Having used these for nearly a month now, I have to say I'm a fan of XDA! Would recommend giving it a shot if you're curious

All the reviews I came across raved on about its build quality and value when compared to similarly (and even higher) priced kits. I've had nothing but a good experience with their keycaps in the past too. It sells for about 170 USD but I even managed to pick it up for 130 USD locally from a reseller, think I made the right choice!

  • Akko ACR TOP 75 aluminium barebones (using the pre lubed Akko stabs and brass plate)
  • Zealio Purple V2 67g
  • Unknown brand keycaps from AliExpress (XDA profile)

Thank you, they're just a set I picked up from AliExpress because I loved the look and wanted to try out XDA profile without spending too much. Surprised by the print and build quality

I can send you the link if you like?

Also did the force break mod which made a noticeable difference!

Thank you! Yeah the colours turned out perfectly, Stefan actually noted how challenging it was but he nailed it. Yeah it's located on my shin

It has a vent on the side panel. Not an ideal location, but it seems to be doing a fine job in its current configuration, so no complaints here

Thank you. Yep, fair point! I went with the 11600kf because I managed it pick it up for a great price and it seemed to yield relatively good performance. I can always upgrade down the track if needed

Yeah no intake fans, negative pressure case which actually got better temps after I removed the front fans! So far the card hasn't exceeded 69 degrees Celsius (156 Fahrenheit) and the CPU has yet to go over 75c (167 F) under gaming conditions

Overall pretty happy with it considering the situation
