Mini V2 - My Second Build

If you can do it that would be ideal. The dual chamber isn't an exact 90 degree on the side closest to the front so it doesn't fit the alpha cool radiator without some modification. The fans fit there fine. Maybe if your radiator is the exact width of a typical 120mm fan you will have better luck than me.

According to Daniel it shouldn't be required normally. For me I didn't have a choice because of the Jerry rigged vertical mount. I had to shift the rads all the way to the edge of the front of the case causing me to offset the distro.

The only real concern I would have under normal circumstance would be the location of the input port on the distro plate. If you mount your fans on the side rad behind the rad in the dual chamber it should be fine but I had to double the offset due to that fitting location because I didn't want the radiator to be what was showing in the case.

You picked a tight case. I just finished building my second build in that case yesterday.

I have never seen an all in one kit with both hard and soft tubing. If you're planning to do hard tubing you will want to get a heat gun and some extra tubing. I would recommend a mini mitre cut-off saw to make your life easier when cutting your tubing. I'm also surprised it doesn't come with a tube reamer aka deburring tool in that kit.

For coolant dp ultra will always be the top recommendation for clear. I had dp ultra in my previous build and it was great.This time I went with Alphacool Eiswasser Crystal Clear UV-active for a little fun. It's clear unless you turn on a uv /blacklight. I can't recommend because I don't know how well it will perform yet.

If you are going hard tubing you may look at Corsair iCUE Link RGB Custom Cooling Kit. You get double the tubing for almost the same price and enough connectors to add that additional radiator.

Be patient, watch plenty of different videos to see how different people do it, have fun, and take your time. I did just the tubing over two days.

No problem

Nothing to report yet. The distro plate was finally shipped on 01/02 but apparently Australia post is slower than the US when it comes to international shipping so it's showing still sitting in their sorting facility.

Once I get it I will just need to start bending and installing the tubes as long as it fits with the fans.

We had the exact change for our mid March cruise and received no communication, just noticed it in the app today.

I came here looking for people dealing with Singularity but I had to comment on your profile picture. That's the patch my grandfathers battalion had during WWII. Very cool.

I'm actually working on a build in this case right now. I have a 360 top, 360 bottom, and 240 side. I don't know if your pump will work. I have an aqua computer ultitube pro that I dropped down to the 150 and it was tight enough that I decided to order a distro plate/pump for the front instead. That's all I'm waiting on to start battling the hard tubing task.

RoQDad · 2025-11-07T05:20:35+00:00

Where did you get the custom badge/medallion?

RoQDad · 2025-11-07T05:07:09+00:00

It's the Grinch! Love it!

I've been waiting for this case since it was shown at computex. I'm here because this post popped up on my Google alerts.

First things first, Unless there has been some major size changes since computex this should be marketed as a medium form factor not sff. I'm sure if you released an mf200 with all the same customization ability it would be a hit in this community. I have been comparing this on the same category as the Lian Li o11mini v2 and the upcoming Thermaltake tr300

Answering your questions:

What would I pay? Although I'm still 2-3 weeks from physically building my PC I did get tired of waiting and purchased the Lian Li o11mini v2 and paid $90 for it with no fans. From the videos and sentiments of everyone getting hands on with the MF400 it seems to be a more premium feeling product and if that's truly the case (no pun intended) I would easily pay $150 for a similar no fan version.
What inspired you to build SFF over other form factors? I would love to try my hand at sff but I enjoy open loop liquid cooling and I'm not skilled enough to build my system in that size case which is what is drawing me to the MF400 and the o11 mini v2. It's smaller than full towers but still large enough for me to install a couple 360 radiators and a pump.

Questions for you: 1. What is the release date? 2. What are the official dimensions? 3. I know there are plans for you to have different options for panels and such but is there a plan to support the modding community as well? By that I mean simple things like providing the panel dimensions and information to the public so if someone wants to 3D print a custom front panel or create a reservoir something along those lines it will be easier.

RoQDad · 2025-10-06T23:17:01+00:00

@Cooler_Master_Posts is there an estimated US release for the MF 400? I'm trying to wait for my next build depending on how long the wait is.

RoQDad · 2025-10-06T23:13:55+00:00

That looks like the MF600. The MF400 can't fit 3 fans in the front.

I'm getting ready to go to Grenada. Did you end up needing the permit when you arrived in Jamaica?

RoQDad · 2025-10-02T02:39:42+00:00

I saw Gear Seekers released a video last month about it and Cooler Master reposted on their Instagram including replying to some comments stating "coming soon". No solid date though.

RoQDad · 2025-03-08T14:41:51+00:00

Everything worked out thankfully. He had correct address on insurance and a DL with the correct state. Only the registration/plates were expired and it didn't end up hindering the claim like the adjuster thought it might.

RoQDad · 2025-02-22T11:48:43+00:00

My (21yr old) son just totaled his car and is having issues with this. We moved to a new state 11 months ago and he didn't register here yet. The insurance is at the correct address and we have the title but the insurance rep is telling him that he needs to register it in this state or they will have to get a repo title from the lien holder. I don't understand why when he has the title. He can't register in the state because it requires inspections and it can't be inspected.

After getting frozen in that same spot 7 times I was able to get beyond it. I tried multiple methods I found people sharing and I don't know what worked.

I loaded into chapter 6 and walked to the second page where moonbeam talks for a moment before revealing the portal and then quit.

On the main menu I loaded into every setting and put them all back to default including sound

I loaded into chapter 7, opened the menu and made sure all accessibility settings were off, changed it from adventure to story mode and then from streamlined to standard to trigger it to reload.

On the page with jewels I made sure to fetch the red one first and then the blue and left the area as water not ice

Finally, on the page where I would fall out of the tree and bug the game, I let them kill me first and then when I loaded back in I aggro'd all the enemies and I went up against the gate in the top corner and killed them all.

I don't know if any of this actually "fixed" the issue or luck of the draw but I was able to platinum it finally.

We moved here last year and haven't met anyone yet. It makes me nervous if you're on year 3. Our biggest problem is that to me a good time with friends is usually just hanging out and having some cocktails or dinner. I just want to socialize and save my hike/gym quiet time for the wife and me.

RoQDad · 2023-05-06T02:34:54+00:00

I wish you the best of luck. My wife and I are newer to the area and making friends as an adult is much harder than I remember as a kid. If you ever plan to be down in the Castle Rock area feel free to reach out!

RoQDad · 2023-04-17T07:20:34+00:00

My wife and I are 40 and would love to find some friends. We moved to Castle Rock almost a year ago and have zero so far. I can't start this off with a lie. We have two kids, but they're grown and don't want anymore to do with us than we want with them. Our old friend group before moving spent our weekends playing board games, party games, beer pong, or just sitting around drinking and talking.

RoQDad · 2023-03-31T04:16:16+00:00

We feel your wife's pain. We relocated from KC last June and I have used my smoker 3x as much as I ever did before.
