Sure. Ssupd has plans for 3D printed feet but a number of people have used speaker/audio feet. There are screw holes hidden under the rubber pads on the bottom. Super easy to thread some feet on. Gives enough clearance for standard cables instead of right angle.

I’ll post some pics next week when my video card arrives. The 40 mm size is the sweet spot. You might be able to go a litter larger in diameter but run the risk of them being larger than the case. At 40 mm they are under the case and completely disappear when the panels are on.
nah, dont choose the iPPC, those are industrial fans, they are loud because they can spin up to 3000 RPM if you want to rape your ears you can buy cheaper fans.
to make matters worse: those industrial fans will be loud @ 1500RPM than these consumer fans.
if you want to go the cheapo route you can choose P14 from Arctic, those are pretty good fans, i would say after noctua there is arctic. i personally use arctic.
fans cost just like 7 pounds, i dont why but currently in UK those Fans are priced way to high on amazon, but a few days ago amazon sold these for 6,99£.
So, you have to choose: noctua or arctic. but please dont use industrial fans in a normal build. maybe sound promising but it will just destroy your experience.
btw: In the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 (which is one of the best aios, aint a bad choice) you ll have the great arctic fans preinstalled so you won't have to buy other fans.
i hope this clears some things up :D

This is my first time posting a build on Reddit. I decided to create positive pressure just purely on aesthetics alone aka I don't like the way it looks in a negative pressure setup. I added standoffs to both the motherboard and gpu sides. These standoffs did not screw in perfectly, so I would suggest other ones. But this allowed a lot of room for cable management, which took hours of planning. I was able to hide the controller behind the psu as a result. The backplate on the mobo doesn't fit perfectly because other wise the panels will not close due to the height of the Galahad pump block. The tubing seems to be sticking out, but I'm able to close the panels perfectly fine. The case is in 3 slot orientation and I raise the gpu to the highest possible point. Adding case feet also allowed me to use my normal DisplayPort and HDMI cables without any adapters. I'm not going to get shorty antennas because I don't think they're worth the cost. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. I am here to share and learn. Thank you.
Thank you. They are not. Bought from amazon. Had to find other screws to secure them, as the included ones where too thick. Not sure of the size as I have a lot of extra parts lying around, and found 4 that fit. Lol

This was the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PK23VC4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are many like it on Amazon and elsewhere (Lowes, Walmart, etc.) and I'm sure you can find smaller kits for less as well.
Any reason why you put the tubing like that on the AIO? Wouldn't it be better to tuck the tubes behind the PSU and lead the tubing by the IO heatsink?
Buy these antennae instead of using the little antennae stand, they work great.

these fit for me without any adapters but i did have to cut off the rubber piece around the back of the connector so the cable will be more flexible.
Not sure about the ssupd one, but I got the model C of this cable (Currently OOS) and use it with a 1080p 144hz freesync monitor with a 6800xt. I have freesync enabled globally haven't had any flickering issues unless it was minecraft and opengl being wonky.
Buy this for C8i . I’m in the same spot and it took me a painstaking amount of time to research the right riser. Also I’m pretty sure I broke my C8i PCIE slot trying to fit the stock 3.0 riser in my board with the GPU installed. Oh well, I can still return it.
I ended up using one of these in my build.

It rests on the spine in the middle and I put a strip of magnetic tape on the side to hold it in place. I also used the magnetic tape to hold the rear fans onto the back too. Originally I used Velcro since I had that already, but the adhesive wasn't very sticky and every time I moved the fans I would rip it off either the chassis or the fans. The magnetic tape worked better as I didn't have to worry about that anymore. Thanks to u/brandon_hk for the tips!
I see, I thought maybe you had an adapter to plug into the I/O in the back of the Mobo.
If you're interested you could get a splitter like this:
https://www.newegg.com/p/1FR-00BS-00044
And then get an adapter like this:
Then both the USB ports will work.
A few ideas:
Use the J-Hack 2426 to clean up the 24 pin cable and run it behind the motherboard and GPU
Run the Motherboard EPS cable between the motherboard and GPU
Move the SATA power cables behind the other power cables
Use these for the GPU power cables to get them behind the GPU and out of the way
Buy some black zip ties
Here’s a link to what I got to bring the motherboard out about 10mm I believe. Screw them into the existing standoffs. It fits the mobo io into the cases 4 slot config, and the spine stays in 3 slot so you have the space in between the mobo and spine to route cables.
Some DP cables will fit, but not the standard ones with the latches. I have a maxonar dp cable that was supposed to be smaller but it does not fit well, maybe if you really force it. But my dp cable from my Dell monitor fits thought it is a bit tight. I still feel more comfortable with the feet I put on.
Believe OP used this

Basically so long as you measure around 26mm in length, the motherboard should line up with the opening for I/O panel in 4-slot-GPU mode. I used a 20mm male/female stand-off and a 5mm male/female stand-off together. I didn’t screw the 20mm and 5mm standoffs completely together so that it would effectively be 26mm. Some used the original standoffs with the 20mm stand-off from this kit but for some reason the original standoffs wouldn’t screw into the 20mm standoffs for me.
I had these Extension Cables from my previous ATX build:

For the direction the PSU should face, it's more about aesthetics than performance. The only concern is that the PSU fan-side has a gap to allow for airflow. It's possible to have the fan face the Glass if you re-orient the PSU bracket to where the PSU sits closer to the spine rather than the side panel. The PSU fan directly up against the glass side panel is not a good idea.

Thanks buddy!
Temps are pretty good; CPU idles at low 40's and gets to mid 60's when gaming. The GPU gets to high 70's when gaming at 1440p.
I'm content just using USB3. You can get a USB3 to USB-C header if you needed it. Otherwise I'd recommend other B550 ITX boards instead of the Gigabyte if you want to use both.
Any hex m3 standoff kit should have 20mm ones to combine with the stock standoffs. I got these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQ33Y9X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6JNMA1MZPB76TENJ6AA3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These were what I got, I've been using them for a few days now and tbh I think they're nice. They don't flex or depress under the weight, they look and feel high quality, and they're plenty tall enough to let my normal sized HDMI and DP cables just come out of the bottom of the case. I didn't bother attaching them to the case itself, but it doesn't wobble at all, and I'm sure some strong double sided tape would do the trick if I wanted it attached.

With these on, you might need to use the longer can screws that come with AIOs/radiators.
im in the same boat as you... was fine going with a 3.0 until i got a 3060... i ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P5WM5TZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Its 4cm longer, but same style... will see if works out.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B018C19KJ0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is the one I bought. Depending on where you are, you should be able to find similar kits.
Here's a guide on how to do it:
You make good points. I can confirm that if one were to use an ATX PSU, or the upper & inwards SFX mounting position, it would get very tight on the riser cable. However, in my lower mounted SFX psu, it's not an issue for me, though I did have to relax the bend in the cable a bit.
I bought this standoff for the mobo standoff mod and it fits perfectly with a 6-32 screw on the case and mobo side. It's just a shame that you pay for 25 when you only need 4... Like you I'm in the middle of my build and hope to add some finer points of the Meshroom S to reddit in the upcoming weeks as there are some subtle changes from the Meshlicious.
So, I know a lot of people are doing the cable management behind the mobo and I opted for the GPU perhaps this is why. But Corsair opted to to daisy chain the PCIe power cables on the SX750, and I wish they hadn't. Only complicated the issue, but these 180° adapters got it pretty much flat, and they look great.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PG5LDMT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
For EVGA cards you will want the standard adapter. If you have a different manufacturer, check your connection orientation. If I look at my Asus 3080 Ti TUF, for example, it would need the reverse adapter.
I have a Cooler Master Liquid ML280 with Arctic fans on the rad.
Cooler Master often gets overlooked for some of the bigger names but its quiet and cools my 5950x just fine. Spending more doesn't feel worth the diminishing returns.
i tried this Belkin Essential series hdmi swivel adaptor and it degraded the signal, i got drop outs on 4K content. it seems to be discontinued now.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Belkin-Essential-Swivel-Adapter-F3Y039bt/dp/B01NBXSNGJ
the only ones i think people have success with are those ABT internal rerouting cables, but i suspect most adaptors will degrade signal a bit so you will need headroom on the actual cable to hit 48Gb.
Thanks!
To A:
It is the original riser cable plus the one that came with the vertical GPU mount for my Lian-Li Lancool II. Both are PCIe 3.0, and the Lian-Li one is sitting between the board and the one that came with the case. I tried using just the one from Lian-Li, but it has a 90 degree connector on the GPU side, and I couldn't find a useful way to mount that to the case without starting to drill new holes.
To B:
These adapters have names like "VGA PCIE 8 Pin U Turn 180 Degree Angle Connector Power Adapter Board", basically a small PCB with 2 power connectors soldered to it, turning the cable around so it's easier to hide them behind the GPU (especially when vertically mounted). I use one of these here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PG5LDMT
They seem solid so far, I had power splitter cables in the past that had me worrying more. But to be fair: I haven't found anything yet where it specifies the actual load you could put on them, but they are sold specifically for PCIe VGA power cables to connect, so I think it is reasonable to assume they would match the PCIe SIG specifications.
Only problem I have seen so far: make sure you get the right ones, as there are 2 variants, matching the respective way of whichever side of the GPU PCB the original connecter is located.
Linkup Right Angle 15cm I got a used one under $30. Right angle is the most common type so other brands will work too, but they mostly are 200mm. (might be able to fold the extra 5cm?)
I used these
I used the longest (20mm) female to male stand off to attach the the default standoffs on the Meshlicious Motheboard tray.
Last time I gave it a proper search this was the closest sort of thing I could find, but I couldn't really find anything with a 1440 vertical res.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TG8RL4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
They have pretty thick walls. The one I linked you is 6mm ID x 9mm OD, even though the fittings are for 10mm OD, the tube is stretched out when put on the barb fitting making it closer to 10mm OD. Speaking from experience as I tried the 10mm and it was too big to slide the compression collar on.
Git them off of Amazon under evga. You need to have a evga psu though. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-750-850-Individually-Sleeved-100-G2-08KL-B9/dp/B01K9EY7IW/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?crid=3KXIROFAT1XKJ&keywords=evga+psu+cables&qid=1661107305&sprefix=evga+psu+%2Caps%2C628&sr=8-10
You can go with cable mods but I do not recommend going with any aftermarket cables except the ones provided by the manufacturer.
I am using this one: https://www.amazon.com/MHQJRH-heatsink-Double-Sided-Thermal-Silicone/dp/B07KDDKDNN
Other M2 heatsink should also fit as long as it's not too crazy.
Definitely took a LONG time to find something I liked, but I spent a shit load of time finding ones that would fit between the holes used for the 3D printed ones. If you're drilling your own holes, you don't need to bother with that. If you're not, you'll need 5.5in ones I think.
Some dimension (mm were easiest) Outside foot holes C-C (center to center) - 140mm
Inside foot holes - 112mm
Distance between the two - 15mm
Hole distance length wise - 190mm
Inner case dimensions (inside the mesh panels) - 57mm

Search for "cabinet pulls" for regular handles. I was also intrigued by "cabinet edge pulls" as an alternative. Be extremely cautious with doing exactly what I did as the rear one slides out pretty easily. If you try to push to cashe, it could slip out and tip over.
sure, just some m3 screws. Specifically these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JG72119/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
One of them fit perfectly.
I did swap my ADT-Link "gen 4" riser to the original meshlicious gen4 cable and all my problems were solved. I searched at the time and discovered that most of these "gen4" cables don't really support gen4 specs, so they'll fail sometime. The original mehslicious gen4 riser, from linkup, on the other hand, works perfectly. I bought it at amazon (ITX (SSUPD) [14CM] option - https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-High-Speed-Gen4%E2%94%83Dual-Connectors-Compatible/dp/B092JTTLYF/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2LA7M4YJ7ASFR&keywords=riser%2Bmeshlicious&qid=1644964883&sprefix=riser%2Bmeshlicio%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-2&th=1) and never had any problem.
I personally use these angled adapters for my evga 3080ti in this exact case and it’s opened up the fans a ton!

Adapter to what?
As I said, there is an adapter for the motherboard USB 3.0 header (like this, and a dozen other similar), but you are already using it for the other front panel cable, to use the USB A port.

A small ratchet screwdriver, like this one for example.

I love my frostflow, $50 and it's been nothing but amazing the past three months. Almost all AIOs are tge ssme. The pumps are all made by one of two companies only differences being styling. If you are using the full mesh then you cant really see the AIO anyways. It's simple and works. IMO I wouldn't waste money on LCD screen and other fancy features you'll have a harder time seeing on an ITX case. Choice is yours but here what I went with (tubes are also braided)
Oh mine was a simple adapter as yours, BUT I think I found what we might need.
I believe we need the left angle one
Let me know if that’s the right one!
I’m getting mine sometime next week, so I won’t have a full idea on how it’ll work. Now I’m kinda deciding if I should order another one for the build I’m preparing for my sister. I ordered her the teal NR200, but I just saw a post where they painted the meshlicious, and I think I’d rather do that. The nr200 is costing me more than to just build in a meshlicious lol.
SSUPD replied! They're sending over a replacement front panel I/O, so fingers crossed.
I also did buy a second power button, both for the convenience (because it makes too much sense) and in case SSUPD took a while. For what it's worth, I landed on this one: same brand (and it also includes the power button jumper splitter, so I don't need to pick external or internal), but a bit smaller for my somewhat cramped desk space.
I had the same issue..but it took forever to get my case. So I just bought:

And I don’t have that problem now, plus I don’t have to reach 3 WHOLE feet to turn my computer on now..dam first world problems.
Here and it seems pretty good. A lot of people here use it with their builds. There's not many options for air cooling with the meshlicious. It's honestly the best option to go with if you want to air cool your computer.
>especially cable management
Your build looks great! I've seen people do the standoff riser mode
Basically you buy a kit like that and it will give you more space under the board to hide cables.
I'm using that one:

but be aware that it could not work with all Meshy builds, comment from amazon:
"Product is good, but connector so long that when used with SSUPD Meshilicious case at the longest graphic card position the connector is too long."
Also make sure you pick up a right angle DVI cable. I got this one it goes up to 280hz 1080p for me.

One thing to note about Cable Management on the dtx crosshair 8 impact, is that the EPS 8-pin connector for CPU power is right next to the motherboard 24 pin, on the right side of the board. Near the top.

This is the model I used for a full size gpu in my case

Note the DUAL reverse connector. This helps relieve some stress on the PCIE slot. This one is only 20 cm long but I found it had plenty of space to mount my GPU properly, with a tiny bit of slack left over.
===
This is the model I used for the small form factor GPU in my build. I know this is probably not what you're looking for, but I'm linking it for the sake of the thread. Unfortunately the legnth I needed does not come in a dual reverse connector, so the part that hooks into my motherboard looks like the second one you linked. Funny coincidence actually though, I've used that extra space created by the PCIE connector pointing straight out, and then curving down, as a little tunnel to hide some cords in.
LINKUP - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092JS57BQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This one is 27 cm long and is just barely long enough to fit up to where the GPU is mounted.
First, I have the tophat from Etsy and it can only fit a single 120mm or 140mm. I personally have the latter in mine and it's very nice to have it. Since the two fans in the front draw in and the top can pull out where heat goes (up).
Second, I got these feet for the case for only $12. They are for audio equipment so a bit softer than most PC case feet. But give some clearance without being obvious, help with sound deadening, provide some air flow, and easy fit a regular DP cable.
I dod the Mobo and GPU stand-off mod, and tried it out with the stock 3.0 riser cable (on an Asus B550-i Strix), and the standard cable (14cm) just fit.
I upgraded to PCIe 4.0, so kept the same cable length and it literally just fit.
Oh i'm sorry, I misunderstood.
I don't have a link to the standoff mod guide, but this link was what I bought that the guide recommended https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQ33Y9X/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
This is the one I currently have. I ordered Model C. It works great so far.

I have mounted mine under my 60" desk in order to make room for my studio monitors and ultrawide 34" monitor. I used this and it came out pretty well, I think:

I can snap some pics a little later if you want. Only problem is it makes accessing the top usb ports a little tight, if you use those a lot. My monitor has a usb hub so it doesn't bother me...
I recommend powered air blowers. Something like this. I have the older version of this and it's insanely powerful. Gets the job done in a few minutes and it's 95% as good as using an air compressor.
They make RGB versions of the P12. The P12s are one of the best price to performance fans out there and I think the RGB versions have very similar results. I don't have much experience setting up RGB stuff so I can't help you with that.
Hello all! After many, many rebuilds, I’ve finally settled on what is sure to be an extremely rare combination for Meshlicious builds.
In this build, I used a 27cm Link Up double reverse ITX PCIE 4.0 riser cable (which just barely fits, and is the longest ITX one they make). Mobo was a Crosshair VIII Impact with a 5600g. RAM is a Corsair LPX 16gb (2x8gb) 3600mhz C14 kit. Storage total is 13 TB. Breakdown is as follows: 3tb of NVME storage, 6tb 3.5 WD Black 7200rpm HDD, and 4tb Samsung QVO 2.5 SSD. GPU is a PNY XLR8 3060 ITX. Cooler is a EK D-RGB 280mm, which I might downgrade to a 120mm AIO in the future given that’s it’s massively overkill for my CPU.
Any other questions or comments please let me know! I can take more pics as well if anyones interested.
Sure! I used this matte black washi tape. Washi tape is nice because it leaves little to no residue.
Ohh, also, if you wanna get away from the brass you can get anodized aluminum standoffs. They come in different colors and sizes. Just make sure you get dark red or dark blue if going that direction. Otherwise they’re more pink and baby blue, respectively.

It's just a generic headset holder I got off Amazon. I put magnets on so it would stick to the case and be removable
This is the one I got in particular:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JYHKY95/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
But there are tons of them out there, Amazon, AliExpress, etc. of various sizes and accessories. This one is a little bare bones, I also had to get the HDMI to mini HDMI and the USB-C to micro USB (both 6" length) for it. I like this one because it doesn't have any extra enclosure around it, so it is pretty slim, slim enough to fit between the PSU and the panel with the PSU set back.
This one works for me and it says it’s 1.4

I bought this adapter InLine® DisplayPort 1.4 Adapterkabel ST/BU, 8K4K, rechts gewinkelt, schwarz/Gold, 0,15m https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08NXNVKJG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_K8EGJ41MV366NVWYSS36?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and cut the black housing of the side where the metal bar is. Works perfectly and you can access the cables form behind the case. I'm using it with an msi gaming x trio and can access 2 dp ports that way.
Thanks for your advice here. I have the stand off mods on both motherboard and GPU, would you recommend the 18cm or 20cm one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097CH2TV7/?th=1) ?
Although 20cm is like $5 cheaper too. What you think?
that recommeded standoff kit is out of stock. will this do? https://www.amazon.com/HELIFOUNER-Pieces-Female-Standoff-Assortment/dp/B08HN5PJS5/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=m3+standoff&qid=1634639863&qsid=141-0786431-1692145&sr=8-4&sres=B06Y5TJXY1%2CB08HN5PJS5%2CB07MQ5LFKR%2CB07B4S473N%2C...
i dont want to buy the wrong one
Would there be enough space in the case to use a regular cable with such an adapter? Or is the spine of the case in the way?
