A perfect repurpose build walkthrough. No Streamer bloat to lengthen the time. You make me feel like doing the same thing with the old parts that I have from my old system that's still sitting in a box right now.

I know there were a lot of people in the same boat as you and ended up with a pre-built in order to get a 30 series GPU and this is a great way to re-use a majority of the parts.

Good idea for a video: downsizing with almost no new components. It's an intermediate step for people that are curious about small form factor (SFF) computers.

I build mini itx rigs for years now seeing a micro atx in a tiny case like this, makes me smile all day long. good job mate

That is absolutely brilliant. Super well designed case, and the parts you had in the prebuilt transitioned perfectly.

I love it, as someone who went from building mid-atx builds to sff, the whole attraction to SFF was the lack of un-used space. This is exactly where my thought process was, a case that is litterally the bare bones chassis and covers to fit all the components in.

You did a great job here, I tried this and did not enjoy it at all. The best ITX case, but I wouldn't do ATX in it again

On another note: There is a lot of mods and guides available for the Meshi, which also apply to most of the Meshroom S, too, including the standoff mod (either MB or GPU), that allows for better cable management.

would've been nice if temps were shown before and after

What a great idea, never seen a build like this in this case, I agree definitely using an itx motherboard, would love to see more temps and benchmarks in gaming!

Devyn, you’re going to make it big. I don’t comment at all but you definitely deserve the praise.

never have i thought you could do an ATX motherboard in an itx case, good job on this one Devyn

Hey man, as a SFFPC enthusiast myself I just wanted to say that you've done an excellent job here. I just so happened to stumble across this video and the production quality, thoroughness and delivery were all super impressive. Keep up the great work!

great video. started pc journey with a prebuilt and now looking to downsize while trying to maximize component reuse. Thanks!!

This is phenomenal I have been watching a bunch of what you put out since I want to move into a small form factor for my "upgrade build' but this video is exactly what I need! I have the same mobo and AIO which is the main reason I didn't want to move cases and have to rebuy more parts!

I did this same thing with my kids old gigantic pc. Had to buy a sff power supply as well, but found out his 3060 ti will fit at the top horizontal location using a long pcie riser with one mm to spare. makes plugging in the display port plugs much easier.

Meshroom S is my favorite case. I just finished building mine with a custom watercooling loop 5800X3D and RTX 3080 founders edition along with and EK pump res combo and a 280mm radiator. It still amazes me all the options and stuff you can fit in this case! 😁

thank you for making a video thats straight to the point and in detail. hate it when people drag a video that can be a 5 mins to 30 mins and just talk nonsense. this is a great video

I've been loving your videos. Keep up the good work.

This is something I’ve been thinking about as I use my PC in the living room as well and couch game with controller. Currently have my an O11D Evo rig with a ton of stuff in it, so a lot will be compromised for downsizing. Thanks for sharing!

added to my watch later for when i move back to DC, my pc is HUGE , thanks for the info!

this is the minimalist build I want thank you for sharing, Subscribed

I think it looks very nice. Good job. As much as I like a smaller case I like having room to work around in so I guess I'll just be sticking with my mATX cases. But I think yours looks terrific.

Really slick design, I really enjoy basic minimal computers, I currently have a matx in a SAMA IM01 case, which looks similar but larger. I was originally going to just use a ryzen 5700g without a dedicated graphics card, and make a custom small aluminum case for it, but got a good deal on a 3060 12gb. I'd really like a smaller computer still, this one is great, but having less stuff is a real asset to my existence, but it is nice to have smaller lighter possessions to reduce overall foot print but have the same utility capacity. I think we are still about 5-10 years away from affordable micro computers, but it's great to see things headed in that direction when considering what computers looked like 20 years ago.

The meshlicious is definitely built better than the meshroom. Though, If I had an MATX board I would have gotten the meshroom too. The panels are a bit thicker and don't bend that easily on the meshlicious. I'm happy I got one before they ran out.

this case is exactly what i was looking for a few months ago but had no luck so ended up modding a g3 case to fit my needs

Cool. I was searching for the most compact mATX case lately, but this one might gonna be even better.

production value is amazing. can't believe you only have 28k subs!!! you deserve so many more!!!!

This video was perfect help for my situation, preciate you💯

Been loving your content man, keep it up!

According to the ssupd website for the case you should be able to get a riser that can fold into the 90 degree bend to route it under the mb.

ive got an h510 elite i upgraded to from my h510, cool looking case but i built it before i matured and started liking more minimal builds, love challenging pc builds! hopefully this will be a good option for me, thanks for the great vid bro!

Just what I needed. I have a prebuilt with a 2070s and an i79700k. I still think the performance is fine but the size is huge. Going itx meant needing to get a itx motherboard which meant getting a new processor too since I’m finding it hard to find one for the i7 that’s reasonably price. I was honestly just gonna give up and start fresh but now I can get this with a power supply and be good

thank you so much for this video! ive been trying to find something like this because i really want an itx build but dont have the funds to completely upgrade everything and I only have ATX parts! this is a clutch video and im definitely buying this case

This was the perfect video honestly, I've been wanting to do the same for about a year, great stuff man, its the first time I've seen an actual downsizing and not a "buy ITX"

In terms of "not being able to use PCIe slots": Have you tried using another riser cable? There are REALLY small ones. I bought one for my SAMA IM01 vertical mod, because the GPU was kinda blocking the lower PCIe 1x slot, rerouted the card to the lowest slot and that fixed the issue. OC, in the Meshi, you might have to become a bit creative, but if I can relocate my SFX-L PSU to the back and just use an SFX GPU, while managing to not break my fingers, you should be able to reposition a small WiFi card to a better place, too :)

Well done! Do you have any concerns about future builds considering the size trend in GPU's? or will you just get a whole new PC when the 50,60, etc series comes out?

I'm looking to do the exact same thing to an older PC I have lying around, my only concern is the graphics card fitment. So I noticed in the video you were able to fit an MSI RTX 3080 into the front GPU position in the Meshroom S. On the MSI website it says that card has 323x140x52 dimensions. The Meshroom S manual indicated the maximum GPU you could fit into it would be 335x120x76. So you were able to fit in the MSI RTX 3080 width wise without any fitment issues? This would indicate the Meshroom S manual is a bit conservative.

Awesome stuff, man. Wish I saw this video before I built in my H1!

Great Video. With this build are you able to fit two 3.5 hdd drives? Manufacturer's website has an image showing two installed. I'm trying to build a compact media server with parts I already have.

that's really impressive managing to reduce the overall footprint without compromising too much. A few degrees and some fan noise never really bothered me. I'm really considering something like this for the future! Nice work!

The pace and detail of your narration is exceptional

Hey Devyn, I like the build and want to do this myself! I have a question though; what length is the Riser cable you used? Because I will also be building in it with an ATX mobo and am afraid my current riser (280mm) is not going to be long enough.

Dude I've been looking for something like this case! Great video and will def check it out!

This is sick my man..I really like it. I've considered buying one of those Corsair PREb's before. And I've also considered an ITX build myself. I've done neither lol...Been running my HP Omen for 5yrs now (8700/2080) as it's been perfect for 1440p/90fps. Just now it's beginning to show some age. Ive recently put a 4070 in it, and to my surprise its not a bottleneck beast. It's pretty well utilized. But it's got me thinking of new builds etc. Great vid.

Thank you! I have similar build with 3090 and needs to travel more now so it will be perfect.

I’m literally in this same boat myself, wanting to downsize to save some desk space, I have a Montech case that’s almost identical to the 4000D in terms of size. I’m running a more “entry level” setup with a 12600K & a 3060.

Great build! On the fence of ordering this case with exactly the same downsizing plan. One question: their website mentions that the total thickness of the radiator and fans is 53mm max. Is this indeed true? So for example I wouldn't be able to fit an Arctic Liquid Freezer in? In the video it looks pretty "spacious" so I was wondering. Thanks for the video!

Wouldn't mind this pc, small form factor without compromising the atx motherboard. Awesome video, very simple without very much fluff.

Such a better looking case. I just made the same transition from a MASSIVE ATX case to a naked/sandwich ITX case (Xtia Xproto ATX) will an ATX Motherboard. Love it so, SO much more than I did my old one. Get to see all my components too.

SSUPD knocked it out of the park with all three of their cases. I've never used a case easier to build in than my Meshlicious, even with top-end components.

I put a barrier between my GPU and AIO radiator to help keep a "hot" side and "cold" side. I tested it out with cardboard, but I'm going to use a sheet of plastic. It's flush with the side panel to help create separate compartments.

Off topic but I love your living room, that black wall with the panels looks slick.

I’ve been wanting to downsize without having to buy a bunch of new components and man this is perfect! Thank you!

The video i was looking for thanks so much :)

That's exactly what I needed. I guess I know what I will be getting myself for Christmas.

welcome to the ITX squad! Ive been using an Ncase M1 and Dan Case S4 for years and take them to all kinds of LAN events, gaming with friends, and take it more places than my laptop most of the time! I love having mITX over my old full sized towers.

i love you living room design with that single seat sofa!!!

Marvellous piece of art. just wanted to know if there are any changes in temps overall?

Great video! I've been thinking about downsizing my PC for a while now.

I may need to do this. I have a P400A and it's a great case for cooling but I move it around a lot and could use a smaller one. I doubt my DH15 will fit though.

Thanks for making this, I'm currently considering this exact project. Bought a prebuilt during the pandemic as the only way to get a RTX 3080 without paying a scalper (I tried for months with stock monitoring tools and channels) and it's an Alienware PC, it's not bad but not great. Case size is definitely too big with tons of wasted plastic and water cooling is not impressive but then again I haven't been impressed by AIO water cooling yet anyway. I'm building a new PC for my living room gaming and VR and I want to bring my Alienware PC up to my room but not in that huge ass bulky case. Your case suggestion looks ideal.

Your videos are top of the line. I'm watching them like a hawk because I'm looking to replace my Corsair 540 builld (Nvidia 980ti, Intel 4790k). I definitely need to downsize it. Your last video on the 2000 D case with the 4080 looks like a great option. I also keep seeing stories where 4090 cards are melting. And it's really great that you do noise tests. Very few youtubers do this, and my 540 build makes a noticeable hum even at idle. I have a fanless mini pc that is nowhere near as powerful (Mele Quieter 2), but the silence is golden.

Probably the best SFF case out there IMO. I have the predecessor to this, Meshlicious, and it's a great case.

Im curious if this would work well with matx boards as well.

Msi z490a-pro, rtx 3080, 10th gen intel, all the parts i have right now inside my main pc! This video is too tempting

For the Wi-Fi, it's actually a m.2 form factor card on a pcie adapter with antennas. Just install in the extra m.2 slot on the MB with an external antenna. All good.

Those longs cables will effect air flow, while very slight every bit helps with this form factor.

I'm gonna build a pc soon so I went to learn by watching videos. I would say I'm not gonna build something like this, but still this is very interesting to watch and learn!

could you do this with a stock cooler or something similar

Hey man, amazing video, Im going traveling for the next 2 years and plan to do the same idea, can you please tell me what the total weight is for the pc after building in the new case so I can get a rough idea. Once again thank you for the great video.

Wow. Never heard of this case before. Looks super cool.

Dang man, I'm in the same boat with my 3080 prebuilt. I think I'll upgrade the GPU and try and watercool it and put it in a different case. Prebuilts are very convenient for a lot of people.

The way you placed the riser diagonally, it looks good in my opinion, not ugly at all.

This is amazing, i could never do this without breaking something.

*Hates to pay up for smaller PC with same performace.* This video Thanks man.

I am doing exact the same thing. Cant stand those big pc cases anymore. Great video.

Some gpus have trouble with the heatpipes working properly when they're mounted upright. It varies by model; from my understanding, it's just a physics thing. Something to look into if you start having temp issues. It can take several months to start happening, from what I've heard.

Nice job on the rebuild.

Thank you for this

*Does the Meshroom D also allow for full size ATX motherboards?*

Hey Devyn. I don't know if you will see this but, I have a question. Can you use this on its side? Kind of like a Formd T1? Or is there a case that would allow ATX motherboard support while being in the sideways orientation? Thanks. Great vid btw.

It looks so much better ! I hate big cases. This one is perfect !

awesome video! i always thought pcs getting ridiculously big sometimes and taking up way too much space. especially funny with setups where the PC is half the size of the desk it stands on. and its really not like it gives u many advantages most of the time (except to show off to you friends I guess). just feels like a lot of unused space. nowadays even small form factor cases are able to fit most of the biggest gpus in it. personally i really like these stealthy looks and compact builds a lot more anyways this case also looks really cool but it really is a shame you can't put anything into the other PCIe slots. feel like that almost defeats the point in having the ability to put in a full-size motherboard (Oc if thats what u already got that's perfect than). using the Dan H20 personally and am in love with the form factor

Interesting case and truly tempting to try, but usability/spatial efficiency seem dubious unless need to resettle an (m)ATX mobo indeed - exactly as in the pretty particular instance you are sharing!

I would probably have the fans for the radiator on the other side, pulling air through the mesh and pushing it through the radiator fins.

Do you have an open M.2 slot on your mobo? Cuz the WiFi card could get put in there if you needed it.

I literally done this a day ago, but in me case I kept the ATX PSU and swap the ATX MOBO for a M-ITX MOBO.

Wow, that case is compact. And so is the video!

i find i never utilize most of the features on a full atx board. even micro-atx is kind of more than you need. especially when a mini-itx comes with wifi, plenty of m.2 and pretty much everything else you need. of course they do tend to be more expensive and generally dont use the best chipsets. sometimes there is a feature you need thats not available on a mini itx due to the available chipsets, but thats pretty rare. its usually something like bifurcation or raid, which is sometimes useful in an sff or nas build, respectively. sometimes micro atx is a better trade off, and is the most common. there are a couple form factors that i wish were less rare. for example mini-dtx which is a bit wider (taller in this case) than itx with an extra pcie slot. my case can probably handle a flex atx, which is a trimmed micro with usually 2 ram slots instead of 4 (the possablity of a ram upgrade is nice on paper, but i find in practice you sometimes end up taking a memory performance hit with 4 modules). and unless using a sandwich case the extra slots are probibly going to be blocked by the gpu anyway.

I just built my own case from scratch. Its much smaller but the way its laid out i have much better air flow. My cpu temps have dropped 5°c with the exact same fans, board and everything.

Could you do a review on the thermaltake tower 200?

We have similar minimalist tastes. Also nice husky/Siberian big boy (malamute), can’t tell.

Nothing sexier, NOTHING, than seeing a motherboard with all the RAM slots filled. I LOVE IT! And don't get me started on that cute little PSU!!! Oh my! Great video. I do like the idea of having smaller PC case, though how cramped everything has to be is not that attractive to me. Especially when I consider down the line when I am going to do further work, even simple work, like clean it from dust. One thing I would definitely do differently is not have liquid cooling. Air all the way!!! Thanks for sharing.

Wish I had seen this literally two days again when I began ordering all the pieces to build a new PC for my living room when neither ATX sized tower I had would fit. Ended up getting a Thermaltake Core V21 case to fit the space I needed but this case would have worked much better.

very nice, but what are your GPU temps sitting at?

Did you end up switching out the riser cable? Which one did you choose if you did?

This is literally the exact same boat I am in hahah , bought my PC in 2020 pre built as only way to get 3080. Corsair 4000 with tempered glass panels , its lovely ! However I want to go even smaller and go for the XTIA XPROTO-L Going to be moving from a gaming room so to speak to a a living room PC.

Will this fit in a backpack

Those components look brand new. Nice to see a fellow clean freak!
