*almost* had a Geeek A50 but decided to back off once discovered that the case was full acrylic sweat.gif

I would still be okay if only the panes are acrylic, and the internal chassis is metal
now just settling down with Raijintek Ophion Evo

re-oriented the pump to ease off the stretch of the tubes, and also making the Cooler Master logo upright brows.gif

also, ignore the silver ATX to SFX adapter haha

The extruded aluminium frame is sturdy enough to hold those hardware.. ophion is too big for my liking and a bit expensive.

BTW Taobao SFF case oso gooding. aluminium build with tempered glass panel similar to DAN A4 case.

I need to travel for work and I'll be there for a while so I'm thinking of building an SFF to bring along with me.

What case should I build in if I want to hand carry it? I'm thinking the GEEEK A50, knowing that its smaller in volume than the Node 202 although it is made of plastic and I might crack the acrylic window while traveling.

go for smaller case with flex psu and metal structure such as Metalfish S3. easily can fit in backpack. but have to compromise on the gpu length. itx gpu should be fine such as zotac mini, msi aero itx and gigabyte mini.

That case looks great and I have taken a look at it before but flex psus make me nervous mostly because I dont know much about them and I dont see them listed in any store's pricelist.

Do you have any tips on how to make sure I get a good flex psu model?

mostly from china and available via shopee or taobao. hard to find those in local stores. 80 plus rating should be just fine.

you can try funkydory store at shopee.

Any reason to go for Greek a50 over the k55?

They look about the same size and build quality.

i dont think the build quality is the same. fully metal vs aluminum frame and acrylic. even my jonsbo u1 plus is better quality compared to the A50.

but A50 looks good in picture. brows.gif

Wasn't getting any replies in my original post in another thread, so I thought maybe this would be the better thread to ask my question.

I'm building an SFF rig and is contemplating which CPU cooler to buy. I'm using an RVZ03 casing and has a limitation of 83mm height for the cooler. Any recommendation on which 120mm AIO cooler to go with? Was leaning towards the Corsair H60 (2018) but I'm not sure of the z-height of its Pump Head. My guess is that it will have just enough clearance though I'm not sure, hence my post below in the other thread.

Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

current setup? any reason to go with 120mm aio?

btw, cryorig c7 or low profile noctua cooler is better compared to stock cooler.
