With the PSU over the CPU design, do you intend to have all of the expansion slots available? Or still limiting to 4/5?
Yeah, all slots available when psu is over cpu but the last one only for single slot. Once again - it's about dual config:
1) - Air cooled, only one card, or two cards cramped one to another (this motherboard cad model don't have the first pci-e slot)
2) - Water cooled, multiple cards, all slots available except for last one (outer wall just after the end of the ATX footprint)
2) - Water cooled, multiple cards, all slots available except for last one (outer wall just after the end of the ATX footprint)
EDIT: Scratch that idea of supporting SFX over pci-e slots. ATX over motherboard is simply enough to make a proper case. I did a quick layout concept and it looks so obvious.
Actually making 17L ATX case with ATX psu over the cpu is quite possible even with water cooling. I did the draft assembly and it looks so obvious to do. Why noone is making this?
Case dimensions would be 330 x 305 x 168 mm
Coolers/blocks up to 55m tall. 280 rad mount in front of the case that would fit with fans when gpu's have water blocks.
