S400 - Mini-ITX PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB 3.0 Type - C Port - VGA Card Length 335mm MAX -Cable Management System - luminum Mini-ITX Motherboard Small Portable PC Case (Black)

My first ITX build and it went pretty smoothly with this case. It comes with a Gen 3 PCI-e riser, so be sure to configure that in your BIOS to set it to Gen 3 instead of Auto/Gen 4. You can only fit a a lot profile air cooler so pay attention to that as well. No regular size air coolers or liquid coolers. Installed a 120mm x 25mm case fan on the front part of the top panel. Wanted to do the same to the back part of the top panel but the clearance height is a lot smaller so you'll need to use a 120mm x 15mm case fan instead. Diagram says there's room for a case fan at the bottom as well but honestly I don't think that's possible as you'll need that space for the cables. But otherwise it's a great case that's smaller than the size of a shoebox. Top handle is nice but I don't think I'll be using that only when carrying the unit around - will put it into a bag or support the bottom.

So the case is extremely well made for the price, and it is pretty easy to build in. This case moonlights under a lot of names so finding information is a little challenging but other than that it's a 5 star buy. My only real complaint is the pcie 3.0 riser, not that it really effects performance. If you're interested in what's inside my case: Gigabyte b760i aorus pro Intel i5 13600k (thermal wright contact frame used) Thermal wright axp120x67 Powercolor Hellhound 7900xtx Corsair sfx 750w platinum Samsung 980 2tb 32gb Corsair vengeance 6000 cl30 This is a little gaming monster, used primarily for 4k gaming (high refresh esports stuff ) and atmosphere rich single player stuff (starfield, bg3 etc). Happy with the performance and the temps. The noise levels are minimal with some fan curves, and the front USB port and USB c ports are handy (though I removed both for better airflow for the GPU). Overall I'd highly recommend this case. If you want to get a pcie 4.0 riser I went with Linkup. The 20cm dual reverse riser is a little longer than needed and the 18cm is a little too short. 19cm is the size you want.

Yes, yes that is a Merc 6800XT stuffed in there... The case said 335mm, the card said 342mm and ready or not here I come!!! lol... But seriously I did have to Dremel just a bit... So the case also said ok, 65mm cpu height max... The CPU cooler said 67mm and you better make room... So the case did, "had to Dremel a little bit more... And now, BOOM!!! Masterpiece... I've deemed her the Lunch Box... 💛🖤🤍... Yeah yeah I know, eat your heart out...

It fit all the parts that I wanted to put in there, and looks beautiful. Had it for 2 months now and have really enjoyed it. There is barely any clearance between the fan shields I placed and the riser cable (they pretty much touching), but I haven't experienced any issues with that yet so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Honestly, this is a really solid option for a case. I was going to get the new Fractal Terra but it’s sold out and ain’t nobody got time to wait. This was like 50 bucks cheaper and I’m happy I went with it. It’s a bit of a pain to work in but that’s what you sign up for when you try to fit an RX6800XT (and a Merc 319 one at that) in it. As others mentioned the one downside is the Gen 3 PCIe riser cable but for most applications this doesn’t matter. Would recommend!
