This 15L SFF case can fit a FULL SIZED PC - SSUPD Meshroom S

hey gear singers i'm nick today we're checking out a case that you guys have requested today we're checking out the sunny side up designs mushroom s and we're gonna do exactly what you guys have asked us to do with it we are going to build an atx system in this small form factor case so if you want to see this thing come together and learn a little bit about this case make sure you stick around and while you're here hit the subscribe button and please double check that your notifications are turned on because youtube's broken [Music] let's do it [Music] let's start off with panel removal there's these little cutouts here that you can put your fingers in and kind of use it to pull the panels off but i found already with playing around with this case a bit is that it's really hard to actually get in there and pull the panels off because i'm going to say because this is an early sample of the case the tolerances aren't quite the same as the retail version basically all the panels are moved the same way you can use your thumbs to push up the panels and lastly this side panel here i'm going to push from the inside and away there we go there are quite a few ways to mount radiators and fans in this case in fact there's just too many different types of combinations but as you can see here on the right hand side you do have these brackets here to mount a radiator awesome fans i'll put all the specifications on your screen right now if you're interested all of this can be found on the product page for this as well because this case has been out for a couple weeks now i figured we'll just go over a couple of these things just to kind of give you guys an idea of the differences really between this and the meshlicious now in terms of the front radiator support we're actually seeing the same compatibility that we saw with the meshlicious with up to a 280 ml radiator with the tubes facing down now this is the recommended configuration for this case and i would also recommend that you put your fans in exhaust to push air out the front of the case we've done extensive testing with the mesh licious already and i'll put a link to our reviews in the description down below we've tested with both air coolers and liquid coolers something to mention with this case as well depending on the configuration you go with which we'll get into in a moment is you can actually install a fan on the top of this case which was not the case for the meshlicious however it does need to be one of those 12 and a half mil thick slim fan so you can't use a regular fan up the top this looks like a typical small form factor case however you can install an atx motherboard in here you can install an atx power supply in here you can't do both at the same time although there has been reports of people being able to pull it off i would recommend against doing that you can also go m80x if that's your cup of tea we will be going atx for this build to show you how to make something like that fit the internal layout is broken down into two modes really so we've got the three slot gpu mode or the four slot gpu mode depending on how thick your gpu is and the motherboard size and cool size you're going to be using this is currently in the default configuration which is in three slot mode and this will allow you to install a obviously a three slot gpu with a maximum gpu length in three slot mode of 322 millimeters in length and if you're going to be going four slot mode you can do 336 millimeters in length but make sure you take into account that you will lose some of that clearance if you decide to lower the gpu or make the gpu higher with these brackets here much like the meshlicious there is an included pcie gen4 riser cable here but this riser cable can only be used if you're installing an itx motherboard there is an optional riser cable if you decide to go down the m80x or atx path with the mesh room because we're going to be building an atx build in this case i'm actually going to go ahead and remove the riser cable that comes in the case for power supply support the mesh room s supports up to an atx power supply it also supports sfx and sfxl power supplies and you can see that this bracket here is removable with these three screws to allow you to expand the compatibility depending on your layout so typically if you're doing an itx setup you can quite easily do an atx psu but if you're going for either the m80x or atx root i would suggest sfx power button for the mesh room is on the back of the case here as opposed to the top of the case that we saw on the meshlicious for the top panel io we've got a usb type-c port and two usb type-a ports and we have the appropriate connectors to plug into your motherboard of choice as well because we're not going to be going through all the specs of this case as mentioned we do need to make a few preparations to build an atx system in this so one of the first things we need to do is change the mounting for the gpu mounting at the bottom of the case and this is actually quite simple it's just a matter of removing the mounting bracket to actually screw the gpu in and all we're going to do is move it to a new location [Music] we also need to move this to the location to support the gpu as well [Music] now when we put the gpu in you can see that it has a place to mount while i'm here i'm going to install the gpu it's going to make it a little bit easier if i do this now rather than later now i've decided to go with the rtx 3060 founders edition mainly because of the size and i don't really have anything on hand at the moment to use that is a bit larger for this type of installation the next thing i'm going to do is install the motherboard the way you do this is through the front of the case and it will only require five screws i'll show you how this works and something that i noticed while i was test fitting a little bit earlier as well so loading in the motherboard is fairly straightforward push it in through the front of the case it doesn't go in nicely through the side and i wouldn't recommend doing that so what we're going to do now is then just fasten the motherboard to the case this is where i actually found something out that was quite interesting if you look very very closely you'll see that the edge of the motherboard actually protrudes out the front of the case which isn't ideal until you realize when you install the front panel back onto the case it actually adds a bit of additional clearance the motherboard does in fact sit all the way up against the front of the mesh panel there i wanted to mention that after a little bit of fan dangling with the riser cable actually got it to fit in the top slot anyway and i think that's what they meant by the second slot down is actually the location of a regular pcie slot is usually on the second slot down for atx as mentioned i would recommend a sfx power supply we're using one of the newly only ones this is an 850 watt 80 plus gold power supply now with the riser cable installed you need to put a bit of pressure on it to kind of bend it behind and it's got to drop behind the panel power supplies installed now that all of the power is run for the system you probably also would have noticed that i didn't install any ram and this was on purpose the ram will be the last thing i'll install on the motherboard just because of the cable clearances here and we need to do a bit of cable management and if the ram was installed it would have just got in the way so i would also suggest you doing that last well almost last if you're building with an atx board in this case so we need to remove this top bracket here yes you can build in a different order but from my test fitting this is the way that i found to do this the easiest basically once you've got almost everything already installed you want to remove this top bracket here and this basically just allows you to slide in the radiator from the top [Music] there we go right and once we get that a little bit further down the holes for the radiator will actually line up with these holes along this edge here for the fan orientation from my testing that i've already done i would recommend that you set it to exhaust now once we've got the radiator installed if you use a flat pump top like this one here you should actually be able to feed it through the gap here now also be aware that if it's not as flat as this pump top you can remove this bracket to feed it through as well the reason why i'm using the one that i'm using here is for the sake of it being very very easy [Music] also notice i didn't put the pump top that comes with this cooler on the cooler just so i can get nice clean tube runs down here and this just makes a little bit easier for putting that side panel on now this is a case that you're not going to be looking inside of anyway because it's completely mesh so realistically it doesn't make too much of a difference but let's put all the panels back on and just show you how all of this actually fits in even though a little bit hangs out so clip the front panel on the rear panel put that back on again here's why i decided not to use the pump top cover for this cooler and lastly the top of the case and how's that ladies and gents a small form factor full atx pc it honestly doesn't have any business being this small [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] uh [Music] [Music] so [Music] all right let's take a look at the thermals for the mushroom s in this atx configuration with this 240 ml liquid cooler what you're seeing on your screen right now is the thermals are okay as i mentioned earlier in the video you are quite limited with the layout meaning that there's almost no place to intake other than a small sliver of an intake on the back side of the case with the exhausting all of that hot air right out the side now as i mentioned if you switch that to intake the temperatures are significantly worse and we see cpu throttling however in this configuration with the fan set to exhaust we didn't see it throttle at all and that's the meat and potatoes of the thermal testing okay i'll put a pc part piccolis down below in the description so you can prove that list but what about the mushroom s now there's a few things that i noticed with this case the first thing is the power cable that you use for the power button to run to the motherboard for an atx build isn't really that long and they could have added say an extra 10 centimeters to this cable or even 5 centimeters and it would have been much easier to route i had to route this over the top side of the motherboard if this was a little bit longer i could have run it behind the motherboard behind the cooler and up around so it could have been a bit cleaner but you know beggars can't be choosers right the build quality of this case is much the same as we saw with the mesh lucious so no real surprises here i gotta say that the fitment of the panels is a lot tighter which makes it a lot harder to pull the panels off i actually noticed this with some meshlicious cases that we had so we've got a bunch of them i feel like this is something that is really inconsistent with these cases if i've got to be brutally honest and if i've got to be really picky there is another atx configuration that we could have done in this case which actually adds an extra panel so you can do a 360 mil radiator up the front but we never got sent that so we couldn't show you guys that type of configuration now i gotta say again i said this with the meshlicious having right angle connectors for plugging in cables in this case i do not like it i had to use a right angle display port cable that i had i can't even use the one that came with this case so if you're building with the atx layout most gpus will have that hdmi port towards the side of the gpu which is covered by a panel you could use some tin snips and cut that out and the funniest thing is when you look at the bottom of that panel there's no reason for that part to be there blocking it anyway so maybe they can make a revision to that but it is a little bit frustrating but overall the mushroom s is a very very cool case put it this way guys this is a full atx system with liquid cooling in a case that is about 15 liters in capacity this case is smaller than a lot of other small form factor cases in this class but it allows a full atx motherboard let me repeat that a full atx motherboard there are quite a few compromises but i think if you're going for something like this the compromises are definitely worth it now if you're interested in getting your hands on one of these cases from sapdi the mushroom s is going for around 169 us dollars at the time of filming this video and i'll put the aussie price on screen right now for those aussies out there who want to grab themselves this case and if you love small form factor cases there's some videos right here you can watch that'll put you in the right direction for other small form factor builds that we've done here on the channel
