Form & Function

Look maa, no desk.

This build is based on custom designed open air based computer case called AKDesigned Open Air X which is focused on function while keeping the aesthetic.
It combines best of both world for best cooling that is directional airflow of closed cases and access to unrestricted air of open air cases.

When functional is base then performance, quietness, expansion and aesthetics follows, all under 40L volume mounted to wall like a painting.

Open air cases are supposed to be dust magnets, but it runs so cool that cpu/case fans don't even spins most of the time (don't spin 75% of time during gaming like pubg ) and when they do they only run at 500rpm creating max 42dB sound during prime95 stress test.

Wonder how it performs ?
