Would’ve been perfect…
Update: please note that this review is for the *NV10* model. ********************************************************************* This is the first SFF pc I built and the most beautiful looking one, by far. I have a secondary work desk in my bedroom and this thing looks awesome on the desk, fitting nicely into the environment like a piece of furniture. I would’ve given it 7 stars instead of 4 if not for the faulty riser cable, which took me 3 times as long to figure out the problem, as if building my first SFF pc was not challenging enough. Several observations: 1. The space is very limited, and some of the YouTube videos didn’t show the most challenging part of the process, for a reason. Make sure you watch multiple of them. 2. Not all riser cables are created equally. I ended up buying a premium PCIE 5.0 cable after reading multiple Reddit stories of the riser cable causing trouble both when building the pc and later on. The new cable is 14cm long, double reverse. The total length of the new cable is 16cm, longer than the original cable’s 14.5 cm, but it fit just fine because the new cable is more flexible. My research also indicates that only the newest generation of the cable I bought would fit with thinner PCB board and flexible mounting hole positions, so I paid $20 more for the new gen. 3. Even though the instruction menu says that the case can only house PSUs up to 150mm long, if you buy one of the modular PSUs where connections are perpendicular to the PSU, you can use a longer one, like I did! A seller on a different platform told me that the PSU he was selling wouldn’t fit my case because it is longer than 150mm. After installing a similar model from Amazon, I can say with confidence that the seller was wrong, because mine has been working beautifully inside this elegant case without any issues. One recommendation to JONSBO - this case deserves a better riser cable, and I personally don’t mind paying for a better cable.
