Mini-ITX literally fits in the palm of your hand (sort of)

re-used Mrs BCB's old SSD

the fan protrudes a fraction 2 much

I'll have to take that top shroud off the fan and do a few mods

the side panel does have a dish but it misses by a couple of mm

fired it up and the hardware recognized the old drive and booted straight to it

haven't even gone into the BIOS yet to setup anything!

Cat is totally unimpressed

I'm now an AMD fan boy :roflmbo:

took the fan off to mod it to fit inside the case

turned it over and spied a small screw

undid it and hey presto the top part of the fan shroud un-clips from the bottom :buttrock:

fan now fits in the case

did some cable cramming 

now all done and dusted :thumbsup:

FFS the AMD waterblock bracket only gets here next week Wednesday, which is fly out day for me.

I will not be here when it arrives. I am so Annoyed at EKWB right now.

I tried to get the AMD GPU into the case, but there was an issue. see if you can spot the problem???

Can you unmount the reservoir to let it fit while you play?
