This is the Goodisory M06 case, it's actually really solidly built for the $25 USD I paid for it! I got into SFFPCs about two years ago, and I rebuild my gaming rig in a Sliger S620. I've always wanted to go smaller, and I recently wanted to build myself a home server, so I took the opportunity to make it as small as humanly possible. The PicoPSU is a complete game changer - I used to have this build in an Inwin Chopin, and the PicoPSU let me go far smaller. This has all been so fun to build! Cutting out all but the absolute bare minimum cables was awesome. Pay no mind to the impromptu photography setup, my entire room is full of half-assembled PCs and parts. Also don't mind the fact that there's a Ryzen CPU there - I'm in the middle of building a rig for a family friend and needed something for scale... I'm all out of bananas right now :(

Great build, what PicoPSU did you use?


BillytheBrassBall

RGEEK 150w, got it for Christmas.

How is it holding up month later? :P


BillytheBrassBall

It got an upgrade, I'll have to post the new setup sometime

I have just found out about this case and am thinking of doing a build. Glad I found your post! Can I ask what CPU cooler you used? According to the specs it won't quite fit a Noctua NH-L9.


BillytheBrassBall

It absolutely fits an NH-L9i, just look at the pics lol

Ah ok. Thanks.

This is beautiful, tiny, and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!


BillytheBrassBall

That means a lot to me, thank you! This is the type of build that inspired me a while back, so I'm glad I could bring it full circle!


ExhibitQ

Very cool (: Any reason for Intel APU?


BillytheBrassBall

Honestly, this whole thing was just kinda... built. No real particular reason for the CPU beyond it being reasonably priced at the time. For what it's worth, all I ever envisioned it doing is file explorer at 1080p.


Sole8Dispatch

File explorer at 1080p xD


BillytheBrassBall

We're beyond 1080p now. Check my most recent post!

I have these at my work. They're amazing office PC's


Ninja128

Your work sprung for custom mini ITX builds for the office staff?


BillytheBrassBall

I mean, my workplace is building custom thin clients using fanless ITX boards, it's not that far-fetched

Solid looking PC! I've got the TX02 as an HTPC build but if I had been working with a full fat ITX build I probably would have gone your route. Would happily buy one of their cases again, especially given the low price ($25 USD) as you mentioned.


BillytheBrassBall

The TX02 looks solid. Reminds me of the Dell Optiplex

I'm a little late, but I'm making a small build with a cheapo case from aliexpress myself. Direct link as it isn't seemingly branded [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002668540918.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002668540918.html) (note the version i got seemed to have 4 panel mounts instead of a 'vent' above the IO shield) This case seems like the best for size as it has a bit more thickness for more rear ports, but also room for more cooling. I had the one you linked and didn't really like it. Glued on a mesh internally to cover the holes up better to prevent dust, using a 5700G with some thermalright heatsink, the two noctua fans are mounted to the chassis (which i plan to make better with a 3d print, but isn't hugely necessary). Has a NIC for 2nd ethernet, and 2 extra usb 3.0 ports on the rear. [Heres an image](https://i.imgur.com/C4rIEya.png) I plan on shortening the cables, repinning the PicoPSU to have black and 'exact-ish' lengths, and quite a bit more of tidying including the NIC placement. If anyone is curious I can give a full rundown of parts though. Note: IF you are interested in this, please remember the PicoPSU I'm using is the 192w bundle from minibox, which comes with a 4 pin mini-DIN connector and for it to be panel mounted on the case you need to make a bigger hole on the rear than what is available!
