    Proportionally Smaller ITX "Tower Style" Cases - Do They Exist?

    This is actually my design, currently under development here. I wouldn't normally crash a thread like this, but it sounds like you and I have been feeling the same pain? I would be keen to get your thoughts on this design - as I feel like it fulfills your requirements jamesman32 Engr62 ...

    Thanks man, glad you like it. I'm a big fan of your work! I work professionally as an industrial designer, so I used one of our standard suppliers in China. I can't divulge industry secrets here though ;)

    Hey guys, the prototype finally arrived! Apart from a few minor teething issues (holes needing to be drilled out and tapped), the whole thing went together perfectly. Check out the photo gallery of the prototype HERE. The thing is surprisingly sturdy, hasn't fallen over yet! Regardless, the...

    I am currently using the 350W Seasonic - I wonder if I should be worried.. Anyone else have issues with this PSU?

    Hey guys, just a quick update. Here is a render of the first prototype, which is now in production. The build is using a TFX power supply, which is quieter than a FLEX ATX but also much smaller and better oriented than an SFX or SFX-L. This means the case can be narrower, nearly...

    Hey Saper! Love your Sentry, thanks for the feedback. Neat idea, but I want the side profile to be clean, i.e. I don't want to see a cable rotating 90 degree under the case. Thanks to your TFX suggestion, the new concept has a bit more room to spare internally, so I don't mind the internal pass...

    Thanks for the feedback guys, here are some updates. Front panel is still an unknown. Perhaps just a single push button / LED. I don't plan to include any i/o on the front for minimalism. From the research I've done, it seems like the TFX PSU is a more solid choice compared to the Flex...

    Does anyone have experience with a flex ATX PSU? Here is a quick mockup of how using one could work in comparison to an SFX-L.

    Will most likely be going with aluminium for this reason. M2 for system drive and will most likely support a couple of 2.5" drives, but nothing more than that. Will post more about this as the details are worked out. I get it, but sort of missing the point - the value is in the combination...

    Hey guys, good feedback. I'm not precious about the design at all and I appreciate the candid thoughts. I hear that a lot of you think the design is too Sentry-like and that's understandable. There are two aspects to this project: 1. I want to make my own case, half as a hobby, half because...

    Glad you like it! This case will never see an optical drive though.

    I chose SFX-L for the low noise and availability, but a good flex atx psu could be interesting. If space can be saved horizontally, it would be great to switch to the mini 1080.

    CIRCLE ONE CIRCLE ONE is a 7L mini-itx tower computer the size of a piece of A3 paper. The focus of this build is a balance of aesthetics and power for people who want a beautiful, quiet, capable computer. It uses a 'mini' GPU, which provides room for extra ventilation and internal 2.5"...
