This case is sold here in my country in Asia too. There's a couple of brands but the shape and features are the same. I'm pretty sure there's a bigger version for ATX boards too, but I think they haven't changed the 2-slot GPU thing so it's very disappointing. You'd think a wind-tunnel like shape would make this case very cool on a temperature standpoint as long as the fans are good, but it's more bling than actual functionality structure-wise IMO which is very disappointing. They could've just done a good mesh on the front and had 4x120mm fan mounts there for ventilation power.

Taking the maximum power draw of your CPU and GPU and combining them seems a bad way to calculate PSU sizing considering there's other stuff in the system causing waste and as you know transient spikes are wild in particularly the 30xx series.
Your 5950X review says that at stock it consumes 120W, 3080 FTW3 review says 410W. This would lead me to believe a 550W PSU would be enough, when Nvidia themselves recommend 750W and I wouldn't even trust that because 750W on the PSU box does not mean 750W + 800W for Nvidia's crazy transients .

looking at the case market, i litterally bought the cheapest mesh front cooler master made back then, the N400... the only case i'd upgrade it from would have to be tougher, full flow and easy to clean. moved 4 times in 4 years, going to my 5th, so getting a glass side is just masochistic.
this round thing looks like ass. eh, i think cases should be judged like airplanes. if it looks right, i'll work right. havent been fooled yet.

First PC PC.... an old XT, and I only got that in 1996.... was a monochrome 80's version of a laptop at that. around 99 I started buying bits from the local bits place and built a dx4-100 with an expandable 4meg Diamond stealth with a Voodoo 3D accelerator. From there hax An AMD FX w/ 16 meg video and then finally in 2011 started actually upgrading to semi recent machines. I've had a fun run.

Would definitely be interested in downdraft cooler reviews. It's not something I need to know about often, but it has occasionally come in useful. Though, usually with that being smaller formfactor stuff, I'd just explain that smaller stuff gets pricier and recommend the NH-L9x65. Since it's relatively compact but still a good performer.

I never did understand why micro-atx never got more love - compact size with no compromises on performance seems like a great sweet spot. IMO standard ATX is more than the average gamer or home user even needs these days, we put a gpu and maybe some kind of wifi card and that's about it.

First comp was a Commodore 64. Then a hand built 486 with a cyrix processor ... Then a pentium Acer.... .... I miss the old B.B.S. days.... Many here be like whhaaaattt?BBS basically Early Internet. Bulletin Board System. So much fun....

lol if Intel gave more PCIe lanes I wouldn't be using a Micro-ATX ever.
But they kinda left no point in the extra size with only 20/24 lanes total.
2 8x cards, 2 4x cards and an NVME and the system is spent anyway.

I will admit that if I was doing a build in that case, I would have had the cooler oriented 180 degrees from what they did so the fans overhung on the VRM heatsink. But that is a matter of choice I guess.

Is the point just to build the PC and chat? second stream and PC is not even connected and turned on in the end. Well ok, for 2 seconds, not even quick heaven benchmark run to see the temperature.
