Sound dampening = don't expect a miracle. Sound redirection = I'm hoping for a measurable difference. When I do the build log I'll make sure to include noise numbers!

@Necere Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. The flaps are very simple in design, from above they look like two V's, one above the other (sides connected with straight lines, shaping a wierd looking arrow). From the side (or front/back, rather) they are once again shaped as a V...

@theGryphon Heh, yeah, the red/yellow sticks out. I keep switching colors for different renders, mostly so I can see how things look (it's hard to see where something ends and something else begins otherwise. I even have to intentionally mess up the lining of the panels otherwise it'll look...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Your response was way faster than I had anticipated the first response to be. The SFF is heading into a brave new world the upcoming years, I don't expect it to be too long until someone makes what you wish for. :)

FAQ 1) Do you have a TL;DR? Yes: TL;DR: Read it all. 2) Something something Ncase something? No.

Raphbox* details Outside details: Dimensions*: 138x214x361 (mm, WxHxD), 10,66 liters. Material: Aluminum. Right now only 2mm, but will convert some to 1-1,5mm (panels will be either 1,5mm or stay 2mm) Front panel**: 2x USB 3.0. Hideable. No mic/audio jacks. Fan controller**: This is...

My first take on mini-ITX (click for larger version) If there’s one thing I know, it’s games, and as a natural extension gamers; as I am one myself. As a gamer, I’ve always been drawn to the concept of squeezing as much power as possible into as a small space as...

What is mini-ITX for me? This chapter is long and windy, and a must-include for a wall-of-texter like me. Its only purpose is for you to get to know me better, how I view things, my values, how I operate, etc. You can safely skip this part if your only interest is in my project. No hard...

Forewords Before we get started, I’d like to point out a few things. You might have scrolled down for a while until giving up, and then went back here to start reading to figure out what the hell I’m smoking. Who makes a 5000+ word (~30 000 character) presentation of a hobby...

Raphbox This is a work in progress. Keep that in mind! If you’re looking for specifics about the chassis, it’s chapter 5. 1. News / Updates (this post) 2. Forewords 3. Introduction, my views on ITX 4. Introduction, my first attempt at an ITX chassi 5. More in-depth...

Given the volume, width, relative dimensions, placement of the side holes, and support for WC, am I correct in guessing *width is around 100-120mm? *you're placing the GPU parallel to the motherboard (above, not behind like the A4) *support for full-length GPU's *both CPU and GPU can be...

I hope it's not the final design. With a 178mm width I'm expecting the hoses to have a minimum requirement of 280-370mm in length, which will be hard to tuck in when you close the flap, as they'll be likely to rest on the backside of the GPU. This is also assuming the picture shows the maximum...

I wouldn't either. But then again, I wouldn't go for an i7 when aiming for "dead quiet" and portable, since the passive heatsink I'm thinking about is the size of a handbag. You could go for the T-model, or underclock a K-model, but once again I wouldn't, as the price/performance imo wouldn't be...

Just piling on the wealth of information already given in this thread. If you're looking for dead quiet, you're looking for no movable parts. That means low TDP CPU, no case fans, etc. If you're looking for as small and portable as possible, you're looking for thin mini-itx. The one I can think...

I like it. A bit thicker but allows for watercooling. @fusionxr, I'm sure he means in relation to the shoebox type of chassis. Two things pop up in my head though, but for the first, pictures where the rads are would be nice (the concern is about space allocation). The second thing, how will...

Excellent formfactor for office computers that doesn't need a graphics card (customer service, etc). I'm really excited about it.

I can second this. My primary display is 24" and when working (often zoomed in a lot for detail work) you get a false sense of impression, especially if you've worked on a particular design for weeks or even months. When I picked up my first prototype I was stunned when I first saw it standing...

I have no personal experience of Big Shuriken (rev. B), but I am a fan of it (pun not intended). I think for a m-ITX system where performance is the #1 priority (noise and heat are indirectly related) there has to be room for at least something of its size. Only when size becomes the #1 factor...

An open question to the people here, which is your favorite low profile CPU cooler, and why? Would you be willing to trade for a smaller one if you found a case you liked that couldn't support it? Example; I like the CM Hyper 212 tower cooler, amazing bang for the buck, but if I found a chassis...

If you have a link to that review I would truly appreciate it. I was sad when I found out anandtech's Bench didn't include 35W CPU's. Regarding availability, or pricing, here in Sweden it's cheaper buying the K-version and simply downvolt/-clock to get the same effect, but cheaper.

Oh I disagree, what attracts us to computer cases are qualities shared with a myriad of entities, one of which are women (if you're into that sort of thing, that is!). Nice curves, memorable front, no design flaws on the inside, doesn't whine, etc. Come to think of it, works with cars too. I...

When I say "hardcore" gamer I don't mean 4k with Ultra settings and 60/144fps. To me, there are "hardcore gamers" and hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers are the ones right below the professional players, and the "hardcore" players adopt the same mentality, the same approach to games as the ones...

Oh, plenty of answers already, I love it! Also long detailed posts, I love me some reading candy. <3 Oh right, I see it's got a name now. I followed that thread up to early November iirc. When I started out playing around this is what I first set out to do, since I wanted to make a build...

What are you using your computer for, if I may ask? Hardware setup only tells part of the story. My guess is a little of this, a little of that? Like a student computer perhaps, or a home office computer? While I think it's a bit of an overkill to use 2x 120mm fans for such a system, if I...

I've personally not been much for watercooling. As I've never had any interest in extreme OC (and if a person does, imo, mITX isn't the platform), Noctua fans and Windforce/Tri-Force/etc has gotten me a long way in the enthusiast gamer department. The hardware enthusiasts want slightly different...

Hey guys, I've been semi-actively working on a mITX case since late summer, from what I gather I'm hardly alone on this forum who like to tinker. There are a lot of discussions that I've been following since August (when I found this forum), but all seem relatively centered around whatever piece...

Usually those types of text messages explains what goes wrong. Surely you understand that asking "something isn't working, what's the solution?" makes it very hard to offer any real help other than the standard answers to the most common problems, and those are still just jabs in the dark based...

Assuming you followed the Microsoft directions to the letter (including the cmd stuff), have you set your BIOS to boot from the USB?
