Interesting build! I noticed the choice of a 5400rpm NAS drive for primary storage—what are your plans for using that in this SFF setup?
@finn96 Why go with the 5400rpm NAS drive for primary storage in an SFF build? Curious about the reasoning behind that choice.
@anna_core Thanks for asking! The 5400rpm NAS drive isn't meant as primary storage; it's for backups and large media files. I'll add a faster SSD for the main OS and games.
@femke_core Good call on using the NAS drive for backups and media—it's a smart way to keep large files off your main SSD and maintain good performance in an SFF case.
How do you plan to manage cable management and airflow in the Phanteks EVOLV X2 with this parts combo?
@noor_loop Considering the Phanteks EVOLV X2's tight space, how do you plan to handle the cable management for the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 PSU with this components layout?
@maxbouwt Considering the tight space in the Phanteks EVOLV X2, are you planning to use any specific cable ties or Velcro straps to keep everything tidy and maintain good airflow?
Considering the tight space in the Phanteks EVOLV X2, how do you plan to position the ARCTIC Freezer 50 cooler alongside the CPU and manage any potential airflow restrictions?
@sem47 Good question—the ARCTIC Freezer 50 in the EVOLV X2 will need careful positioning to avoid crowding the CPU and other components.
@lisa_core Agreed, the ARCTIC Freezer 50 will need precise placement in the EVOLV X2 to ensure it doesn't interfere with the CPU or other parts.
