the really great thing is that the case fits also a 3060ti, combined with an SFX power supply there could be also quite silent cooling options

This hands down is arguably the best SFF PC I've ever come across. You can debate all you want about it missing features and room etc, but in terms of it's small size, it beats anything else. The fact that it STILL supports CPU swaps and a dual slot GPU is what makes this case so versatile. I'm sure we can expect an even better, updated version from Asrock in the future!

Just finished building my Asrock Desk Meet X300. All I can say about it one just ONE BIG WOW! I simply love it!

Honestly, considering the price, this looks like the perfect base to build a living room Steam Machine with HoloISO.

Rx 6400 is great card for 1080p. Fyi for games that dont natively support fsr like elden ring theres a setting in adrenalin drivers to enable it on all games in the global grafics tab then u set the grafics to anything lower than 1080p. And the driver scales it up to 1080p with fsr and a check box appears on ure screen when this feature is enabled.

Odd that they didn't use an SFX power supply, considering the form factor.

The only thing stopping me from buying this is the PCIe 3.0 graphics card slot. The intel version of this case supports pcie4.0 all round including the m.2 slot. I hope they come up with a AM5 version in the future

the Asrock RX 6600 XT Challenger ITX, would be a perfect pairing for that.. lol

I like my X300W and bought it as a special on release, but I wish AsRock had this available instead. I'm really happy they've done this.

Happy to be able to say that Newegg is now advertising the Asrock Deskmeet X300 for 189.99. At least as of this morning, they say it's in stock, limit 2 per customer.

You're not alone liking this card - I put a RX 6400 in my mini ITX build a few months ago, and I love it! It does everything I need and requires no extra power (helps with the cables clutter). Such a wonderful little thing.

Great little box but I think AsRock have missed the boat with it only being PCIe 3.0 and only one NVMe. I would've given up the third and fourth RAM slot & one SATA port for dual NVMe & 4.0. Surprised they went for full size ATX PSU and not SFF to get a bigger GPU in there.

I love that build, I actually saw your review of the Deskmini A300 and I decided to build it several years ago. I even got the Noctua low profile cooler you suggested. Now that become my son's computer but he's hitting a limit with some games with the Ryzen 2200g APU so when they announced a DeskMini that can take a graphics card I was interested and I happen to have a EVGA 1080ti but I quickly realized it would not fit. I ultimately went with a NZXT H1 which is great. Anyways love all your videos

3:03 minor clarification, pcie gen 4 and pcie gen 3, as opposed to x4 and x3 (referring to lanes) very tidy little box, i dig it.

As others will undoubtedly (or have already?) called out, and which you called out towards the end of the video, in a SFF case when you install the PSU with its intake fan closely facing the CPU's heatsink (intake) fan, the two are fighting for the same air which will likely compromise optimal airflow and cooling. They could have put mesh on the PSU side, and designed it to mount the PSU with the intake fan pointing outward rather than inward. Then all of the components would have been happy. SOOOO CLOSE! I know you say it did much better than you thought it would, but it'd be possible for it to be even cooler if they made a couple of simple design tweaks.

I just ordered one from Newegg. I have a Ryzen 5 5600 cpu, and an old sapphire pulse RX-470 card that should be just fine. I will use all 4 memory slots for 32g of 3200mhz ram.

Why in the world did they go with a full-sized ATX PSU and not an SFX PSU?

The case on the inside reminds me of the SG13 by sliverstone. Great video!

Bro your videos are getting more lit every day

Any indication of when this is actually available? It's good to see it physically existing, been following along waiting on it to drop after they announced it

Came here after checking that the Odin Loki has USB4 across all models, now we wait and see whether or not they have eGPU support.

RX 6650 XT will also fit in there. The Powercolor Challenger has 200mm. So must fit in there 😮

Welp I know what will be my next emulation mini beast! This looks amazing had the Asrock 300w way back when you did the review I loved it for my Ryzen 5 3400g now this will be everything I need for my emulation and pc gaming needs!

Please try a 3060, it won't be bottlenecked at gen 3 unlike the budget AMD cards.

Finally, we've got a new X300 board and case! Should be more available and cheaper than the Velkase Velka 3, if a bit bigger. With a 5700X, 3060 and 32 or even 64GB of(Overclocked) ram, it would be a tiny monster.

Cryorig c7 for cooling 😎 👌

That case design is a throw back to early 2010's Lian-li Q series cases.

I feel a particular fascination for Mini PCs like this. Such a shame the form factor is so expensive.

ETA Prime is living in the future, he is using windows 121 (Chapter 6)

Good vídeo Let me ask do you have the 3050, i would like to see this build with a 3050

Important: The included Power Supply has an intake fan, unlike standard exhaust PSU fans. It actually delivers fresh air straight into the CPU Cooler. If you swap to another PSU, cpu temperatures will increase.

You can go up to a 3060 which I've seen on this itx size so I'd be interesting to see if the case can handle them thermally since the 6400 is just much more adept at being used in cases with very poor ventilation since it's under half the power.

It's a great no nonsense SFF case, and for those that need a SFF PC right now it's a good deal. However for me I'm going to wait for the next gen AM5 versions of the DeskMate & DeskMeet models especially for the Deskmate with a RDNA2 APU. It'd be a waste of money to build now with it just around the corner.

Can u try there with asrock challenger 6600xt itx and ryzen 7 5700x with 32gb ram?

A little late with AM4, as for "only 8 liters" ... I have the 6900XT(!) and big Air Cooler @8.87L (video on my channel). The Desk Mini is great but the Desk Meet is kind of pointless.

Kinda wish they used a SFX PSU for this one

I know this suggestion is A LOT much and totally wasteful, but what about an A OUT build? Keep the case (or suggest a comparably sized one), sfx psu, better mobo, better cooling, max out the gpu and overkill the ram.

Imagine the sellout with the new 7940HS APU, with the option of adding a 200mm GPU.

*Desk Meat* ... I can't unhear it.

Would like to see it with a Ryzen 5700 and RX6600

I saw 4 dimm slots on that tiny board and my head exploded.

this looks just like a short silverstone sugo sg13, even with the same layout

I'd love to see this thing with an RTX 3060!

The 6400 is good for very small cases, but considering that this case has enough room for dual slot cards, the 6400 isn't a great choice. The 6400 loses around 20-30% of its performance when running in PCI-E 3.0 due to it only being a 4X card, which isn't something it can afford.

I really hope that i can get a mini pc like that one day

I really like that your showing the same tests on your projects like Forza Horizon 5. +ETA PRIME For reference: I play it myself on a small HP Pavilion 595 system that I got used for 260 €. It has a Ryzen 2600 and a GTX 1050 (2GB) and with that I play FH5 at 1080p, medium preset with 45 fps avg. Also the 3D Mark Night Raid I got 28850 on the graphics score. So I got what I payed for and this little silver case is looking not bad. So thank you for your inspiration and testing all these years. Wanted to have a smaller Ryzen build since your first videos with that 2200/ 2400G. And for those who are on the budget: a used PC like 3-4 years old is a good way to start ... I looked for the older Desk Mini at my local used market but for a smaller build with same performance you can easily pay double. This Desk Meet should easily cost triple (700 - 800 bucks?). My HP Desktop is getting a smaller GPU upgrade like a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB or RX570 4GB (when the 310 Watt PSU lasts), but over all it's a cute little system.

Ryzen 5600+asrock itx 6600XT should be good on this

You show me these neat little boxes a day late. I just got these parts on order. K49 case $99 Silver stone sx500G $60 Gigabyte b450i $75 Ryzen 5 5600g $155 16GB $45. Future GPU pending price drops but aiming for a rtx 3060 ti.

Nice build!

I built 2 roughly similar size pc's with itx, 5900x, 2070, sfx/atx psu's, with 60mm and 92mm exhaust fans but i had more control over it. I have the A300 and X300 deskmini's however, i would not buy this simplye because the thermals might not be great and you might as well build one your self with the perfect case which you can find on Ali express and that case would last a life time instead of using the deskmeet.

The case design is really nice.

Just get an k39 case, half the size, and you can have pcie 4.0. The atx psu in this x300 is just ridiculous big.

Looks cooler than the DeskMini.

Needs a mesh panel and a fan to be perfection. COuld squeeze a good bit more performance out of it with just a tiny bit of modifications.

This is a great little box, i might try to pick one up. I just wish there was a miniPC slightly larger than the Mac Mini with a design similar to the Lenovo Tiny, HP Mini, or Dell Micro. Sure it would need a proprietary 20V/O motherboard like the Lenovo, HP, and Dell mini PCs of this size, but i'd just love to throw in a single slot low profile RX 6400 along side say a 5600, 5700G(with some 5000Mhz RAM for that iGPU) or 12400/12600K(if you want those extra E cores) Its kind of cool that HP is sort of going this way as i think the 805 G6 had a 4750GE, paired with a 1660TI mobile, in a mac mini sized PC thats alot of performance. I have a Lenovo M75Q and while there is no option for a GPU, there is an unpopulated 16x PCIe through hole slot space, you could in theory just order a PCIE 16x header, and use a ribbon to attach a GPU Every time i hear Asrock Challenger i am reminded of out Esports team that was sold machines with undisclosed RX 5700XT. Those Asrock Challenger D cards would thermal throttle so bad, even with an open case, that it performed closer to an RX 6600XT, Normally this card is 200-225w 1700Mhz "base clock" (i've never seen a normal card under 1800Mhz even in a stress test, my personal one will sit at 2Ghz all day in furmark, and in gaming you'd normally expect over 2Ghz). But according to AMD driver suite, all 6 of these Challenger D RX5700XT were so bad that it slowed down to 125w 1300Mhz, and only got to 1605Mhz in real world gaming, not even reaching its base clock. I think this was due to the card basically having a single slot cooler, with a shroud of plastic to make it look like a dual slot cooler. Honestly, the cooler would have been awesome if it were sold as a single slot card with a 5700/5600 die instead of a full 5700xt, but it wasnt. The card would have also probably been great if it used all of the space it had for heat pipes and cooling fins, but it didnt.

Wonder if there would be a case there the pcie slot is outside the case, leaving the gpu in a open-air like bench and the rest of components inside the case.

You can get single fan 3060s that can fit in this case and it only needs a 450W PSU, this little computer would be a wee beastie with one of those in it.

Is there a wiggle room for GPU length? I have one RTX 2060 card that is dual slot, but 209 mm length, so 9 mm more than specified 200 mm max. So I am wondering if it could squeeze into this case.

This is like the second vaporware AsRock product you've shilled that I can't find a place to buy anywhere.

Would an EVGA 3050 - 3060ti fit in this. You stated 20CM GPU would fit, but the EVGA cards are 202mm. Wondering if the 2mm matters.

This seems like a really good little lan box or a good Media center setup

PSU should have been an SFX perhaps...

this is what i was waiting for O.O I have a 1660 ti itx version waiting to go in this bad boy *.* gonna couple it with a r5 5500

Was hoping a sfx psu for more cooling

This reminds me NeXTcube very much!

Love this kind of case Even if it's not really gaming material

These are finally in stock at Newegg. I did quite a bit of research on this unit while waiting for it to restock. FYI, the documentation states a max CPU TDP of 65W, so the max chip is a 5700X. Also, being PCIe Gen 3 may deter some people. However, the 5600G/5700G are Gen 3 chips, so there's no real performance lost with those APUs. Asrock calls the motherboard a "deep ITX" form factor. The front panel ports are attached directly to the motherboard. So, if you replace the motherboard with a mini-ITX board (which should fit), you'll have holes in the front panel.

MSI RTX 3060 Ti AERO ITX OC would be so good in this. Bloody hard cards to get though.

Yeah I would like to see 3060 inside of that little machine. See what type of power with draw, and Temps its would get and the frames in different games

Awesome little build! Would love to see it doing emulation 😁

Nice video! AFAIK the highest end GPU that would fit this would be something like the Sapphire RX 6600 Pulse, which is ~190mm and two slots. Should make for an excellent little gaming build :)

I'm diggin it too ETA Prime!!!

Extraordinary. Thank you.

cool to see a non pc builder guy expand his horizons. how many youtube videos did you watch to figure out how to install the ram?

Strange request: Since AYN is going to release Loki with 6600U, if possible could you please try out that CPU with 15W so we know what to expect when gaming on that Handheld? :)

Just ordered this from NewEgg $189. Went with the same cpu for gpu I'm getting the Rx 6650 xt $279

I am waiting for RDNA 3 APU. This will kick ass.

People give the RX6400 a lot of crap because it's a low end card. For applications like this, it's optimal since it is a relatively cool-running card.

This looks like it would belong to the Silverstone SUGO series

You can also get a rx6600 ITX version.

There's also a B660 version with support up to Alder Lake non-K variant.

I’m getting a Rtx 3060 12gb single fan on mine

Wonder if it can use sfx to atx bracket? And use 650w sfx psu

So thoughts on this machine. The older deskmini machines had wifi and bt, as well as two m.2 slots. Both of those are gone with a tradeoff of far more ports. That said, a second PCI slot above the gpu slot (to avoid blocking gpu fan) would have been a decent alternative to allow for adding in an extra card for wifi/sound/usb.

This looks really nice and all but why didn't they use a sfx psu? If they would have used that then they could have increased the cpu cooler height. Also that proprietary motherboard makes this a hard pass for me.

I wonder if you could use a 2070 super mini in this.

My father is looking for a PC for photo editing. I guess it's a nice barebone kit that would fit his needs pretty well. I may give him my 5700G or pair a 5600x with a sff gpu

Lets see some emulation & pc games hooked up to a 4K television. I'm working on a 5600X & 6400 build & would like to see how that machine could handle a 4K television. Also would like to see what a 1650,1660, & 3060 could do

this with a 3060 Phoenix would be really cool.

Spent hours looking at cases, and the only one I found with this layout was the Jonsbos V4, but it fits a mATX board. This is a second, but for ITX, but can I get just the case.

aaaaa had my hopes up for an stx form factor

Lol really thought it says “Deadmeat”

iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Mini OC 16GB, looking good in 2024 for small form factor builds

The only thing stoping me from getting this is the fact that it doesn't exist in any market... Just like the X300 Jupiter

Honestly I don’t see it as a space miracle. You could make fit an asus 3060ti mini dual flawlessly and get a trillion of benchmark points more.

Desk Meet more like Under The Desk Meat 😉

Someone clearly hasn't bothered to look at the reviews of the RX 6400 on PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0. "Shouldn't affect performance too much" was the line that made me bow out early on this one.

Not a huge fan of the blank slate look of the right side of the front. Something like the Deskmini's diagonal lines would look a lot nicer, IMO. Pending it comes out at a decent price, it seems pretty nice.

windows 121? wow, have I been in a cave for the last 50 years?

Seems like only really small cpu coolers can fit.. would like to see this running 5700x and rx6600 or 6600xt..
