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.
