Hello fellow SFF enthusiasts, With the announcement of Razers mini-ITX im wanting to build an ITX finally. However it doesnt look like that box will be shipping to the UK anytime soon. Does anyone have any case recommendations that are similar to that? Ive been looking at the In WIn A1 Plus case too. Current parts i have Ryzen 3900x (i already have a Mini-ITX case thanks to ordering the wrong part) Corsair RGB RAM Corsair H100i SE EVGA 1080ti FTW3 i dont have a SF PSU so will need to get one of those

ijyt posted:Internal layout looks basically identical to the CoolerMaster NR200P hmm yes it does. Thanks. Also just found out via Razer support that their itx is shipping worldwide come november so might hold off. Hnnngg, that being said. That CM box is nice. But is also not available until late Nov CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Oct 13, 2020 |

ijyt posted:I dunno, I feel you'd be better off with the NR200 and a lightstrip, the Razer case is still steel, at that price I'd be hoping for aluminium. Yeah maybe, im a huge razer fanboi though and have a few things that hook into Synapse though.

Warmachine posted:I just looked at the Razer site, and yeah that's an NR200 with the serial numbers filed off, and a premium tacked on for the snek logo. Yeah, the shape is slightly different, the Razer one doesnt have the rounded edges. I do like the white option for the NR200 though Id have to go for the NR200p as i want a glass side.

Ill also have to get an SF PSU, PC partpicker figures my current build uses about 450W, judging for miscalculations i figured i would be safe with a 650W Something like this https://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-evga-supernova-650gm-fully-modular-80-plus-gold-single-rail-541a-92mm-fan-sfx-psu CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Oct 13, 2020 |

I mean my 1080ti is still kicking lumps out of everything i throw at it. But future proofing isnt the worst idea i guess.

Since there's no definitive date that the NR200p will be back in stock in the UK does anyone have any other suggestions? Basically it just needs to be large enough to house a 320mm GPU. And preferably not a cube. I also have a motherboard that's not got a vertical GPU mount

The more I think about it the more I might cut my losses and sell the 1080ti and get a 3070 or something Which will give me more case options.

Anyone got any experience or knowledge of the Fractal Design era cases? I imagine thermals in that might be an issue as the side doesn't have much give to it Yeah from reviews that case looks like it has a lot of issues. Shame, looks nice.

Urgh...I don't know what to do. I either tread water and see if the n200 comes back in stock. Or sell my GPU and buy a smaller form card and a NCase m1

Butterfly Valley posted:Most arrangements work and the difference is a couple of degrees between different configurations, but from watching a lot of people way more meticulous than me testing these things, 2x exhaust fans on top, cpu cooler exhausting out the back, extra fans as intake on the bottom if you want. Cheers, Im torn on what to put in it. I currently have a H100i SE 280mm AIO, so if i put that in i would probably have 2 exhaust at the top. Then potentially put the fans that came with the case on the bottom, or one on the bottom and 1 on the rear (bottom one as intake, rear as outtake). The other option is to use the AMD Ryzen stock cooler and just have the two fans one exhaust on top and 1 rear

Butterfly Valley posted:The rear fan mount is only 90mm and the two fans that come with the nr200p are 120mm so that's out. I think 280mm AIOs have to go on the side panel, so you could do that with the two case fans as a bottom intake and top exhaust. Yeah the only annoying thing about that is id have to commit to the side mount. Which im not sure about as ive not settled on if i want the mesh or the glass panel yet. I might buy a 90mm fan from somewhere. Eh. Yeah i think the 280mm AIO is a bit too big for what i want to do. Looks like another part to sell off. Gonna try initially with the stock Ryzen with a 92mm on the back as exhaust and 2 exhausts on top and see how that goes. Or rather, initially have no back exhaust and just have the two on top. Oh, the AIO i have is a 240mm, not a 280 CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Oct 19, 2020 |

I know a few people that have ordered guitars from there before. I've ordered some keyboard bits and pieces from there too. It's just a chinese factory outlet essentially. The quality is very YMMV but it's reliable in terms of you will receive your order.

NR200P built. Think I'm gonna stick with the perforated side for now. Cable management is not good right now. Might improve, or not... I'm probably gonna switch the mounting of the psu to a side mount as opposed to the back mount to get more room for cabling Anyone who is building this. For the love of God put the GPU in last. like even after you have put the sides back on, then install the GPU. For some reason only 1 top fan is working atm but I think I know why (possible wrong header on the Mobo).

Butterfly Valley posted:One solution I saw with the nr200 was routing some of the cables through the area behind the front panel where the two ssd bays are, dunno how useful that'll be until I get some poo poo to put in my own case but I've seen some clean builds online using that method I'll give it a try tomorrow and will report back.

Took everything apart and re did the cable work. Almost hosed it as I didn't put the cpu back in right and caused boot issues.

Warmachine posted:So my first read on this had me thinking for some reason you unsocketed your CPU for cable work (which had me confused) and somehow managed to put it back in, clamp it down, and mount the heatsink wrong (which confused me more and also made me anxious). Nope you are right. I re-did the paste and somehow hosed up remounting something. The heatsink was mounted correctly but I think the CPU was slightly off. Trust me.

Is it worth paying almost double for the Noctua over the Scythe? I can't find anything to justify it or is it just Noctua is a more well known brand?

I bought a 650 last week and even if I upped my 1080Ti to a 3080 I'd still be about 100W under capacity. Thats with a 3900X so I don't really agree with saying you are gimping your options.

NewEgg has the Nr200p in white. The P version comes with both mesh side and perforated side so you can choose which you want.

movax posted:Whoops, I should have clarified, looking for NR200 in black. Not interested in glass sides / extra hardware I'll just toss — from briefly groking this thread, seems like the Fuma 2 fits just fine with either side panel, and is actually better for this case than the usual Noctua suspects. My fuma 2 comes soon so I'll let you know but yeah that seems to be the general consensus. Ah didn't realise you were after black. Some YT channel I follow posted that somewhere had it in stock so obviously now I can't find which site it was...
