The CH160 Plus was out of stock, so I bought a CH170 Plus and turned it into a CH160 Plus myself by adding custom feet and a pull handle.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900XT

Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH

GPU: ASRock Challenger RX 9070 XT (triple-slot)

RAM: 32GB Kllisre DDR4 3200MHz, overclocked to 3400MHz

PSU: Corsair CX750, 150mm, non-modular

CPU Cooler: 240mm AIO liquid cooler (also a 80mm intake fan at the front lol)

Storage: 512GB XPG S40G NVMe SSD + 1TB KingSpec NX NVMe SSD

Wi-Fi: Intel AX210

I'm mesmerized by how such a compact case can fit a full-size ATX PSU, a triple-fan, triple-slot GPU, and a 240mm AIO. And considering I'm using a non-modular PSU, the cable management turned out better than I expected,

After I wrote half of this post I decided to check the shopping apps. A3 wood black with glass panel is now in stock. But I'll wait until the sale period first anyway.

As the title said. I bought everything to build a PC except the case. This specific case was Lian Li PC-7 Plus from 2006. Got it for free because my dad's workplace was throwing this away.

The case actually comes with a 3rd gen Intel build inside. But I've moved it somewhere else long ago. And this becomes an empty case for a couple of years

Here's the specs so far of what I built into this "temporary" case :

-Ryzen 5 7600x

-Asus B650m AYW-Wifi

-CXMT 16gb DDR5 5600 (generic green stick)

-Manli Gallardo RTX 3050 8gb (Given to me for free by a family member)

-PNY CS2241 500gb gen 4 nvme (bought from a friend of mine for $15 before the price went up)

-Some wd 1tb hdd because all my data is there since when I use a laptop

-Thermalright Peerless assassin 120se

-2x stock fan that comes with this case

-Cooler Master G650M

The temps are fine. Roughly 70c on both cpu and GPU.

The RTX 3050 is definitely the weakest part of this pc. I'll definitely upgrade it in the future but it'll do for now.

Also this specific RTX 3050 has a bright blue light that can't be disabled by software at all.

Cable management doesn't matter because it's a temporary setup.

Anyways, I just want to show a 20 year old case with a modern PC inside.

I searched for videos or photos, and only found people claiming via text that it fits. I'm happy to confirm that the noctua nh-d15 g2 does indeed fit the Lian li a3.

The fans also fit perfectly without adjustment needed using team group t-force Vulcan memory.

Sorry for the messy wires, I still need to finalize the adjustment in my build.

I know it’s a little big but I loved the h4 flow so I’m glad I could shrink my footprint down a bit.

Parts/specs:
9800x3d
MSI inspire 3x RTX 5080
32gb Ripjaws s5
Aorous Elite B650m
Corsair RM1000x
Arctic Freezer iii pro 240mm
7x Noctua Chromax NF-A12x25
5in. Turzx Smart screen

It’s a tight fit but it works flawlessly. I first tried with a arctic lf3 but the radiator was too thick for my mb and ram combo.

Finally got my definitive PC for at least 2 years
I like to invert the case position switching the feets when i get sick of it
Btw, this airflow works perfectly?
Based on the first photo:
top fan: exhaust
side fans: intake
bottom fan: intake

Hardware conditions in Brazil are not so good for upgrades, so ill stay a bit with this config.

Hey all,

I've been exploring mATX lately and was wondering what cases ya'll would recommend I check out. I'm creating a birthday/ christmas wishlist for friends and family, and I usually throw in a new case or two in there since I like to refresh my PC case at least once a year, sometimes more often.

As mentioned in the title, I've used the Gamdias M4M, which is the first mATX case I owned, and now I'm on the Lian Li B4. Ideally I'd like to check out a case that is similar in size to the B4 in terms of length and width, as it's the best fit for my desk given everything else I have on it. Height doesn't really matter too much, and I'm flexible on PSU as well. I own both an ATX and SFX PSUs, and I've noticed that some cases will let you use either, like the B4 while others might only let you use one or the other
