When this case released I couldn't wait to build in it. I love the challenge ITX cases present, and knew that aesthetics would be crucial for any build in this case. On my first attempt I used a Sapphire Nitro+ 6700 XT, which promptly thermal throttled. I found that any GPU bigger than a 3060 or so just wasn't an option due to the poor airflow. After a couple more attempts I settled on just putting the case on a shelf as decoration.

Over the next two years I got better with ITX cases. More importantly, I started doing custom watercooling. When a client offered me this EKWB Lignum set, my brain immediately made the connection. It took a LOT of blood, sweat, and Dremel cutting discs to make it work, but I finally got a high-end build to work in it. There are notes on the photos describing what was done; if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment or DM me.
