The Phanteks Evolv Shift Air 2 spits in the face of all the keyboard warriors shouting "20 liters" but does it in a way that takes up very little desk space. It was extremely easy to build a system in it. Just follow the directions (unlike me).
Surprisingly in this build, that little Noctua L9a (actually L9i with AM4 mounts) is holding down the temperature of the 5800X. It's pretty cool near my desk. When the ambient temperature gets to mid-summer levels, I may resort to tuning the power limits or running ECO mode.
Overall, I'm happy with it and may even use it for a little while.
If you decide to buy any of these parts (or anything else really) it helps if you use the links to Amazon provided below. In several years, I think the links have only generated enough to cover MAYBE 1-2 cases, but I still appreciate it.
Also, please consider first sharing your blessings (we are lucky to be able to have gaming computers) by supporting your local food banks, churches, etc, that take care of the less fortunate. Also, in this particular time, you may consider (but be careful of scams) charities that support the people of Ukraine and Russia that are suffering as a result of Russian military aggression. Since this is a chill build, please keep political arguing out of the comments!
