====== Shiny Snake S400 + clones ======

Thought I might start a FAQ / KB thread while I'm rebuilding my Streaming System in the Shiny Snake / Miningeek Neo S400.

====== Variations ======

  * Shiny Snake S400 - the original
  * Miningeek Neo S400; available in black or white
  * KXRORS S400; also available in black or white

===== Known case versions =====

  * V1 - apparently a 9.9L version - 320 x 220 x 140 mm (L x H x W)
  * V2 - the current 10.8L version found on Amazon - 340 x 205 x 155 mm (L x H x W)

===== Cooling options =====

  * Air cooling: Any LP CPU cooler that stays below 67 mm (fan included)
  * AIO: 120 mm / 140 mm radiator on the GPU side + short GPU (less than 200 / 160 mm)

===== PSU format =====

  * SFX - any known PSU brands should fit, eg. the Cooler Master 750 / 850, Corsair SF600 / 750, Lian Li etc.
  * SFX-L - [[https://geizhals.de/fractal-design-ion-sfx-gold-650w-sfx12v-l-fd-psu-ion-sfx-650g-bk-a2163588.html|Fractal Design Ion SFX Gold 650W SFX-L]] fits


===== GPU setup =====

Should come with a PCIe 3.0 dual-reverse Riser cable, with a length of 200 mm (170 mm cable + connectors). Longer cables might lead to issues, as there is also no option for a GPU standoff mod, because the PCI slots are very rigid and widely spaced. Only additional modifications of the case frame itself would allow for better alignment options.

Moving the GPU into the outer 2 + 3 slot position is not a real option, as the side panel will interfere with the GPu fan shroud, even with an true dual-slot GPU.
