Recommended Components
Motherboard
The Motif Monument is designed to be compatible with Mini-ITX motherboards.
We recommend using a board with two M.2 ports as there is little room for
a 2.5” SSD. It is possible to install a 2.5” SSD behind the motherboard or
backplate, but it is not recommended.
CPU Cooler
The chassis was designed with moderately sized air coolers in mind. The bequiet!
Dark Rock TF or similar provide excellent cooling in an appropriately sized form
factor. There is no aesthetically pleasing configuration for closed loop CPU
coolers or custom water cooling, however we encourage users to experiment
with different solutions.
RAM
As this design is best suited for air coolers, use a relatively low profile RAM that
will fit underneath your CPU cooler. We had success with Corsair Vengeance
RGB.
GPU
While any 2 slot GPUs can be mounted, it is highly recommended to use a small
form factor GPU. The chassis is approximately 7” wide, using a significantly
longer GPU may look unbalanced. Three slot GPUs are not guaranteed to fit
well, especially if you intend on running the GPU power cable underneath it.
PSU
The mounting holes on the PSU flange are compatible with SFX PSUs. Only use
fully modular PSUs as custom cables are recommended to make a clean build
on this chassis.
Power Cables
This case was designed to use custom sleeved PSU cables. In our production
prototypes, we successfully used 60-70cm PSU cables, though it is highly
recommended that you take careful measurements with your own components
installed on the case. The backplate has plenty of room for cable management
clips to properly arrange the runs in an organized way. Feel free to cut, crimp,
and sleeve your own cables or buy professionally made cables and accessories
from third party vendors such as Cable Mod or Mainframe Customs
Power Button Mounting Hole
The Motif Monument does ship with an included button. There are a pair of
through-holes on the bottom right of the backplate that are specifically designed
for a 16mm momentary switch.
