Don't the polys on Vcore look a bit small???
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.

My PC: Core i3 4130 on GA‑H87M‑D3H with GT640 OC 2GiB and 2 * 8GiB Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, Kingston SA400S37120G and WD3003FZEX‑00Z4SA0, Pioneer BDR‑209DBKS and Optiarc AD‑7200S, Seasonic G‑360, Chenbro PC31031, Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3.

Nah, there's plenty more of them under the CPU Cooler. That wasn't what I did, though.

My only other guess is that you replaced the caps at VRM input.

Nope. Caps are all original. If you look very carefully near the Audio header, you may note that the Ethernet controller is missing (as well as some heat discolouration). It failed and shorted internally after a lightning strike, and the board wouldn't POST. After removing it with my hot air gun, the board came back to life (albeit without the onboard Ethernet working).

Nice review! Those are nice cases. I've built about 150 computers in them at work. Although the PSU's we get in ours are the IP-S400Dq3-2

The DQ3-2 variant is 80plus certified, so that's cool if you get those.

I also use those cases a lot when building PCs (usually, I use either them or the EM-035).
