How much would it cost to put together an ITX size system?

It drops the chassis temp by a good 10c, totally works. I wired it with a 4pin to USB adaptor, added a on/off switch into the wire and can turn it on and off.

Just checked it out, too expensive...and I actually prefer the wood accent on the other one...but the price difference is enough for a good GPU is too much for bare.

Side note, it would be good if some of these have a couple of USB ports on the front. I notice some cases have no front ports.

Yeah, it was a nice idea, but too much for a reality, I thought exactly the same
I agree, I hate it when they have the buttons/ports in the wrong place for your chosen placement, that really makes or breaks a case for me.

YouTube is listening...this just popped into my feed. However, TLDR, he bought another case, took front panel off, 3D printed another one, modded it to suit. Got loads of parts used. But it shows the whole build process, which is interesting.

Is there a tool on the ocuk shop bit where I can add all the bits required for a build?

Like start from

1 - Case

2 - Mobo

In which it takes you to the next step like mobo which it will filter in only the compatible mobo for the case you've picked

Then it takes you to CPU which due to your mobo choice, filters in leaving you with compatible CPU, etc etc.

Working it's way through GPU and perhaps even fans size.
