Compact king

Build Description

Meant for lite gaming and work station. Wanted something that could fit a small desk without feeling cramped, as well as not being an eyesore.

Favorite Feature

Reasonable cooling considering the hardware. I am able to provide adequate cooling for an rtx 3080 and intel 13600k. This is all with a tiny air cooler in the idcooling is-55. 140 mm fractal fans were replaced with 120mm aurora darkflash with fan controller. Dust filters were applied to them. 2 80mm bequiet fans were attached to the top, as well as one in the front of the mesh panel which was done using magnetic screws. There are all pwm and I am able to control them via fan controller. The 120s can be monitored easily by removing the magnetic front panel and accessing the controller.
