SFFPC: Golden Field M3S (18.7L) next to Silverstone SG13 (11.5L)

Random post but… since imgur is down I thought I’d just post this here on my website instead. I got it for $65.99 when it had a coupon on Amazon. What’s great about the M3S is that it can support a mATX motherboard and an ATX power supply which are usually cheaper than their ITX and SFX counterparts.

Cons:

Front Ports are 1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 instead of both 3.0.

Airflow sucks for heavy gaming as fans get really loud (taking off the tempered glass helps a lot). During normal operation fans are quiet with tempered glass on. Personally got it for the looks not for the performance. Update June 2019: I literally have to use this without the tempered glass side panel so it wouldn’t get to hot when gaming. I would not recommend this case for gaming. For non-gaming purposes it’s a beautiful case.

 

 

 

Edit: Just got an Aigo Halo 120mm Fan for $10 to spice it up

Edit: Just added my new mATX MSI Gaming PRO motherboard with the Ryzen 2600X!

 

Edit 2: Added pictures of bottom of case as requested by a reader.

Two intake fans on the bottom would make this a great airflow case. I would personally do that and mod the top for a 240 AIO, with two fans on the bottom. I have a a Lian Li TU-150 its great for airflow with two fans on the bottom approach, I see no reason that this wouldn’t do the same.
