Hello

so far the plan have been to build a midtower build.
But then i stumbled upon the Node 304 and thought about if i could put all of my hardware in there and it still being able to breath without being noisy and everything.
I want a 8700k in there overclocked as much as the chip will let me without delied.
a Zotac 1080 AMP, will upgrade for a TI at some point.
as well as 2-3 SSD in there.
i am willing to buy high end fans like noctua for the whole case to get as as much air as possible in there.
it will be used for gaming and some hobby streaming at some point.

So does anyone have experience with this sort of build?
am i in over my head with this sort of build?
i just like the idea of a mini PC with a lot of power.
Also my rig is going to be in my living room so just to minimize the whole setup it would be nice.

thanks in advance.

I was able to just about get a 1080ti hybrid, with rad pushing out at the rear, and a 240mm AIO for my 7700k. It's a very tight case to work in but definitely manageable. I would suggest removing the disk trays and consider mounting 1 X SSD on the PSU, and 1 in the front panel section. I just used velcro which worked well. Check out some builds on pcpartpicker to give you an idea. If you can get a mini GPU that would help but not necessary
