Most Recent Build
The power button was replaced for a more unique look.
Them sweet RGBs
The LED bar from the GPU had to be removed to make it fit.
Talking about RAM clearance. Replaced the 92mm with a 120mm slim fan for better cooling.
The small flex in one of the adapters was fixed by straitening the cable.
The old config with the small-tophat still attached.
The Ghost
I used my NFC S4mini for quite some time now but now this will be my main rig.
This is the final destination after shrinking my big tower into a mid tower and now into this. The only part that survived from the old system is the GPU, everything else wouldn't fit.
Not much else to say other than I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I managed to get rid of the small top-hat by using some DIY PCIe power adapters. I had to use a slim PCB to make them fit. There should be 'enough' space (< 1mm) to they don't touch the top grill, I isolated them with some tape for safety anyways.
I also had to remove the GeForce LED logo and the rest of the RGB LEDs on the GPU cooler to make it fit.
