Thermaltake Core G3 Black Slim Small Form Factor ATX Perforated Metal Front and Top Panel Gaming Computer Case 2.0 Edition with Two 120mm Front Fan Pre-Installed CA-1G6-00S1WN-A0

We have a desk that holds a mid tower and SFF. I wanted to build another system that could handle a bigger GPU than normal low profile cards for SFF. The other tower only leaves about 7" and I wanted to make sure that I would still have enough airflow for both machines. This case is awesome and a beast for the space. I put in a mATX motherboard with OEM cooler and had room to spare. I moved the included fans to the top of the case, then bought 2 LED fans for the front. My GPU is actually too small to reach the supports, so I'll be upgrading to a longer 3-fan card next. Even with a SSD and HDD there was enough room for a SFX-L PSU with 120mm fan to fit. The fans move a lot of air through and there is still room for an AIO cooler but I don't think I'll need that as the GPU fan and PSU fan only come on during heavy loads. I got a 90 degree adapter for the 24 pin connector and that makes cable management better, a few zip ties and adhesive ties got everything else sorted out. This would be great as an HTPC, fun to build and show off. I'm thinking about doing arctic camo hydro-dip for the front and sides, but I'm enjoying it just fine already.

This is a SLIM case! Be mindful of clearance especially if you intend to water cool! Definitely more room for custom water cooling with an ITX board. I feel bad for ATX builders using this case to design a similar rig.. With a GPU in place, there is no room to utilize extra PCIe slots included with an ATX board. The stock fans were way to thick to fit with the top mounted radiator, had to use 15mm fan instead. The top radiator is an ultrathin 20.5mm with a 15mm fan and NO room to spare! The bottom radiator is a low profile 35.5mm with 2x15mm fans and 20mm to spare. Port location is crucial also. Some radiators position the threaded ports closer together, this will interfere with a full size graphics card if connecting at the top. Look for ports that are farther apart or near the outside edges when choosing radiator for this case. XSPC has some reasonable options. Fair warning, be mindful of the metal components you choose for water cooling. Mixing dissimilar metals such as aluminum radiators with copper water blocks will introduce galvanic corrosion! This will destroy your cooling system and eventually lead to clogging or even worse, LEAKS!Assembly was similar to building a ship inside of a bottle. For the price, I wont complain about the complete lack of cable management...Over all I am very happy with the way this build came out!THE BUILDMOBO: MSI B450I Gaming Plus ACCPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 4.4ghz (8c/16t) OC @ +200mhzRAM: 16GB (2x8GB) T-Force Dark Pro 3200mhz CL14 OC @ +400mhz CL16GPU: GTX 1080 Founders Edition OC @ +200mhz(core) & +200mhz(mem)OS Storage: 2tb M.2 Samsung 970 Evo plus (3500mbps read)Media Storage: 2x8tb (RAID 0) Seagate Exos 7200rpm (400mbps read)Res/Pump: Freezemod 800ml/hCPU Block: Copper/Stainless- Freezemod.

This case was used for a living room gaming PC since it didn't take up a ton of space and could fit a bunch of hardware I already had.It's hard to find a smaller usable case where you can use a full size ATX board with no issues, great selection of case ports only missing USB-C but that was easy enough to add with a dremel tool & a drill.Frame is nice and sturdy even when the panels are removed and removing the main panel leaves you with access to the entire case.Limited to SFX size PSU but those come in over 850W these days so that just means you will probably have to spend a little extra but shouldn't be a flat out limitation.There is almost no clearance on the back side of the board for cable management so you have to get clever in how you route everythingDrive cage can be removed from the bottom of the case to reveal another 120mm fan mount and mounting a 2nd fan to the top of the case is easy enough without any modification. otherwise 2, 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator can be mounted to the front of the case.You will most likely want to remove the dust filters for increased airflow.The gpu mounting position is unique but unless you have a fan added to the bottom of the case or have one or two top fans it can get kinda hot if you want something like a 3080.Side window being on the opposite side of most cases lets you put it on the left side of your desk and still stare into your PC... however the window is acrylic so it will scratch if you aren't careful with it.I updated my build with a full custom watercooled loop with an external radiator so there is room to spare if you fit things right and make good use of the space.
