Currently rocking a Densium 4 v2 with still a considerable amount of space due to it being an apu build. Moved here after a year or two with the Ghost S1.

I really like this, the wood looks nice and the side panel is nice too. Got more pics? Make a post of your own. :)
NR200!
I just installed a 3080 from /r/hws yesterday night.
Running it deshrouded with Arctic P12s as intake/case fans underneath.
I have the NR200 too, would you recommend the additional bottom fans? Did you notice gpu temp/noise improvement?
My build is based off the advice in the M&M NR200 series: on youtube
Since you have a FE card with the 'flow through' fan design, I think you'd get some benefit out of assisted intake from bottom fans.
To get a noise reduction, you'd probably have to set up a fan curve for the GPU in afterburner and the intakes using FanControl or similar.
For my own build, I've always had a deshroud on my GPUs, so I don't really have a comparison for temp/noise.
My 3080 games around 65C with decent noise (though inaudible with earbuds in).
Thank you for sharing your experience. I already undervolted my GPU a bit and played with the fan curve but the FE can get LOUD.
This is neat! You got more pictures of it from other sides? What's in it?
Also, what's HWS? Is it hardware exchange? Do I need to make that here? 😋
I assume they’re referring to Hardware Swap.
Here's a bunch of pics from when I was cleaning it earlier in the week
The GPU in the photos is a gtx1080 with Arctic's aftermarket gpu cooler (deshrouded)

I built my first SFFPC a few months ago. I went with the Phanteks Evolv Shift Air 2. Not the smallest but it's interesting looking and I got it extremely cheap.
It was a simple build and good intro into the SFFPC format.
The Fractal Terra ITX case looks amazing though as an retrospective alternative.
I have a home server running in a Fractal Node 304, that thing is still incredible so many years after its release. I got 6 HDDs, 2 SATA SSDs (with room for 2 more) and 2 NVME SSDs in it.
I'm also looking at cases to make a PC for the living room and I'm considering the NZXT H1, DAN ARH2O, Fractal Ridge and Fractal Terra. Any thoughts?
That's a pretty beefy NAS. I got a plex server with 8x 14TB HDDs. Yours is smaller though. :)
I got two at the moment. Pretty much mostly 2nd hand builds excepting the odd ssd and the gpus. The crypto boom was great for offloading my old Vega 64 and 5700xt

Yes I need to sort out my storage habits but I'm definitely going to play that steam game I downloaded 2 years ago any day now lol
In an NZXT H1v1 right now. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the FF01 because my case is hot, too hot. My 6800xt will sometimes break 100C. Me no likey. The new Terra looks pretty sweet too but it looks like aside from passive ventilation, cooling potential in it is fairly limited.
NCase M1 v5 silver! I wanted to get the new Dan case but it went out of stock.
Dan C4 sfx in my current NCase M1 in my previous
Currently the Meshlicious. My first SFF case was SG13, then Nouvolo Speck - that one was hot.
Ooo. That's a really really good case. Very popular.
SKTC S02, that's my first smol case.
Got a pic? :)
