I have the same case. you can actually remove the top and bottom handles as they are only screw on and use skid protectors as alternative feet (or you can get those aluminum feet for a premium look) to get a smaller volume. you'll have to make new sidepanels that match the new dimensions though but that's done relatively easy if you can find someone that does acrylic work, or make one from mesh and magnetic tape. cable management is very good considering huge part of the case are just holes, you can get cable ties done in. the standoffs are a huge issue though. some risers fit, some dont. and some motherboards don't align like what happened here. my sapphire b550i doesn't fully line up with my I/O shield for some reason and one of the holes don't line up but my previous board, the Gigabyte B450i AORUS is completely fine.
I also have this case. The riser we bought online was also misaligned so my dad had to bring out the powertools. Cut out new holes on the riser pcb so that we can screw the gpu down.
I also have the same case but luckily have my mobo and pcie riser screw holes aligned properly. I really recommend it if you need your pc to be portable as i have already hand carried this in a flight recently with no issues.
turns out the riser issues are because they sell their own riser with a different style hole - its more vertical than horizontal or diagonal like other risers. if you did not purchase the case with the riser, you will be immediately confronted with this issue. I'll probably get the riser sometime next year as I would like to have PCIe 4.0 to get a little extra squeeze from my 7800 XT also, I'm surprised they are introducing solid colors for this. I wish it had black though. the one I got had a metallic silver finish like the old Mac G5 PCs
Thanks for bringing to our attention. The case would've gotten a worse review had I known though. The riser that I'm using has been compatible for typical sandwich style cases other than this case. With this info, it sounds fishy that I need to buy a riser from them. It's not like meshroom where, due to its compatibility, I had to buy their riser (or at least a within spec riser). For this case, it's a modified 185mm riser and somehow sounded proprietary for its holes. Overall, my comment still stands: you have to be a tinkerer for this case. Either know how to fix pcie issues, or drill holes to a de-facto 185mm dual reverse riser, or know where to source their metalfish riser.
@@manongunboxing I believe you have to use a 20cm reverse riser for this one. I also bought the same case from Lazada and saw reviews that you need a 20cm length.
@@xSeanok you have to use metalfish's own riser cables for exact fit with the holes. I just bought one and it fits exactly vs other riser cables I tried as well where one hole can be screwed but not the other. if you are purchasing this case, you need to get the one bundled with a riser already, do not cheap out by thinking you can save money by reusing an old riser. the PCIe 3.0 bundle is more than enough for most people unless you really want the silver look of the PCIe 4.0, which I did - it fits the OG silver color very nicely.
@@manongunboxing hmmm for 50k that reasonable considering mini build na sya boss. Looking into minimalist and space efficient yung tipo ko boss. Do you think tecware fusion hybrid is a good option given na quite larger chasis sya compare to this build?
I have no prior experience with it and likely iisnob ko sya for the foreseeable future dahil saktong hindi na sya SFF hehe. Pero based on paper specs, ok naman. Nr200p style pero mATX. In the leagues of SAMA IM01 na hindi ko pa rin natetest. Point ko lang sa mga SFF or borderline SFF na kasya mATX - very good for budget kasi may low end option for the motherboard and meron din namang high-end. Going ITX only will limit options by a lot… also going bigger usually means easier to build on, hindi ganong kahitap sa clearance ng big GPUs. May isa akong build dito, sabi ng isang nagcomment, tanggalin ko daw yung I/O shroud ng GPU para kasya… while a true solution, not very ideal. If you like its looks, then good for you to consider din. Anyway, that’s my long winded answer for “a non-definitive ok naman, go try if you like it” hehe

Very noice SFF content lagi brad. Do an acrobatic flip next time hahaha
Always love seeing new SFF content from this channel (hitting like on every one of your vids). Keep it up, Manong!!! ❤

One more thing. My pcie riser is gen 3 and looks kinda different from the one in the video
@@hehexd4449because he isn't using the supplied metalfish riser
@@seibertron500 Ah makes sense, probably missed when he mentioned it
Is there no version of this with front Type C?

no black color hmm
How much is the cost for this build?
hi, this is around 60K PHP but the components are old so you may want to consider newer components as well
Boss may gusto akong bilhing case sa AliExpress, ang mahal ng shipping, may way po ba para makamura? Thank you
Sorry no idea. I haven't tried aliexpress po
I feel you. Been wanting to buy cases from AliExpress but shipping and tax might be a big issue.
Kamusta na po Aisurix GPU mo?
Deads na po
@@manongunboxing awts, ilang days,weeks,months po tinagal?
do you speak spanish?
No, sorry.
How much sir overall cost nung build? Lookin into small form factor na cpus 🥹. Thanks!
Hmmm…. Medyo outdated parts na ito, pero nowadays, around 50k.
Napapaisip tuloy ako kung dapat ko na ba imodernize yung parts
