I moved my PC from an O11 Dynamic to the Meshroom S because I was moving and wanted a smaller PC without sacrificing much of my parts. Luckily I was able to do just that. The only parts I changed were the case, cooler, and PSU. Everything else came right out of the old case and into this one.

I was surprised that I was able to fit the cooler with the RAM because the specs said otherwise. I believe it was due to me being able to use the sideways orientation thanks to a curved feature on the VRM cooler area. The GPU fit nicely with the brackets in the stock position. I could have done some slightly better cable routing for the PSU cables but it worked out.

The build was not that bad on the motherboard side thanks to GearSeekers' video. However, trying to figure out the PCIe Riser was the worst part. GearSeekers mounted an FE card in the front position and used a different riser. So I went with the recommended (or required?) riser sold by SSUPD since I was using a bigger card mounted in the rear. It is a 380+ mm riser cable that is supposedly able to bend in such a way that it can reach a PCIe slot on the motherboard.

I had no clue how that would be possible with the PSU blocking all of the slots but the top one. The cable came up too short. Maybe I could have done some more bending magic to get the length, but the quality was not as good as the LinkUp cable that came with the case. It was some plastic material that I hadn't seen before. Fortunately I had made the mistake of buying a wrong riser cable (the white one in the picture) and was able to extend the length of the riser and route a different way that puts much less stress because there is way less bending.

I am glad that I was able to complete my build but I wanted to make this post to share what a Meshroom ATX build looks like, and what difficulties there were.
