We Built a POWERFUL Mini PC for $500?!

[@tryllejens]

You could fit a lot of power into that little case, if you get a decent SFX PSU from the start. You could upgrade to a Ryzen 5700x or 5600, an RTX 4070, a better CPU cooler maybe like the IS-55, and add at least a 120mm slim intake fan on the bottom. Would be a very capable little system!

[@yescooliotime]

You just described my ATX tower and that makes me sad.

[@orion9k]

Noctua NH-L12S is better? I am thinking about using this case with ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I GAMING and 7800x3d when Black Friday sales are up.

[@DemonStink]

I just got the G200 which is from the same family of these cases, but can fit regular CPU coolers and PSUs, so you don't need to buy expensive SFX/ITX stuff (only the mobo). It's really not even that much bigger. And where I live was about £10 cheaper than the S300 (because there's no need for a riser cable). I highly recommend checking it out as an alternative. There's also the S400 which is the slightly bigger brother of the S300 that can take two top fans for better heat ventilation.

[@Sonic6293]

I just bought the bigger brother of this case, the S400. It's about two liters bigger and can accommodate the some of the biggest GPUs like the 4090 and 7900 XTX. Still waiting for my 13400 and new case fans to come in before I put it all together.

[@kotztotz3530]

I have the S400 also! Amazing case. I have a 12700K and 3080 and both perform really well. I have two slim fans up top and that helps exhaust the hot air out. I definitely suggest using those fan slots if you're running a hot CPU and/or GPU.

[@dany.2431]

what gpu are you using?

[@Sonic6293]

@@dany.2431 Currently, I run a reference AMD RX6800. Probably won't upgrade until next generation of GPUs comes out.

I second this comment. Watching that motherboard slide into place was kinda satisfying.

[@BaHeinKyaw2002]

This case looks solid, but I want to see the next build in it. This case is called the (Mechanic Master IF13) and it also can mount ATX PSU and a GPU of up to 345mm in length.

[@jiggybucksington]

Wanted that board for my build bad. Couldn’t justify the $129.99 cost. Went with a Jgunyue b550i-gaming. Gen 4 support at half the cost. No argb headers tho sadly 😔. But it does have a usb-c case header!

[@bco1981]

I built in that case about 2 months ago, have a 8700k and gtx 1080ti in there. got a id cooling is-55 black cpu cooler, runs great.

why a 5600g with a gpu?

[@snakesgunsandbikes]

Snagged a 4100 for 45 bucks on ebay with cooler. Then I took a gamble on a "tested for parts not working" Asrock A520 for 21 bucks. They tested it wrong works great. Popped in a RX 6600 and boom, Budget banger. I even used the same ram and m.2 as you here.

[@Grylvak]

I currently have a 12600k and a RTX 3080 in this exact case and it runs great. CPU has the Noctua low profile cooler on it and the only complaint is that the case gets pretty warm after long sessions but I haven't seen any overheating in the last few months with it. Great little case

[@rickgeller6043]

This style case is referred to as, "LUNCH BOX", not a suitcase.

[@Scott-ig1zd]

Did Apevia stop using ketchup and mustard under mesh covers for their cables? In the video I see flat black cables and on amazon and newegg they show Ketchup & Mustard cables.

[@BREEZYM6015]

That's some smooth music playing to a super smooth PC.

[@MarkOffski]

So the USB C connecter on the case is redundant because the ASRock A520M-ITX/AC doesn't have front USB C support>?

[@Aodan]

I get this is kinda old, but I'm planning a build with this case. You could do a 7800x3d with some caps on power usage and use a full copper 47mm cooler and be perfectly fine. I would highly suggest you guys join or talk into the SFF communities.

[@anthonymason9855]

Im building my younger brother a pc with hyte revolt 3 / PSU and the same mobo from this video and the SSD from here too and I got the case and PSU combo for around 130 and its keeping my cost down and its running a Ryzen 5 3600 I got brand new for 80 dollars, the case is made for aio, but i added 2x 140MM NZXT PWM Fans to keep it cool, I got the ASrock B550m ITX Mobo used for like a hundred bucks and Its almost built just need to get a GPU and im gonna put in a Radeon RX 6600 inside just dont got the money yet, but I will soon.

can you update the price i added it all up and the total is $756.68 so it is not 500.00$ anymore

[@vidsurfer0725]

I took this case apart to a.point.of being near flat packed. I got it and hated how cheap it looked (it's.well built enough in terms of sturdiness. I used the PSU bracket and power switch in another build that is lacking those parts.

FInally a non-rbg good looking build! I think the real challenge is a mini itx build with a 3 slot + long gpu like 40 series

[@ThatManDre]

Does it have an upgrade path? I might want to upgrade the GPU and cpu in the future. 🤔

[@Kufuru_alt]

it does, you can go to a ryzen 9 5950x if you need the cores or an AMD ryzen 7 5800x3d if you want the best for gaming on the platform.

[@boomshaka918]

The motherboard is good enough to upgrade I wouldn't trust the power supply. You would need a stronger cooler also most likely.

[@Kufuru_alt]

@@boomshaka918well that's a given fact for everything else aside from the motherboard. I'm sure he's not stupid to not change the CPU cooler and PSU when doing the upgrade lol Motherboard is 100% fine for the CPU upgrade.

[@GTArajgaming]

makes you wonder how much you can pull out of a form factor of that size. like a 2 fan RTX 4060/3060 paired with a 5900x BUT with the voltage capped to 1.1v and pbo cranked (with an aftermarket cooler) should make a great team. I run my 5900x rig and pull less than 320 watts at full tilt and that's with a 3070 ftw3 a 5900x capped to 1.1v and pbo cranked

[@mikeymaiku]

you can pull alot, the question is more along the lines if your okay with the generally much higher temps you would deal with. (my 10850k can easily hit 90 degrees but its more due to me being limited to a 53mm tall cooler and my z490i board forces me to use a noctua l9i or the thermalright x53 low profile cooler due to clearance issues).

[@StereoPenguin94]

[@Jwalker76]

Not bad for a itx system. Ive never built a itx system because there's so much risk that something doesn't fit. But a cheap system with a 1660 super/ti that's so small it's hard to mess it up. So long as your PSU fits you should be fine. Apparently AMD is pulling the plug on Rx 400/500/Vega driver support. Not sure about Nvidia 10 series but I bet they will remove driver support soon too. So the 1660 super, and 1660 ti (both perform about the same) make a good option for cheap GPUs with driver support.

[@Brain_09fr]

Hey toasty bros !!!

[@VideoClips0109]

Good morning I love this build it's expensive to me. The you.❤

[@AutoCannonSaysHi]

So tempted to do this mini build. I just got a 4060ti16, and the rest of my system is desperate for an update. I essentially plugged a modern card into a potato. (fx cpu... big oof). So bringing myself upto speed for 500, take away the 1660 price, fire savings into a better cpu, I might be laughing. Though I wonder how close to redline that power was. The 4060ti16 doesn't take ~that~ much more power than the 1660, (165 vrs 120) but I'm left wondering if there was enough headroom on that 500 watt for it.

[@Jwalker76]

Apparently the minimum PSU requirement for a 4060ti 16gb is 550w. I do think u want a better CPU for that 4060ti. Maybe a Ryzen 5500, or 5600. You could do a intel 12100f but I don't know about intel itx motherboards. Intel 12th gen tend to run hotter than Ryzen, 12100 being only 4 cores probably isn't that bad.

[@DemonStink]

I wouldn't get the B550 ITX board for this build. The A520 ITX will be cheaper. The case uses PCI-E 3.0 riser anyways so the only real benefit from the B550 is wasted. Sure a GEN4 SSD would be nice but GEN3 is cheaper and you're not realistically going to tell the difference if all you're doing is gaming.

[@boomshaka918]

[@mannydcbianco]

I hate how Fortnite is such an inconsistent FPS experience. I build and sell computers as a side hustle and I always make sure to get a accurate FPS readings for popular games to add to the listing, so that people know what to expect. But Fortnite is such a mess where one patch/update runs super smooth without stutters, only to be unplayable in the next patch/update. It sucks because it means the people who buy a PC from me might think I scammed them and lied about the FPS when they get home and install the latest Fortnite update and it's an unplayable stuttery mess.

[@AutoCannonSaysHi]

Maybe a dumb comment but, Advertise with a cushion? I bet customers would be pleasantly surprised if you told em "Yea might do XX fps" and in fact when it goes home with em, it does a percentage better.

[@mannydcbianco]

@@AutoCannonSaysHi Funny you would say that because that is _exactly_ what I started doing a few weeks ago. If I measure an average of 120 FPS with 1% lows in the 80s I'll just advertise 100 FPS and 1% lows of 70 instead, to give myself a buffer. But even so, sometimes the Fortnite updates can dump the 1% lows on budget systems with entry level CPUs from a not great but playable FPS to a miserably unplayable stuttery mess. Same hardware, same graphics settings, but something in the update will just kill the 1% lows. I have encountered no other game that can change more form one update to the next.

In this era of underwhelming 1080p GPus launched in 2023. I feel like we should really explore itx form factors. CPUs like the 4100 and the 4600G are perfect for 'casual' or arcade games you can play in your lounge with your friends on game night. or for a an entertainment system. these LunchBox builds are perfect for even gaming cafes if you have the start up capital but don't necessarily have the room to put 15 giant gaming PCs in your rented office space.
