Final tweaks after coming back to a mid-tower after years of SFF builds.

Specs at the bottom.

Decided to jump back to an ATX build after being exclusively SFF for the last several years. Just kind of got tired of how annoying doing anything inside my system got with ITX cases. I forgot how easy building in a mid-tower was.

Originally I had migrated my 240mm AIO over to this case but noticed I had some resonant whine coming from the pump, so I swapped to this 280mm unit and it solved it.

I looked for some GPU support options that would work in this case, but couldn’t find anything that was really ideal. Given the air scoop at the front for the bottom fan, it didn’t really allow for any kind of threaded stand like you find on Amazon. Ultimately I decided to model and print my own that mounts via the front fan mounting rails. All I needed was a couple of longer fan screws.

Temperatures while gaming are insanely good and the system is inaudible under load.

Hello there.

Local is 55309. Please comment before PM. I may be willing to work out bundle shipping for multiple items purchased, at my discretion. I will not take the local cash price when shipping, so please don’t ask.

NCase M3 Grater Silver w/ many extras- This case was purchased on May 7th, built in and then I decided I just wanted to go back to a mid-tower instead (I think I need help). The case has been built in exactly once. The case is in excellent condition, and includes all original hardware/accessories, and box. I went all out when I purchased it and got most of the add ons. Bundle contents below. Asking $370 shipped, or $350 local cash.

- NCase M3 Grater, Silver
- M3 Glass Window Kit
- M3 Vertical GPU Kit w/ PCIe 5.0 Riser Cable
- 15mm Case Feet
- Rear I/O Cover

TeamGroup TCreate Expert DDR5 RAM, 48GB/6400MHz/C32- This kit was purchased last year, but I decided I wanted an RGB kit for my newest build. This was run with EXPO and never gave me any problems with my 9800X3D. Compatible with both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP. Asking $380 shipped, or $370 local cash. EDIT: Sold to u/kloakndaggers

Corsair SF1000 Platinum SFX PSU- This was purchased in January 2026, and has seen a couple of builds. I used custom cables in each of them, so all of the included cables are brand new and unused. Added bonus is this is the revised 2025 model with a black fan instead of the grey fan. PSU is in excellent condition, and includes all original cables, and accessories. Asking $160 shipped, or $150 local cash.

Noctua NH-D12L Chromax Low Profile CPU Cooler w/ extra NF-A12x25r Chromax fan- I purchased this for a build in the NCase M2 last year. Maybe saw 2 months of use and was then boxed back up when I swapped to an AIO. Cooled my 9800X3D without issue. Compatible with both AMD and Intel. Includes the offset mounting hardware for AM4/5, and I’m also including a special order Noctua NF-A12x25r Chromax fan to run in a dual fan setup ($35 value retail). The cooler is like brand new. Includes all original hardware, and box/documentation. Asking $120 shipped, or $110 local cash.

Assorted PC Case Fans- I have an assortment of PC case fans that I’ve collected over the last couple of years for different builds. However, they’ve lately just been in storage and I’m slowing down on PC stuff. List is below of what I’ve got on hand and the prices for them. Shipping for the fans will be calculated based on what you purchase.

All fans are like new and include all of the original accessories, and boxes.

4x Noctua NF-A12x15 Chromax - $20 each
1x Noctua NF-A9 Chromax - $15 each
1x Noctua NF-A9x14 Chromax - $15 each
2x Lian Li UNI Fan AL 140 V2 - $25 each
