  thanks... I checked it out before I posted but didn't see any "legit" postings. I only saw posts by sellers with zero ratings. Do you mind telling me which seller/store you got yours from?

  Bakit hindi napapag-usapan itong Sparkle 170M? Around P4,500 lang siya sa mga online mall.

  meron sa part ng PSU

  Dun din sa floor pwede isang 1 x 2.5

• Ignus on 21 Jun 22 @ 08:45 PM #

  ^Masyadong maliit yung ventilation sa bottom & rear panel (think Cooler Master Q300L/Q500L).
  
  May mesh version pa niyan na non-RGB pero sa mainland China pa lang nilalabas. Baka yun mas mag-click.

• XtraRice on 22 Jun 22 @ 12:50 PM - User is online #

  ^ Meron ba siyang alternate name? Parang wala akong makitang kahit isang video or written review

  ^OEM yan nito:

  May details na, 28.8L lang, di hamak na mas compact sa Air/OL Mini.

  Muntik na hindi magkasya yung yung Liquid Freezer 2. Mabuti naka off-set yung 120mm mounting holes ng TD300. Buti nagbago isip ko, 240mm na lang imbis na 280mm.

  Paano kaya airflow ng aircooled setup nyang Sky One Mini? Rear intake doesn't seem viable due to the lack of a front-top fan, bali yung power supply lang ang e-exhaust ng heat.
  
  Bottom to rear airflow naman means your CPU cooler would be recycling air for the video card.
  
  Sure buy na sana sakin yan kung pwede mag 240mm rad sa taas.

  Rear intake fan + top exhaust fan could work for the Sky one Mini-- put a fan duct on the rear intake fan so that it blows directly onto the CPU cooler.

• XtraRice on 20 Jul 22 @ 01:11 PM - User is online #

  Yung PSU na lang mag-exhaust? Wala kasing fan slot sa ibabaw ng PSU tulad ng NR200 at IM01.

  No. Keep the top fan as exhaust (like in the photo you posted), then reverse the rear fan to make it an intake. Reverse the fan layout of the CPU tower cooler as well.
  
  Then, make an air duct from the rear intake fan to the tower cooler. This will ensure that the cool air from the rear will pass through the cooler first before getting sucked by the exhaust fan on top. If you design the air duct properly, you could even remove the fan on the CPU cooler itself.

  @XtraRice
  Depende nalang sa choice mo ng cooler. IMO hindi okay yung masyadong makapal for rear intake like DRP4 kasi mahaharangan nya yung top exhaust fan, hirap magexhaust ng GPU baka mahigop parin ng rear/middle mounted fan ng heatsink. Siguro okay Scythe Fuma 2, PA120, AK120 makakadaan parin freely sa RAM area yung GPU exhaust.
  
  
  IMO pwede namang rear exhaust unless naka 3080 FE ka, imaximize mo nalang with 140mm bottom intake and top exhaust.
  
  
  On another note, may local unboxing na ng AP201, pricing is as follows:
  Black Version: Php 5000
  White Version: Php 5150
  
  May similar case layout rin na nilabas recently ang In Win:

  Mesh version na lang ng VXM siguro kunin ko.
  
  Ang laki din pala nung AP201. 205 x 460 yung footprint. Mas malaki na sa TD300 ko.

  Halos same ba yan ng O11 Air Mini?

  Mas maliit ang VXM

• XtraRice on 22 Jul 22 @ 03:02 AM - User is online #

  Medyo worried lang ako sa top rad clearance. 63mm kasi total thickness ng Liquid Freezer II with the fans.
  
  Edit: RIP. Fans are going to hit the RAM slots and VRM heatink unless I use slim fans.

  anong mga AIO ang compatible kaya sa kanya? Tecware din ano?
