Zotac 4070 Ti Trinity OC. Bottom and top rear fans have metal grills added to keep cables/AIO tubes out of them.
First time doing a 12VHPWR cable. Still need to get some 16-pin cable combs, just used 12-pin this time.
Strix B760-I, 13600K, DDR5-5600. RGB controller mounted behind the PSU with fan and RGB cables shortened/re-pinned.
All cables sleeved with MDPC_X. Please forgive the different colors, my vendor doesn't have the micro sleeving in black yet.
All front panel connectors used, included the hot swap drive.
Bottom compartment. Was an absolute tangled mess at first. Made a 4" SATA power cable for the hot swap bay. Cut and put a 6-pin connector directly on the SATA power cable for the RGB controller.

Overview and thoughts on build
Built primarily for gaming. I wanted to do an ITX build with all current gen hardware. I had a Q58 I bought for a previous build but ended up not using. It's a great looking case with decent thermals, I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
Cable management can be pretty tight, especially if you have to use the new 12VHPWR adapter + stock PCIe cables. I make all my own cables, and I'd definitely recommend using custom cables when building in this case. I also made short SATA power cables for the RGB controller and the hot swap bay, which eliminated any excess cables under the PSU. This allowed me to install a fan in the bottom slot and have most of its airflow unobstructed, which helps with GPU temps.
Under gaming load, the GPU stayed in the upper 60s max. CPU was running upper 70s to low 80s. Cinebench 23 all-core really hammered the CPU - it maintained a solid 5.1 GHz until bumping against 100C, so it had some mild thermal throttling. I switched the panels, putting the mesh panels on top and the glass on the bottom (pics were taken before this swap). This brought temps down about 5C, eliminating the throttling.
Unfortunately, the B760 chipset doesn't allow overclocking and blocked undervolting in Intel XTU. You may be able to undervolt in the bios, but I couldn't figure it out. Since temps ended up ok I didn't worry about it.
Only hardware concern I have is the Galahad cooler seems to have a really high failure rate. I won't be using them in any future builds, and wouldn't recommend them to anyone until Lian Li addresses the issue. Everything else was great, very smooth setup from a software perspective.
Edit: Since custom cables are so helpful on SFF builds like this, I thought I'd add a note about them. When I make cables the wires vary in length since they're cut to conform to the curves they take, but can give you a general length that would work if you were ordering a set.
EPS - 10" / 260 cm
24-pin - 9" / 240 cm
12VHPWR - 16' / 42 cm (would be basically the same for PCIe cables, but may vary depending on length of the card)
To further clean things up, I cut the SATA power cable on the hot swap bay down to about 2-3", and made a single 4" SATA power cable to reach over to it. On the RGB controller (mounted behind the PSU) I cut the SATA connector off its power cable, shortened it to about 3", and put ATX pins and a 6-pin connector on it - it now just plugs directly into the PSU.
