>using closed box to house components which need active cooling >using ATX mobos when ITX are available
Why do people still use big-ass towers with case fans? Unless you are server-rack tier or similar user it just doesn't make any sense. Open ITX cases are the shit.
Where do I plug in my pre-order founders edition 2080ti?

It's like you're not even trying.

It's amazing how much more quiet my computer is when its not in a case.
Try it for yourselves, just put your computer on the table without a case. Shit's gonna be 5600% more quiet.
My theory is that the fan grills introduce a shitload of turbulence which then translates into more sound or something. I don't have a PHD in aerodynamic thermals

>>what is aesthetics? you really live up to your pic related.

Enjoying the 900 dba sfx psu and gpu?
Xavier Gomez
if you care about noise run your computer in other room and run cable thru hole in wall or stream it to a 2.50$ steamlink.
all computers are noisy picking good thermals and small is optimal choices.
Ryder Morales
that's not a sfx gpu
why not build a case the size of a external laptop gpu?
I found a case the size as the ghost for 60$ found a 495w server psu x2 of them is 60$ and if i open them up and put at 120mm fan on them its basically sfx sized. can get ITX mobo that can run 9900k for 60$
was going to buy a new psu any way so its like a 100$ to go 8L SFF for me.
Chase Taylor
this is the gpu in that ghost s1 pic its already oversized and runs cool and quite.
No it certianly isnt. Despite its size its still one of the loudest 1080ti's on the market.
I wouldnt build a small pc because 99% of the time its under my desk. I wont have a loud pc because its slightly easier to move
Jaxson Bennett
whats your logic that SFX is louder?
gpu in a ghost case would have better airflow than in a case with a glass window or side panel with no vents.
and cpu wise you realise the SFX cpu coolers have welded fins and perform way better than 50$ big tower coolers but cost the same?
making a 8L SFX doesn't make your computer louder.. maybe if you start using MINI cards or nano gpus yes it does but at that point your at under 4L which is laptop size and of course laptops are shrill and loud.
not saying your a idiot for using ATX but if you could make your computer 10x smaller for 100$ why wouldn't you if it performed and sounded the same?
Carson Richardson
This. Any other answer is gay, including my own.

The real case is a fish tank filled with oil. Quiet, Superior cooling, can make fries

I have 4x8GB DDR4, find me a ryzen itx motherboard with 4 dimm-slots

don't think any exist sell your ram 32gig is a akward amount way too much for gaming but not enough for productivity.
Carter White
I once was live with an open mATX case (made of plywood), it was horrible. ATX is the real answer.
still might run a little hotter ghost do lie in their documentation and benchmarks they said their "expensive pci riser cable" increased their min fps in one game by 10fps from using no cable. but I don't expect it to be huge increase in temp not enough to make things throttle but maybe limit some OC.
Liam King
>"expensive pci riser cable" increased their min fps in one game by 10fps
nope as in not effect overclocking or no overclocking even possible?
Carson Jones
yer after reading that I decided to not buy a ghost. got a 60$ case from china made with same cad documents and going to get a 2$ riser cable off ebay.
instead of 300$ ghost s1.
Oliver Peterson
Open builds suck in more dust and are louder, although they are relatively cooler if your build does not rely on channeled airflow
Jose Watson
not true at all main reason case gets dusty is air getting trapped in side open builds suck in the least amount of dust.
