what a qt
Looks awesome - what is the cooler grate on the side?
That’s the Noctua C14S cooler. it just goes right up to the edge of the side panel when closed lol.
That’s a good looking computer, great job getting it in that small form factor
Thanks! Definitely was rewarding to get all that hardware into a case that small without too much modification.
Looks so nice! I wonder if building a smaller pc have an effect on the total cost, does it come more expensive when you go with smaller case and mobo?
On average, it’s definitely more expensive, but if you’re not going for the best of the best, then you can build a strong PC at a reasonable price.
A lot of SFF cases (<20L) are enthusiast, boutique cases like the FormD T1, but there have been more mainstream cases like the Cooler Master NR200, Fractal Design Terra, Fractal Design Ridge, and more.
Mobo options are limited compared to your usual ATX optional so if you want a specific one with a lot of features, you’ll have to pay up.
Then, SFX PSUs have their own SFF tax for being small. Depending on the size of your case, you’ll want custom PSU cables that are shorter than the stock cables.
Everything else is about the same, except you have more limited choices to buy from.
There is definitely an ITX form factor tax compared to a regular ATX build. Especially with boutique cases.
Gorgeous build. Enjoy that hotbox!
Nice one
brave little toaster!
Nice build! ITX will definitely be my next build.
What model mobo did you use?
This one’s the Gigabyte Aorus Z690i Ultra Lite DDR4.
