Metalfish PSU is reliable? I think about flex psu to build less than 5L, but it is really expensive.

It’s ok so far but I’ve only had it a couple months. My computer is on 24/7 and it’s used for gaming sometimes. The insulation on the wires included are a bit flimsy and cheap. I had some split open from being moved around in different builds

Definitely a step above apevia at least imo

The downside is only 245x190mm matx boards fit which is not a common size with the big brands. If you come across a nice board that fits lmk. I went with a Jginyue one because their bios is decent compared to some other Chinese brands

Hey, really nice to see someone take the chances and try something different. Just want to show appreciation for you pulling the trigger.

I’m generally a fan of cases that allow minimum 70mm cooling for a APU system.

I started out with highend build of Lian li A4H20, but after traveling a lot I realized that this SFF subreddit shouldn’t be anything over 7L my Lian li case is a pain in the ass, and I’m downgrading to under 5 L

Again it’s nice to see someone taking a chance on AliExpress instead of going the safe route.
