I wanted to make something which would take less space on my desk but I didn't want to lose out on some performance I enjoyed from my old system.

Some points:

I wanted to save some cash by reusing my 3080, but it wouldn't fit so it needed a deshroud. I used 3x Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax wired directly to the video cards fan headers.

The USB hub on the front gives me 4 extra USB 3.2 ports connected directly to the E-type connector on the motherboard.

There are still some modifications I need to do, the video card exhaust isn't sufficient, so I have the side panel off right now. I will dremel out some extra slots. Right now it runs very cool, as the case has direct cold, dust filtered air.

CPU runs warm, 55c idle, 77c gaming, 90c full load. I'm running an all-core PBO negative curve of -23. I will do some per-core testing here soon.

Specs:Case: Silverstone RVZ02CPU: 7800X3dHeatsink: Noctua NH-L9x65Motherboard: ASUS Strix B650E-IPSU: Corsair SF750Video: Gigabyte RTX 3080 12GBMemory: 64GB Kingston Fury BeastSSD's: Crucial T700 1TB, Muskin 2TB, WD Blue 2TB (SATA)

Reddit's included image gallery appears to just plain not work, so here's the gallery.
