have a plan. I bought a nice cheap GPU vertical mount.
And with that absolutely enormous Strix in there it will cover all of the empty space.
I shall reuse my 650w Supernova gold, and I have these I swapped around to look even more PUBG crate.
Of course bigger case on desk means less space. So I got a new KB.
And some cheap but fun keycaps.
