    Small portable CPU case with home based modular GPU case

    That will work for two of the sides of the I/O plate (either top and bottom, or right and left), but there isn't enough material in that space to bend it back on all 4 tabs. Unless I misunderstand your suggestion. The PCIE interface would only stick out of the 'stationary' GPU enclosure, while...

    Small portable CPU case with home based modular GPU case

    Will that work even if i have set back the MOBO? Its meant to be a fixed distance from the edge of the mobo too the i/o shield? In my case it would be some distance between the hole in the shield and the actual connector

    Small portable CPU case with home based modular GPU case

    I am designing a modular CPU/GPU case system where the CPU case is designed to be as small as possible with the GPU case large enough to hold the beefiest of GPU's. The CPU case (19 by 19 by 6.5cm ) will be powered by a PICO PSU with a Power Brick (12 by 6 by 3.5cm) for portability and will...

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Hallo, Here is what I’ve got so far. The CPU case is around 19 by 19 by 6.5cm, and the GPU case is about 19 by 19 by 36cm big. I have tried to keep the CPU case as small as possible, whereas for the GPU case I have kept it so that it can accommodate all the GPU's that I could find.In the renders...

    Depth of PCI Express Slots?

    Hi, I'm trying to design a Computer case that uses a PCIe Riser. Is there a standard depth that GPU's go into the PCIe slots of risers such as this one for example? iStarUSA DD-766-2U 2U PCIe x16 to PCIe x16 Riser Card - Newegg.com I need to get a fairly accurate distance to be able to place...

    additional fans needed?

    Option 1: Thinking i7 4790K and the case would be just over 18 by 18 by as little height as fits (probably around the 5cm mark). I would have perforations on the sides and a lot on the top, especially right above the cpu cooling fan. There are two alternatives if that isnt enough: Option 2...

    additional fans needed?

    I am designing a small case for a pc with a mini-ITX motherboard without GPU. I am wondering if it is possible to get away with a CPU cooler (Noctua L9i for example if the case with vents is right above it? Or is another fan needed, on top of the CPU fan, or can it be placed besides the CPU fan...

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Yeah, I think i will try to keep the cpu case as small as possible with a mini-ITX mobo footprint as the basis and flat as possible with a picoPSU with AC-DC adapter. And the GPU case with a SFX PSU in a case that should be as future proof as possible

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Sounds interesting. That PSU woukd have to be a sfx one then and be in the same case as the cpu. I'm not sure if the tradeoff of a bigger case for the cpu is worth it jn the end. Or do you think it is possible to put a 550W PSU inside the cpu case without increasing its dimensions too much? I...

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Nice diagram. Thats what i was thinking. Flushmounting with stackable cases ideally. Will try design something in CAD then post it back here. Happy for any input/help with the project. Have limited experience with CAD and building PCs

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Has anyone on these forums done something similar? My search didnt find anything but then im not sure what search terms to use.

    Possibility of modular Dedicated Gpu?

    Hi, not sure if this is the right space to post this but here i go, want to run this idea i have past people: Can you built a very small form factor pc without internal graphics such as Antec Isk110 for size for example with a PCIe riser from 3M going from MOBO to a plug in the case wall. A gpu...
