Node 202 unfinished project consisting of :
1 x NODE 202 (R600), 1 x Corsair iCue H60i Liquid cooler (R1000), 1 x Fractal design SFX-L 650W power supply(R1500), 1 x Scythe 140mm PWM fan(R150), 1 x Scythe 120mm PWM fan (R100), 1 x 40mm PWM Noctua fan (R400).

This was a project to make a very compact system based on the Node 202.
**NB - The case has been cut slightly in the center to allow the liquid cooler head to fit through the gap. The sharp edges where sanded smooth.

The orientation is primarily vertical. Horizontal will not work in this case.

The remaining tasks to achieve are :
1. Install an ITX MB that will suite the liquid cooler head.
2. Find a space for an SSD if needed. (Included bracket not functional anymore)
3. Install mounting holes for the 140mm fan above the MB. (3D printer or glue)
4. Limitation on the GPU is PCI gen3.0 because of the included Riser.
5. Limitation on GPU length is 163mm. (Was considering removing the fan shroud of a Palit RTX 3060ti - Not sure of the recent cards out there.
6. Orientation of airflow is pulling in with the 140mm at the bottom and pushing out over the liquid cooler radiator/GPU fan at the top. There is also a small 40mm fan at the bottom for some added intake.

So this may or may not work. It looks ok in theory but perhaps using one of the newer cases (ie. Ridgeline) is a better bet, also for the Gen 4 pci.

Additional problems that need workaround may be found if the project is continued.
