    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Hey guys, So, I actually have a module this semester which teaches business skills to engineers. Being the forward thinking people my lecturers are, they decided that having everyone form groups and each make a crowdfunding campaign would be a great idea. So, since I already had this case...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Yeah, but I meant that the library of solidworks stuff is relatively smaller compared to the treasure trove of sketchup stuff that people have made out there. There's still definitely a load of great stuff out there though. Makes me want to learn sketchup more, but solidworks is what I know...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Oh, no wonder your question was a bit confusing :p I got the idea to build my own case back in December last year, since then I've just been working on the design in my free time.

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Well, if you're asking how, I used solidworks to make the 3D models, while getting some other models (like the GPU) online. There's not nearly as many assets out there as Sketchup though. I liked the idea of a vertically oriented components for a small footprint, as well as vertical airflow...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Yeah, I like grey as you can see :p. But I like blue too, and the actual color scheme here is gonna be mostly grey with a bit of blue. I'm planning to use a translucent blue coolant, as well as probably add some blue lighting on the underside.

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Small update! For the Greylith, the previous design had some bends in it that would be impossible unless I had a fancy bending brake, so I made some of the parts of the inner frame separate pieces. Here you can also see the adjustable radiator mount, to help with alignment for the...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Interesting that you say it has a transformers feel. Some of the stylings of this case, particularly the panel lines, were inspired by gundams. But you can definitely learn Sketchup and just play around with it and design your own case, 3D modelling is fun :)

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Thanks for the advice, but of course I'm gonna put a cap on there :b Although, it seems that the only way I could do it is fitting > female to female adapter > cap. There doesn't seem to be a more straightforward method than that for rigid tubing, like a fitting with a female thread.

    That'd be ideal, but it should be fine as long as you make it so that it doesn't run dry.

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Guys, I have an idea for using a standalone DDC pump and cpu block instead of the Fractal Design Kelvin. Using a Bitspower Q plus fitting, a vertical piece of tubing would be attached that'd act as a 'reservoir' of sorts and more importantly a fill port, sort of like using a T-fitting in...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Thanks for all the info guys, although I've decided to stick with the original design just because a standard SFX psu is probably much easier to find than more exotic form factors. Speaking of the Greyling, I've cleaned up the design a bit I don't believe I've shown you guys the internal...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    So I recently saw a review of a TFX power supply on Jonnyguru which got me playing around with alternate Greyling designs using this form factor. Thing is, they don't seem to output as much power as conventional power supplies.I'm just wondering, would this be enough to power something like a...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Quick update ditched the reset button and rounded off some corners. Also changed the mesh design on the Greyling.

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a bit of a noob with modding and scratchbuilding so tolerances will probably be a big issue for me. Here you go ;) These are just the default settings in PhotoView 360 though. I didn't actually know what perspective mode was until I saw your comment, I...

    Greylith: All Aluminum Liquid Cooled Vertical SFF

    Thanks for the feedback! Yeah it isn't the smallest sfx case around. I blame the 3.5" drive support, eliminating the back compartment brings the volume down to ~11.6L. But I do need to have them, for now at least. In Taiwan, it looks like the patent lasts till 2018 (according to this, search...
