    Before asking NCASE about Micro-ATX...

    A thousand times this. I will also say, generally speaking, that windows, high-gloss black, and blue LEDs all need to die in a fire.

    Internal power cord manufacturer with panel mount C14?

    Got to be custom I'd imagine. I'm not really seeing anything on Alibaba or Alibaba Express. Maybe one of those Alibaba vendors can make up something?

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    You may want to add a 3rd hole as 3x3 antenna configurations are definitely a thing.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    True, but doesn't the riser's offset PCIe slot create enough air gap behind the GPU that the GPU's PCB should never come close to the center divider and/or PSU, correct? While that may be true, many motherboards have undersides with very sharp pointy bits from things like through-hole...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    The voting options were only a single port vs widely-spaced dual ports, not motherboad-style stacked square dual ports. I also have concerns that a regular USB 3.0 internal cable is simply physically too large, too long, and too stiff for this application.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Some random musings... Is the plastic center shield on the correct side? I thought you'd want to wedge the riser cable between the center divider and the plastic shield in order to keep all the sharp metal on the back of the motherboard and GPU from penetrating the sheilding of the riser...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    That's why I said I think the case needs ~10mm of additional vertical height. It would enable much better SFX-L support (especially if Silverstone or other manufacturer changes their cable design), along with 25mm thick fans on the top and, possibly, 2x80mm fans in the rear (with snap-in IEC...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Does anybody know of any low-profile USB 3.0 19-pin connectors? The usual USB 3.0 internal headers are comically massive and the cables are stiff. The only low-profile ones I can find are from modDIY...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Honestly? I'd take #4 or #5 from the poll, but in a 2-port version in a little square cut-out like you see on motherboards. I'm one of those people who uses standalone audio equipment and honestly can't remember the last time I used front panel audio.

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Now that I look at the case all loaded up, I think 10-15mm(?) of additional vertical height should be added to the case. This should enable 2x80mm rear fans, a snap-in IEC receptacle above the RF shield, and much more cabling free space for the PSU, especially SFX-L units. If you moved up the...

    The upper one is far and away better than anything shown thus far. A thousand times this. This man knows what he's talking about.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I have to agree on this one. Having a non-italic logo in the lower-right really does work much better. I'd also try to have a black USB port, if at all possible. Another thing to consider would be to offer a dark gunmetal color as an option or even the default color...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    I think most people would be OK with the ability to have 1x3.5" _or_ a 4th/5th-slot second GPU. Pick one. :) Also, what's the technical reason for a single 92mm in back vs 2x80mm? If it's the IEC receptacle, would it be possible for the back panel to hold the receptacle on 3 sides and the...

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    This case really, really needs two front USB and can probably skip the front panel audio. I honestly can't remember the last time I even used front-panel audio jacks on a desktop PC (really...), never mind a HTPC (which is never).

    SENTRY: Console-sized gaming PC case project

    I still say the diagonals are a horrible, horrible idea. It clashes with your overall design aesthetic, draws the eye in the wrong way, and screams 1980s consumer electronics in the worst possible way. The "optimized slot" vent design you had earlier is much more pleasant to look at. I do...
