Hey guys,
I've been looking at downsizing my rigs foot print and have been obsessed with small form factor cases.
I had done a ton of research and was torn between the Hadron Air and the FT03-MINI.

I eventually decided on the FT03-mini and picked up a Z87N-wifi to complete the build.

I ultimately decided on this case for the challenge of trying to stuff my GTX780, TX750M and H70 in there.
here are some pics of the completed build

Hope you guys like it! :)

In case anyone is interested, I has some time this weekend on play around with clocks.
I was able to get 4.4 on 1.356v and +100/100 on the 780 in this compact case.
Prime stable for an hour, cpu 84c max temp(88c loading out the GPU at the same time)

My 4670k is a pretty poor clocker, even on the Z87X-OC
The 780 does get quite noisy when pushed, I need to figure out how to get more cold air in, or move more hot air out.

This was a picture of prime 95 and ACIV(ultra, 8xMSAA) both running for about 30 mins

Finally found this build :)
just got myself the case, but having trouble selecting VGA Card
you post prove the GTX 780 can fit in it if you cut the bottom part a bit :) thanks.

can you also post aditional sides of your build, that will be very helpful

That's the best looking case ever made in my opinion. I would never have the cohones to build in one. Way too tight. You literlaly fill every cubic centimeter of it with nerd-porn and then put the sides back on.

Beautiful case. I like how you sliced the bottom to fit your 780.

Here is the top view and the other side that was no visible.
The fourth side is not removable

Congrats on the purchase, hope this helps with your gfx card choice
good luck
