    So today i got the Alphacool parts for the system :) Or atleast some of them :) so we did get some work done! This system is for my woman so its obvious that she helps build it :) she mounted the waterblocks on the motherboard and RAM and installed the Radiators in the system.

    More is coming up tommorow :)

    Great work, mATX in a Manta is inspired - it's TOO big for ITX.

    Surprised to that with its clothes off, the Manta is a regular cuboid case :lol:

    Looking forward to see where this is going; like the X99 including cheeky m.2 action with watercooling to follow.

    Thank u :) This case just should have been made for a M-ATX to start with!

    And yes the inside is a bit cheap :)

    NZXT make a number of fantastic looking cases with this method! Quite unique as a manufacturer in doing that though I think. My current case is an NZXT M59 which is actually a simple 'box' but the exact same insides are used in a number of different cases, and it's been excellent tbh!
