Update: All the hardware is here now. Just waiting for an AM4 upgrade kit for the NH-L9i to arrive, which should be tomorrow or at the start of next week. The testing configuration will consist of: CPU: R7 1700 CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i Motherboard: Asrock AB350 Gaming ITX (it's the newer one...

Thanks for the feedback! kingtron: Yeah, this is definitely still in the rough stage and far from a final product. I hope the next prototype turns out better! The power button is a placeholder that I had lying around; I'm thinking of a black one for the final build with LED ring. ZombiPL: 1...

So, I've been away for a while due to real life obligations that had me travel, so the prototype was produced in my absence and I couldn't get pictures until now. So, without further ado, here is the first prototype iteration: Let me know what you think!

I'll look into the cutout idea!

Corners have been smoothened: I'll hopefully have the prototype by the end of the week.

Good point about the edges. I'll look into a solution to round or smoothen the corners. You mean like a shorter Dancase? I have something like that in the pipeline for a different project, using a G-Unique/HDPlex style PSU instead. With their upcoming 400W model, a broader variety of hardware...

It's currently designed to fit reference GPUs up to 305mm in length and CPU coolers up to 50mm in height. I'll do some sample builds once the prototypes are ready.

For the prototype we are doing today, I've added vents over the HDD bracket. I'll stress test a GTX1080 FE inside and will monitor and share the HDD temps. If the results are outside of an acceptable range, I may have to do a major redesign. On a similar note, I will run a CPU stresstest with a...

I'm currently in discussions with LiHeat and Sintech, both of which have been reviewed here. I'll test both of them once I have samples. As a fallback plan, the case has been designed to work with riser cards as well, which we can manufacture inhouse. Our first prototype will use that. We're...

Adjusted the text, thanks for pointing out! Regarding the HDD temps, I'll look into that to find a better solution. It comes down to user preference. I'll try to highlight the traits and selling points of each of the mentioned cases in an impartial way: Node 202/RVZ02: Manufactured by large...

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my ideas for a console style SFF aluminum case. Background My company designs and makes datacenter solutions for cold data storage, with a sheet metal workshop inhouse. After discovering the SFF community on Reddit, I pitched the idea to some friends (who are all...

That's just a placeholder for the drawing! The finished case will support aircoolers up to 47mm, though I am considering cutting out the third drivebay to allow for a 92mm/120mm AIO. Using an AIO would limit you to a shorter GPU though.

Changes from 5/31/2017: Size reduced to 8.1l to 7.6l by reducing the depth by 20mm. Additional vent holes have been added to the GPU and CPU panels.

Placeholder for the future
