Only after I've benchmarked it and use it for content on my channel of course! :) Although I should say that I don't make much profit. I'm usually happy to get nearly what I assembled it for. The reward is building it.

I think so too!

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

Thank you, it was challenging to work in an enclosure this small, but it can be made to work! Also helps to have lower power parts to keep the heat down like that Pentium. All in all, really happy with how it turned out.

This is one of my frustrations with this case. A 140mm fan fits directly center in this case. I bought a 140mm fan so it would be symmetrical. However, with a full size GPU reaching up to the front of the case, my 140mm fan simply would not fit. It was SO close. But I was shoving the GPU too far to the side and putting too much pressure on the PCIe connector to be comfortable leaving it like that. The engineers who designed this could have made the case 5mm wider and solved this issue so that one could fit a 140mm fan and a full size GPU, but of course, that didn't happen. So instead I had to mount the 120mm fan which holes are offset for some reason.

Long story short, it upsets me too. Lol.

Thank you very much! Means a lot! :)

I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where used PC parts pop up relatively frequently. It's a great way to build an inexpensive gaming rig for much less than one might think.

Thank you! It was a fun challenge to build in. Also might seriously consider adding a handle to the top if I didn't have to let it go. Not sure the next person would want that.

Hello! Thanks for the compliments. :)

So I haven't actually put it on the scale but I would estimate around ten pounds. That might be plus or minus a couple. As for the sturdiness of the case, it is quite sturdy and has a bracket for the power supply to rest on so that it does not fall down onto the CPU which is nice. I noticed however, that the integrity of the case requires quite a bit on the HDD and SSD bracket which spans the width of the case and screws into either side. Even if you don't plan to use a 2.5 or 3.5" drive, I would recommend keeping the bracket there so that the case doesn't flex.

It'd be the perfect size and shape to travel with, and with the GPU mounted like it is, gravity isn't fighting to tear it off the PCIe connector like a normal case.

Video card temps are very low, even with an open air GPU. But I would assume that is because of the case vents that cover that side of the panel. They don't have dust covers and airflow is pretty unrestricted for that side of the case.

However the CPU temperature surprised me. I was expecting a low power Pentium to place lower than 65 degrees even with a stock cooler. I believe the CPU temperatures are a result of the open air GPU taking cool air from the outside and blowing it into the case with no exhaust fan. This case has no exhaust besides the power supply if you choose to orient it that way. I chose not to orient mine that way because I didn't want the PSU and CPU to be fighting over airflow since they are right on top of each other, instead electing to place a strong fan in the front of the case and rely on positive air pressure to exhaust hot air out the back and sides, which it does somewhat effectively, however still resulting in a somewhat warm CPU.

I can imagine one might be able to mode the case to put a 90mm fan in the other side of the case next to the CPU to exhaust hot air, especially for higher powered processors.

Thanks! They're becoming some of my favorite form factors to work with due to the challenge and planning it takes to get everything to fit. It's also a challenge scooping up used itx parts for a good price. The motherboards for these I usually have to buy new.

I hadn't taken any screenshots with more benchmarks. But I did do a video about it! I'm not totally sure on the rules of plugging in a video of this system here but I'll link it in this comment. There's benchmarks of PUBG, Wildlands, and DOOM as well as Unigine Heaven.

Nope, didn't have to modify anything. It was a bit of a pain to wedge it in there, especially with the motherboard already inside. But there was a way to do it. Just barely fit with only a few millimeters to spare lengthwise.

I agree whole heartedly. I 100% think a fully modular power supply would have been a great asset. Even more so, a modular power supply with custom extensions that would be shorter than the actual cords would be even better as to cut down on length. In that same respect, an M.2 drive would have been beneficial as well to remove the need for SATA and power cables. I would have done both of these things, but had a couple reason not to.

For the power supply, I had gotten this one as a bundle with the CPU and case from the same person for $60. So since I had it, I wanted to use it since I got it so inexpensively.

As for the M.2, price was the key factor in considering the SSD. M.2's have gotten much cheaper, but still aren't the point of normal SATA SSD's. Since this case has no windows and isn't much for show as it is for space efficiency, I figured someone might appreciate the extra $20 off and live with the clutter they can't see inside the case.

As for the clutter itself, yes, this case was rough to work in. Really no space at all to fit all those extra cables. As bad as it looks from that one picture, it got a little better as the build went on. But there's no substitute for room. Still, the cables tend to sit above the intake fan apart from the CPU cable and I/O and USB cable. Which I tried to group together as much as possible.

The case has it's own issues such as coming with front I/O and USB 3.0 connectors which are far too long than what's necessary in that tiny case. And I probably would have been more careful about cable management if you could see it from the outside..,

I think it would be brilliant for Diablo 3. In fact, this more than exceeds the minimum system requirements. Never played Diablo 3 myself before, but a quick google search of what Diablo 3 requires to run seems to indicate that a PC like this would be a great portable machine that would run your game beautifully.

Good luck on the build! Hopefully you can find some parts for cheap. Make sure you match the correct chipsets and do your best to visually inspect the components you buy as best you can for damage before purchasing. I've had some hiccups with parts I've bought used before but have yet to get completely burned.

I find that eBay can tend to be a bit overpriced for parts. Facebook marketplace and Offer Up usually have a decent amount of parts for sale. It might be hard to build a full system with used parts. I usually have to buy at least one or two things new. But buying the majority of hardware from a person who took good care of their rig is a great way to save money. Remember to ask if they can take a few bucks off too if you can't afford the asking price. Many people will come down if you're polite and don't request something unreasonably low. :)

Hello, thanks for the compliments! It is the stock Intel cooler. I didn't measure it myself but according to a quick google search it measures 2.5" tall. And just from memory I think it had about a 1/2" to 3/4" of space from the PSU that sits directly above it. If it were me, I wouldn't pursue anything that was taller than the stock cooler or go liquid cooling with an inexpensive front aio 120mm rad. That seems to be what this case was intended for, but for me, the stock cooler worked fine. :)

Good luck with your build! :)
