Looks great. I've just bought the H6 flow. Do you think it would be possible to vertical mount a GPU in it? I've a Palit gamerock 5070Ti and it's 3.5 slots thick. Chatgpt reckons the bracket from NZXT would be too tight against the glass but the cooler master V3 would work better. Only thing is it'll make my GPU pcie 4 not 5 so I'm unsure. Never vertical mounted before and boy these things are expensive. I've also bought 2 x Thermalright TL-C14C-S 140mm ARGB fans for bottom of case, will these sync if plugged directly into motherboard or do I need some sort of controller box?finished setup. just waiting on my new monitor then im 100% done!

Tbh mate I’m not sure. This is an older build am I can’t 100% remember the dimensions.
Yeah no worries mate I've since received the case and measured everything inside and it'll fit just fine so I've ordered the NZXT mount.
nice Jimbo, make sure you upload spme photos once done. Would love to see it up and running!
PC for my youngest, using the Phanteks XT M3:
Really nicely thought-out, compact case but with plenty of room for decent components.
7600X
Thermalright Peerless Assassin Digital (RGB 4x4 Turbo SE, etc)
Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite AX Ice
32Gb Vengeance RGB (C30/6000)
Sapphire Nitro 9060XT 16Gb
2Tb Crucial P310 NVME
MSI Mag A850GLS
9x Jungle Leopard Interstellar-V2 Fans (inc. 3x reverse flow)
upHere ARGB Magnetic Fan Hub
I swapped out the stock fans for Unifan clones (because no first gaming pc is complete without plenty of RGB!) and tried to keep the wiring somewhat tidy...

New Corsair Air 5400, very impressive cooling it took 10c off both cpu and graphics card, fun to build I as well
All done here we are...nice Jimbo, make sure you upload spme photos once done. Would love to see it up and running!
Very pleased with it. H6 flow. Arctic Freezer 3 360 pro. 9800X3D. Msi mag x870e. Palit gamerock 5070Ti. Got a NZXT vertical mount kit so might use. Does put the GPU in gen4 but shouldn't lose too much performance?

@Jimbo
Nice build.
I've also read multiple comments that the newer NZXT vertical GPU mount kit keeps the GPU at PCIe 5.0 even though it's sold as 4.0 for some reason?

Another 5400 Air.
What a monumental pain in the ass that was build using a non Corsair AIO.
I had to remove 2 of the top USB C ports to fit my Thermalright Trofeo cooler in.
That said, now it's done it was worth the faffing, and everything is cool, literally..
Expensive, but it does work, and well.

Was just admiring that as well! Thats awesome
Very nice love black mesh cases. Is that matx? I have the Asus ap201 which looks similar except yours is smaller.
I'm eyeing up the ncase M3 as my next build.
Yes, it is a μATX case but all the dimensions are smaller than the popular fractal design Define Nano S window (mini-ITX case)
The case isn't particularly easy to install, but it's not insurmountably difficult either, though it is more challenging than the Antec and Fractal Design cases I've used in the past.
On the other hand, the case looks better than LIAN LI cases in the exact same price range. The case is also quieter than all my previous cases despite the open design.

The arctic freezer 34 does a great job cooling my CPU but I'm thinking of getting something else because It looks out of place and changing to a black colour cooler will make it look better. What you think guys?
@Lee Charles - I picked the Peerless Assassin Digital for my youngest's rig, with a 9060XT Nitro ^^PC for my youngest, using the Phanteks XT M3:
