A perfect repurpose build walkthrough. No Streamer bloat to lengthen the time. You make me feel like doing the same thing with the old parts that I have from my old system that's still sitting in a box right now.
I know there were a lot of people in the same boat as you and ended up with a pre-built in order to get a 30 series GPU and this is a great way to re-use a majority of the parts.
Good idea for a video: downsizing with almost no new components. It's an intermediate step for people that are curious about small form factor (SFF) computers.
This is how I caught the SFF bug. Picked up a Cerberus X to move my ATX rig down to 20ish liters and just had to by an SFX PSU. This was years ago and there are other and less expensive options available today as shown here. Good stuff!
Later in the video, I briefly discuss the thermal and noise differences. However, since I don't expect people to copy this build's specs exactly, but rather to downsize from a larger ATX case with the components they already have, these details will vary. Nonetheless, I cover them briefly to give an idea of what to expect in terms of slightly increased thermals and noise levels.
For anyone buying this case in the future, make sure you have a riser cable that has a 180 degree reversible connector for BOTH ends. Wish I knew that previously and it was kind of an annoyance, but it’s wtvr. Hope this helps to anyone building in the future.
I love it, as someone who went from building mid-atx builds to sff, the whole attraction to SFF was the lack of un-used space. This is exactly where my thought process was, a case that is litterally the bare bones chassis and covers to fit all the components in.
On another note: There is a lot of mods and guides available for the Meshi, which also apply to most of the Meshroom S, too, including the standoff mod (either MB or GPU), that allows for better cable management.
Hey man, as a SFFPC enthusiast myself I just wanted to say that you've done an excellent job here. I just so happened to stumble across this video and the production quality, thoroughness and delivery were all super impressive. Keep up the great work!
@@InstantNameOfficial I think they mean it's gatekeepy in that using a *five* letter acronym where a word like "mini-PCs" or "Small PCs" could suffice creates unnecessary esotericism that can be interpreted as gate keeping. I don't know if I entirely agree in this case, but I get where he's coming from. It's certainly the case in video-games where people will create acronyms, portmanteus or abbreviations (things used to shorten dialogue) that are longer then the things they are standing in for, negating it's entire purpose and thus existing purely as a gatekeeping device.
this is a great video and something that Im definetly going to do.. and something I wish that the the NZXT Sff tower could do.. maybe with the V3 because the nxzt is bigger to my knowkledge... but if you really want to get into SFFP... optiumum tech is the King... hes production value.. the way he gets non conforming parts to fit.. or finds extremely creative ways to fit watter cooling into sub 10 L casses with 3090s and 4090s.. everything he does is fun to watch.. he even builds his own 3d printed parts to test thermals on certain cases..
thank you for making a video thats straight to the point and in detail. hate it when people drag a video that can be a 5 mins to 30 mins and just talk nonsense. this is a great video
Your videos are top of the line. I'm watching them like a hawk because I'm looking to replace my Corsair 540 builld (Nvidia 980ti, Intel 4790k). I definitely need to downsize it. Your last video on the 2000 D case with the 4080 looks like a great option. I also keep seeing stories where 4090 cards are melting. And it's really great that you do noise tests. Very few youtubers do this, and my 540 build makes a noticeable hum even at idle. I have a fanless mini pc that is nowhere near as powerful (Mele Quieter 2), but the silence is golden.
Check out optimum tech.. he is like the Godfather of SFF pcs.. he tes thermals.. sounds.. compatibility.. and he usually builds one in a new case every couple weeks for his channel.. sometimes he makes his own parts.. its just wild the video production he produces.. the 1 of a kind SFF s cases.. he teaches you that you can run a 4090 and a 13900ks in a ten litter case with a corsair min itx power supply.. this video is awesome and geared towards people who want to go smaller without the cost of doing so... Optimum tech shows you the absolute best you can do in the smallest form factor possible.I believe he is even asked to help SSF pc brands as a consultant
@@beefwantko7269 I've been watching Optimum Tech for a couple of years now. It's from his content that I found Devyn's videos because I was looking for SFF builds.
Meshroom S is my favorite case. I just finished building mine with a custom watercooling loop 5800X3D and RTX 3080 founders edition along with and EK pump res combo and a 280mm radiator. It still amazes me all the options and stuff you can fit in this case! 😁
I did this same thing with my kids old gigantic pc. Had to buy a sff power supply as well, but found out his 3060 ti will fit at the top horizontal location using a long pcie riser with one mm to spare. makes plugging in the display port plugs much easier.
SSUPD knocked it out of the park with all three of their cases. I've never used a case easier to build in than my Meshlicious, even with top-end components.
that's really impressive managing to reduce the overall footprint without compromising too much. A few degrees and some fan noise never really bothered me. I'm really considering something like this for the future! Nice work!
The meshlicious is definitely built better than the meshroom. Though, If I had an MATX board I would have gotten the meshroom too. The panels are a bit thicker and don't bend that easily on the meshlicious. I'm happy I got one before they ran out.
welcome to the ITX squad! Ive been using an Ncase M1 and Dan Case S4 for years and take them to all kinds of LAN events, gaming with friends, and take it more places than my laptop most of the time! I love having mITX over my old full sized towers.
In terms of "not being able to use PCIe slots": Have you tried using another riser cable? There are REALLY small ones. I bought one for my SAMA IM01 vertical mod, because the GPU was kinda blocking the lower PCIe 1x slot, rerouted the card to the lowest slot and that fixed the issue. OC, in the Meshi, you might have to become a bit creative, but if I can relocate my SFX-L PSU to the back and just use an SFX GPU, while managing to not break my fingers, you should be able to reposition a small WiFi card to a better place, too :)
For a case that is $150 the panels should not be cheap enough to bend. And before everyone hates on me I know mini towers are expensive but it doesn’t make sense if they use cheaper materials and worse construction. It costs them very little to install structural bars. They will probably eventually sell a v3 at $200 just for those bars. Also good video I’m looking for a case to downsize an old system too as a server and this other than the panels checks the boxes.
I think it looks very nice. Good job. As much as I like a smaller case I like having room to work around in so I guess I'll just be sticking with my mATX cases. But I think yours looks terrific.
This was the perfect video honestly, I've been wanting to do the same for about a year, great stuff man, its the first time I've seen an actual downsizing and not a "buy ITX"
What a great idea, never seen a build like this in this case, I agree definitely using an itx motherboard, would love to see more temps and benchmarks in gaming!
This is something I’ve been thinking about as I use my PC in the living room as well and couch game with controller. Currently have my an O11D Evo rig with a ton of stuff in it, so a lot will be compromised for downsizing. Thanks for sharing!
This is phenomenal I have been watching a bunch of what you put out since I want to move into a small form factor for my "upgrade build' but this video is exactly what I need! I have the same mobo and AIO which is the main reason I didn't want to move cases and have to rebuy more parts!
I travel 4 months out of the year for work. Hotel to hotel type of thing. I got tired of just playing my switch and Xbox one S. So I decided to rebuild my desktop in this exact case and travel with it. It’s amazing and scary having my main rig with me. It’s very high end (sort of, 3080 and a 7800X3D. I was one of the lucky ones that snagged a 3080 for retail a week after launch.) I thought about just investing into a really good laptop but just couldn’t accept the price to performance compared to my desktop and I already had 2 really nice 144hz portable monitors. Once I got home the laptop would just become a paper weight anyway.
For the Wi-Fi, it's actually a m.2 form factor card on a pcie adapter with antennas. Just install in the extra m.2 slot on the MB with an external antenna. All good.
I’m literally in this same boat myself, wanting to downsize to save some desk space, I have a Montech case that’s almost identical to the 4000D in terms of size. I’m running a more “entry level” setup with a 12600K & a 3060.
Wish I had seen this literally two days again when I began ordering all the pieces to build a new PC for my living room when neither ATX sized tower I had would fit. Ended up getting a Thermaltake Core V21 case to fit the space I needed but this case would have worked much better.
Definitely same case here: I had to buy a pc on a bundle due shortage, and it comes with a huge inconvenient flashy RGB light case that I don't like, and I want to compress everything to something smaller and discrete.!
People think mini or micro ATX is very simple when in fact it causes headaches, component prices are more expensive and temperatures increase. Before you know it, you'll start to admire the engineers behind gaming laptops
I just built my own case from scratch. Its much smaller but the way its laid out i have much better air flow. My cpu temps have dropped 5°c with the exact same fans, board and everything.
Just what I needed. I have a prebuilt with a 2070s and an i79700k. I still think the performance is fine but the size is huge. Going itx meant needing to get a itx motherboard which meant getting a new processor too since I’m finding it hard to find one for the i7 that’s reasonably price. I was honestly just gonna give up and start fresh but now I can get this with a power supply and be good
ive got an h510 elite i upgraded to from my h510, cool looking case but i built it before i matured and started liking more minimal builds, love challenging pc builds! hopefully this will be a good option for me, thanks for the great vid bro!
Companies keep making stuff smaller and faster, but we really need innovations in cable management. There's just too many darn cables to deal with when building PC's, and shoving things into a micro-ATX or mini-ITX just makes it painfully obvious.
Really slick design, I really enjoy basic minimal computers, I currently have a matx in a SAMA IM01 case, which looks similar but larger. I was originally going to just use a ryzen 5700g without a dedicated graphics card, and make a custom small aluminum case for it, but got a good deal on a 3060 12gb. I'd really like a smaller computer still, this one is great, but having less stuff is a real asset to my existence, but it is nice to have smaller lighter possessions to reduce overall foot print but have the same utility capacity. I think we are still about 5-10 years away from affordable micro computers, but it's great to see things headed in that direction when considering what computers looked like 20 years ago.
Such a better looking case. I just made the same transition from a MASSIVE ATX case to a naked/sandwich ITX case (Xtia Xproto ATX) will an ATX Motherboard. Love it so, SO much more than I did my old one. Get to see all my components too.
Was so close to buying this case, then I started noticing a LOT of reviews noting how the feet are not balanced, sides being bent upon arrival, and various quality control issues. Sad because the case seemed like a winner for me. But after watching this video, I see see where the negative remarks derived from.
I put a barrier between my GPU and AIO radiator to help keep a "hot" side and "cold" side. I tested it out with cardboard, but I'm going to use a sheet of plastic. It's flush with the side panel to help create separate compartments.
I'm gonna build a pc soon so I went to learn by watching videos. I would say I'm not gonna build something like this, but still this is very interesting to watch and learn!
Thanks for making this, I'm currently considering this exact project. Bought a prebuilt during the pandemic as the only way to get a RTX 3080 without paying a scalper (I tried for months with stock monitoring tools and channels) and it's an Alienware PC, it's not bad but not great. Case size is definitely too big with tons of wasted plastic and water cooling is not impressive but then again I haven't been impressed by AIO water cooling yet anyway. I'm building a new PC for my living room gaming and VR and I want to bring my Alienware PC up to my room but not in that huge ass bulky case. Your case suggestion looks ideal.
Yeah if it’s dell alienwear the motherboard is so ristricting you better off just moving the gpu and replacing everything else depending on your ram and cpu if it’s good enough yk? When I was in your same exact boat I only cared for a good gpu in the pre build bc I knew I’d eventually build my own
Good idea, although I'm a little bit concerned about thermals and how all the devices are generating so much heat and are so close together... I don't think 2/3 degrees is accurate... but it also depends on what you're doing with the system... Thanks for sharing!
SF750 for a RTX 3080 and 10850K is extremely ill-advised. That power supply will guaranteed explode because SFF power supplies are just not robust enough to handle the 3080's transient loads, just hope it doesn't take any other components with it. I'm speaking from experience, you need to overspec the power supply to at last 1000W.
This is sick my man..I really like it. I've considered buying one of those Corsair PREb's before. And I've also considered an ITX build myself. I've done neither lol...Been running my HP Omen for 5yrs now (8700/2080) as it's been perfect for 1440p/90fps. Just now it's beginning to show some age. Ive recently put a 4070 in it, and to my surprise its not a bottleneck beast. It's pretty well utilized. But it's got me thinking of new builds etc. Great vid.
Nice sponsored video. But I prefer cases without riser, since they make problems very often. I prefer the NR200P or the cheaper µATX cousin Sama IM01. Or you could go with the bigger Asus AP201. All 3 cases don't use riser, can fit a 4090FE and an AIO. And they are more then 50% cheaper.
Hey Devyn, I like the build and want to do this myself! I have a question though; what length is the Riser cable you used? Because I will also be building in it with an ATX mobo and am afraid my current riser (280mm) is not going to be long enough.
thank you so much for this video! ive been trying to find something like this because i really want an itx build but dont have the funds to completely upgrade everything and I only have ATX parts! this is a clutch video and im definitely buying this case

This is exactly where my thought process was, a case that is litterally the bare bones chassis and covers to fit all the components in.
You did a great job here, I tried this and did not enjoy it at all. The best ITX case, but I wouldn't do ATX in it again
Thanks so much, I appreciate it! Big fan of your channel

seeing a micro atx in a tiny case like this, makes me smile all day long.

dB perception is logarithmic. That means "2 or so" dB is actually perceived by the ear as "almost double", as the "loudness" doubles every 3 dB.
This is literally what iwant to do. My case gets delivered on Tuesday I'm hype. Love your work bro.

i was wondering what the price of the itx case, its currently unavailable and all I see it online for is $200+.
Those longs cables will effect air flow, while very slight every bit helps with this form factor.
Companies keep making stuff smaller and faster, but we really need innovations in cable management. There's just too many darn cables to deal with when building PC's, and shoving things into a micro-ATX or mini-ITX just makes it painfully obvious.

Such a better looking case. I just made the same transition from a MASSIVE ATX case to a naked/sandwich ITX case (Xtia Xproto ATX) will an ATX Motherboard. Love it so, SO much more than I did my old one. Get to see all my components too.
Probably the best SFF case out there IMO. I have the predecessor to this, Meshlicious, and it's a great case.
Was so close to buying this case, then I started noticing a LOT of reviews noting how the feet are not balanced, sides being bent upon arrival, and various quality control issues.
Sad because the case seemed like a winner for me. But after watching this video, I see see where the negative remarks derived from.
Awesome stuff, man. Wish I saw this video before I built in my H1!
I put a barrier between my GPU and AIO radiator to help keep a "hot" side and "cold" side. I tested it out with cardboard, but I'm going to use a sheet of plastic. It's flush with the side panel to help create separate compartments.
I'm gonna build a pc soon so I went to learn by watching videos. I would say I'm not gonna build something like this, but still this is very interesting to watch and learn!
Been loving your content man, keep it up!
Thanks for making this, I'm currently considering this exact project. Bought a prebuilt during the pandemic as the only way to get a RTX 3080 without paying a scalper (I tried for months with stock monitoring tools and channels) and it's an Alienware PC, it's not bad but not great. Case size is definitely too big with tons of wasted plastic and water cooling is not impressive but then again I haven't been impressed by AIO water cooling yet anyway. I'm building a new PC for my living room gaming and VR and I want to bring my Alienware PC up to my room but not in that huge ass bulky case. Your case suggestion looks ideal.
The motherboard is limiting it too if you got a higher end AMD cpu fyi
Yeah if it’s dell alienwear the motherboard is so ristricting you better off just moving the gpu and replacing everything else depending on your ram and cpu if it’s good enough yk? When I was in your same exact boat I only cared for a good gpu in the pre build bc I knew I’d eventually build my own
Good idea, although I'm a little bit concerned about thermals and how all the devices are generating so much heat and are so close together... I don't think 2/3 degrees is accurate... but it also depends on what you're doing with the system... Thanks for sharing!
SF750 for a RTX 3080 and 10850K is extremely ill-advised. That power supply will guaranteed explode because SFF power supplies are just not robust enough to handle the 3080's transient loads, just hope it doesn't take any other components with it. I'm speaking from experience, you need to overspec the power supply to at last 1000W.
That riser cable really draws a lot of attention. Please do something about it. :D
This is sick my man..I really like it. I've considered buying one of those Corsair PREb's before. And I've also considered an ITX build myself. I've done neither lol...Been running my HP Omen for 5yrs now (8700/2080) as it's been perfect for 1440p/90fps. Just now it's beginning to show some age. Ive recently put a 4070 in it, and to my surprise its not a bottleneck beast. It's pretty well utilized. But it's got me thinking of new builds etc. Great vid.
Msi z490a-pro, rtx 3080, 10th gen intel, all the parts i have right now inside my main pc! This video is too tempting
Dude I've been looking for something like this case! Great video and will def check it out!
this is the minimalist build I want thank you for sharing, Subscribed
We have similar minimalist tastes. Also nice husky/Siberian big boy (malamute), can’t tell.
Nice sponsored video. But I prefer cases without riser, since they make problems very often. I prefer the NR200P or the cheaper µATX cousin Sama IM01. Or you could go with the bigger Asus AP201. All 3 cases don't use riser, can fit a 4090FE and an AIO. And they are more then 50% cheaper.
Would love to do this with my ATX build but I also have a capture card 🤔
The meshlicious is such a godlike case
A perfect repurpose build walkthrough.
Hey Devyn, I like the build and want to do this myself! I have a question though; what length is the Riser cable you used? Because I will also be building in it with an ATX mobo and am afraid my current riser (280mm) is not going to be long enough.
According to the ssupd website for the case you should be able to get a riser that can fold into the 90 degree bend to route it under the mb.
Thats a nice toasterbox , the airflow has improved drastically i guess♨
That is one of the cleanest prebuilt I've seen lol
Wow. Never heard of this case before. Looks super cool.
thank you so much for this video! ive been trying to find something like this because i really want an itx build but dont have the funds to completely upgrade everything and I only have ATX parts! this is a clutch video and im definitely buying this case
