    If you are finding the background music a bit loud relative to the narration make sure that “stable volume” is switched off in video settings. Having stable volume switched on seems to be bumping the volume of the music.

      Stable volume is on. I still find the music distracting, especially the bouncing intro music. Honestly, on build and instruction videos, I much prefer no music.

      @@1SMHARRIS Just to be clear stable volume should be switched off if you want less music volume. But yea, I will reduce the quantity of music in future videos.

      This is a really cool project and I get it from a hobbyist standpoint. What I don't get is the people that go SFF for a PC that will never leave their desk, what do they do with the extra desk space they so desperately needed? It really cracks me up when that low-profile Noctua cooler they overpaid for isn't cutting it so they take off the side panel and leave it off so they can install a real CPU cooler, leaving it sticking out the side of the case smdh

    I think this is not only the best looking small formfactor build, but probably the most professional and sensible one too. I mean, this is truly small and portable, while leaving nothing behind. I love how you gave the gpu its own chamber without needing to seriously bulk out the internal volume, and the entire case acts as a passive heatsync. Really smart stuff.

    Will the CAD files be for sale and or open to public transformation and modification? I think this could be quickly modded to accommodate new systems. Not every new motherboard will fit the bill, but MoBo designs are slow enough to change there should be viable builds from generation to generation with minimal changes.
    I have a CNC mill that I would be interested in making this design or a similar design.
