Build Description

this was an absolute joy to build. It could fit a 4080 eagle oc no problem. I opted for a vertical mount to utilize 140mm fans mounted on the side panel, but this is only advisable on this mesh variant. I think brown industrial noctua fans complements the front wooden aesthetic, and they perform well. The icegiant cooler with the 7700x works wonders too.

I bought the Phanteks vertical mount and returned it for this Antec one because it's way sturdier. The Phanteks vertical mount was more expensive, and it was super flimsy.

it was either this or a sata drive for regular storage and a game drive. Since I got it on sale, this was a better deal.

loud but purchased 2 of these for the side mount. I think it goes great with the black and wooden mesh case.
