4:25 For those who are interested, W360, one of the founders of formd, released V2.5 after splitting from co-founder 3FC. 3FC kept the original production line and continues to sell V2.1 through formdt1, while V2.5 is sold under ncase. The V2.5 uses a single type of screw for easier installation but is otherwise similar to V2.1. Although I don't have personal experience with the V2.5, the general consensus on the SFF Discord suggest V2.5's build quality is inferior. Due to W360's questionable handling of the breakup and the reportedly better build quality I'd personally recommend the V2.1
@@igniscogitare5413 yeah for sure, and the whole thing where he wanted to disband the company before they split up yet announced partnership with ncase immediately after they split felt very shady
I just found out about the drama but I had already ordered the ncase version since if you google the formd t1 the ncase site is pretty much the first hit. I had no idea there were two companies. Should have done a little more research.
Optimum has been my go-to for the best sffpc builds and reviews, until now. He's still great, but he's kinda branched out into a lot of other stuff. Very happy to find this channel so satisfy my sffpc obsession!! 😅
Recently completed a build with Terra Fractal (Jade color), and absolutely love it. It's a good center piece for me and my gf's office/game room and it really catches the eye very well. Love that case, and will keep as a starting point for all upgrades in the future!
What makes you pick it up over the FormD T1? I know they are different sizes and serve different purposes, but if you could only pick one. I can't decide on my next case and need all the insight I can get. Right now, I'm deciding between the Form T1, M2, and the NanoQ S/R.
4:02 Ok so the FormD T1 V1 was the first to market with an adjustable center spine with 2 fixed positions (2 slot vs 3 slot GPU). For *freely* adjustable spine, technically the Jimu D+ V2 was first to market (it should be noted the D+ V1 was a FormD T1 V1 clone), though W360 had clearly also been working with a freely adjustable spine in the T1 V2 before the Jimu D+ V2 hit the market.
I also really like the Meshroom, used it with my spare parts and put in a full ATX and 3070 ti with a radiator. I like it so much more than my main PC which is in a Lian Li O11 Air
Although it's on the larger side of SFF, this case is not expensive to build on since you don't have to spend on riser cable and sfx PSU* (unless you use a large GPU). The only itx tax is the itx motherboard.
They were heavily discounted in Canada after the sanction news in the US broke out, and there were some insane deals on deepcool stuffs like 50-60% off or something on that case. Was a banger value.
I recommend the ssupd meshroom D instead of the S. You can get away with a noctua cooler, with 4 slim 120 fans. Found the horizontal D to have better thermals than the Vertical S.
I love the ncore 100 max after replacing the stock fans (incl psu fan). Upgradability’s there, esp w/ 4 slot GPU support & personally prefer the vertical design for a smaller footprint.
can just agree, got one myself i had a problem with the psu fan always spinning, had to rma it, but other than that, i freaking love it. i got mine for 320€ that's tax incl.
I've received the final version of the NANOQ R case from THOR ZONE today and from first impressions it is a really high quality and sturdy case. Planning to build on it tomorrow.
Wondering the same thing. I hope he is not refering to a heavily overclocked RTX 4000 SFF Ada. (Very similar core to a 4070, but comes much lower clocked with a $1250 pricetag.)
nanoq is killin it. The first moment i saw it, i said to myself that the ultimate sff should be it. Phenomenal aesthetics with eye catchy colors and shade, build quality to attention to detail for components just top notch.
Just got my Thorzone NANOQ S in the mail. Despite how beautiful and well made it is, I just cannot tear apart my eWhite FormD T1. It’s so highly recommended for a reason.
i have the A4-H2O and I’m looking to change. It’s a beautiful build but the lack of clearance for most AIO’s (due to how MoBo companies designed the heatsinks on sff motherboards) makes it a headache to upgrade components.
I switched from an mATX to an ITX build. I got the CH160 because I could only afford to change out the case and the motherboard if I had some extra cash I would get a smaller case.
Just now seeing this video. But to answer the question at 3:54, GEEEK is another SFF case company to have an adjustable center piece. Their GEEEK G1 does this exceptionally and is a beautiful case for $129 with a 3.0 riser and $149 with a 4.0 riser
I really like the Ncase m2 from what I've seen. It's slightly larger than the T1 and the Terra, which allows for easier configuration and larger CPU coolers; while still remaining very small.
Dan A4H20, hated building in that thing. Hard time getting the radiator pipes past the PSU/RAM. New favorite is the Velka 5 rev 3. 4070 super plus 5800x3d. EZ mode build
I had it and I sold cause my PCH and memory were hot too much for me without any cooling. I had 240 AIO on top. This case would be much better with ability to install 2x 120mm coolers to the bottom.
nr200, i managed to get 2x 240mm radiators in that case with 3d printing and i quite liked that case, cable managment could be better in that case in my opinion
Currently still rocking my q58, but as soon as fractal comes with a bigger Terra that supports a 280mm rad, I'm switching to that. Love the design of the terra, just wish it was a little bit taller.
For me, the formD t1 is my favorite case to build in. The possibilities of parts, aesthetics and modulability are impressive for a sub 10L case. I was looking forward to louqe’s new ghost R1, but i was disappointed when i saw machines & more pre-production review of it.
Ahh the FORMD looks amazing :O my current system is on a machined aluminium testbench and I love the aesthetic everything is so precise and chamfered so when I build my next machine it would match the aesthetic! Only thing is the top panel looks really boring with otholinear ventilation holes, like if everything is being CNC'd just program offset patters and maybe use slightly different drill sizes in various passes and get like a really interesting organic but perfectly tesselating hole pattern would up the visual appear a notch or two
It's good to see a different sff yt creator. Since as someone said. Optimum just focused on something else now. I just find it funny when you say graphic card and not graphics card 😂. One thing is for sure. Your terra build makes me wanna build one, converting my lian li 011 dynamic case build into an sff since I've had that thing since release.
I wish one of your KXRORS builds made it in here. Your Lunchbox videos are why I bought the S400 (which is now discontinued to make room for the S450 which is the same case but with a second USB 3 port).
I wish I had the know how on fitting my 4080 into a small form factor case, I would much prefer a form factor but im guessing the cooling won't be as good but im not sure
hot take here, i'd love a wider t1 to accomodate the 3 slot mode and good cpu coolers at the same time (say, 70mm or so, enough for black ridge with a 15mm fan on top). It would be a bit larger but make complete sense, and people would buy it if they wanna only air cool imo.
This is a great video, as always. I love this channel, and I'm always excited to see new videos. The original NR200 is my personal favourite. I prefer air cooling, and the original NR200 can accommodate a big enough air cooler for most current CPUs and can accommodate large GPUs. I have been using the NR200 for a while. I also have the original FormD T1 reference version. I don't think that version is available anymore, but it's a great case. It can accommodate quite large air coolers like the Noctua C14S, which is more than large enough for most modern AMD CPUs, and it can easily house a decent GPU like an FE 4070. I can't believe the T1 reference isn't available anymore. With modern low-power CPUs, it is the best solution for SFF, in my opinion. Especially with the newer and even more power-efficient AMD 9000 series CPUs. Intel? Don't even go there ;)
Can you do a video about noise levels and undervolting settings among the best cases? I am anxious to downsize do to added heat and noise or losing performance by undervolting to keep temps in check.
Anyone can awnser me if worth to get a NR200p MAX or the NR200p MAX V2. there's like a 40 euro difference between the 2 but I only see that the most significant addition is the ATX 3.0 psu
5:43 "Back Pain" Get up and stretch. Sitting posture has absolutely no connection with back pain, slouch, curl into a ball, whatever, sitting perfectly straight for hours on end is just as bad. Get up and stretch.
I'm really interrested in a really small case and those two 4-ish litre cases almost fit the bill ... just except for one thing: they have super-lacking front IO and I would like one USB-A + one USB-C and a headphone jack. *Then* I'd be happy.
I tried the ATX build in the SSUPD Meshroom S and it was a nightmare. Had a really hard time finding the right length GPU riser cable, then I realized they didn’t include the standoffs needed for my height of GPU, and then I learned my GPU was actually too wide. Would not recommend.
So far, I'm loving my Shiny Snake/KXRORS G200. It's basically the OG CH160 but at a size closer to the NCase M1. The only problems I have with it are the lacking front I/O options (I want a 2nd USB-A port) and the limited compatibility with GPUs now and in the future.
The s400 is great but theres so much lost potentional in that case. If the t1 was a bit longer to accommodate 336mm gpus then the t1 would be hands down the best sff case
nr200p max v2 is good but expensive , got it at 500 usd , it come preinstalled with a 280 m aio , 850 atx3 cooler master psu and the pcie gen4 riser cable ( even tho mine says gen5 somehow )
@@devyn.johnston I’m looking to build a new PC in a long time. I know I want an open case config. Would love to know your opinions on the one that you worked on. Thank you for the great videos keep up the good work
My new favorite is the Dan A3 mATX. It’s not technically SFF, but it’s so easy to build in and has massive radiator support. I’m actually able to properly cool a Core i9-14900K in this case
can you tried to find a case that use that 4060 LP GPU with a case that more vertical like Fractal Ridge but the width only 60mm so it fit in the bagpack but also you can put other thing like book in the bagpack. GemCase C9 and the 5-liter mini A24-V5 case both are very good and easy to put in bagpack but still a little to thick on the width hoped you can make a video about a small width case but still able to put a 4060 LP
I just want to point one thingtoSFF community and maybe, hopefully, manufacturers will get it too. No matter how clean we want it, dont take our front (or near front, top, side etc) IO, weneed those handy usb-c (and A for a few more years Iguess) ports near us. I often use external ssds or thumbdrives for transfering files to a friend, or charging my phone eventually etc. and reaching the back of it daily, routinely, kinda kills the vibe.
I have fit full ATX mobo, 4090 and 10G NIC card in Meshroom S. I've used second 4x riser cable and routed it alongside main one for the GPU. Fixed the 2nd riser slot to the first one using extra standoff that came with the case.

My new favorite is the Dan A3 mATX. It’s not technically SFF, but it’s so easy to build in and has massive radiator support. I’m actually able to properly cool a Core i9-14900K in this case
What about Temps?
can you tried to find a case that use that 4060 LP GPU with a case that more vertical like Fractal Ridge but the width only 60mm so it fit in the bagpack but also you can put other thing like book in the bagpack. GemCase C9 and the 5-liter mini A24-V5 case both are very good and easy to put in bagpack but still a little to thick on the width hoped you can make a video about a small width case but still able to put a 4060 LP
why is the radiator the bottom? You're asking to kill your pump
the best ssf case has to go tio the phanteks evolve shift xt
You should try the McPrue Apollo S and SE 😊
I'm curious why the Streacom DA6 didn't make the list. It seemed like you really enjoyed that case.
I just want to point one thingtoSFF community and maybe, hopefully, manufacturers will get it too.
No matter how clean we want it, dont take our front (or near front, top, side etc) IO, weneed those handy usb-c (and A for a few more years Iguess) ports near us. I often use external ssds or thumbdrives for transfering files to a friend, or charging my phone eventually etc. and reaching the back of it daily, routinely, kinda kills the vibe.
Thank you for not hyping cases that they dont make.
I have fit full ATX mobo, 4090 and 10G NIC card in Meshroom S. I've used second 4x riser cable and routed it alongside main one for the GPU. Fixed the 2nd riser slot to the first one using extra standoff that came with the case.
missed out on the lunchbox category - kxrors s300
