Parts:
MB: Asrock B450 Gaming-ITX/AC (shipping)
CPU: 3400G (4000-series later, maybe)
Cooler: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4
RAM: TBD (Likely TEAMGROUP E+ 2x4GB 2400 cl16)
Storage: Corsair 128GB SATA SSD, to be upgraded later.
So far I've got the case and CPU cooler. I've unpacked and disassembled the case...
GN tears down the nifty new Intel NUC. I am hoping this takes off and spawns more variations and cases:
Also, I would really like AMD to get in the NUC/SFF game sponsering some alternative designs of it's own.
Update. You can also plug the element card inside your current PC, to have a PC in...

Just as the title says: is there any interest in a case roughly the volume of the Ncase M1, but capable of holding two 30mm thick 280mm radiators? I am in the (early) process of creating such a case for myself; but since I'll be doing the work of creating the case anyway, I wanted to gauge...

I'm about to finish my Node 202 build and I was contemplating attempting something, but I wanted to know if this would cause issues with the fans "fighting" each other...I'm not sure how else to word that.

This is the first post I've made here for the S401 as I've been more active on the SFF network forums. My first venture into case design was the S400 which some here may remember. I actually posted my build thread on this forum before I discovered the SFF network forum. Being more directly...
Following my previous project (the HTPC One), I realized I personally wanted smaller.
The goal was to use the HDPlex 80W with The Shappire FS-FP5V for a small >2L flexible thin client.
The goal is to use this for local renders/simulations that my laptop cannot handle.
I'm getting the board...
I have noticed a few people expressing a desire for a sub 4L case that allows for a short dual slot graphics card and miniITX motherboard, so I figured I would start this thread as a place for people to talk about it without feeling bad about hijacking some other thread.

I'm planning on making an mITX relatively SFF build with the plan to get into VR in a year or two.

Hey [H]gang!
I haven't done a build log in YEARS, my professional life has gotten in the way of documenting creativity even though I tend to get the build-itch once a year and part-out an old system to make room for a new one. This year I got the SSF itch. Two years ago I did a SFF build using...

Hello!
I'm just curious, apart from size and shape, what are the major functional differences between SFX and TFX PSUs? Are there specific advantages of one over another? Of course, using a full-sized ATX PSU is often not desirable when building and SFF machine, so that really leaves SFX and...
I came across the a picture of what appears to be the Dev board for the Intel AMD project. It is looks like an awesome form factor for SFF.
It doesn't seem to quite match any current form factor, but looks very well laid out.
It looks like a slightly bigger STX board, but still very small...

Introduction:
I started to design my dream case. Project Vertical is a 19.9L mATX case with a small footprint, optimized for high-end hardware, excellent cooling and silent operation. An optional 15.6 inch touch-display makes the case more useful when standing on the desk.

Hi, I'm a new member of the [H] forum, but have been reading for a while.
I want to buy an Nvidia 1070 (or 1060 if this is wiser) for a Dan A4, but I have no idea which brand / model to go for!

So I just finished this mITX build in the NCASE M1. I'm very satisfied with the results and the PC works great. The idea sprung from seeing Bluehandstech's M1 build, I instantly knew I had to get this case and watercool it. I decided early on that I was to use hardline tubing only, and with...
This case project is inspired by an issue presented by my friends, which is:
They want a small PC like the ITX builds they see online, but they can't afford to buy everything you would need (SFX PSU, case, motherboard and cpu cooler).
My less fortunate friends buy used pc parts to save money...
Hi,
I was planning on a new case project and thought that the IO-opening and PCI-E slot took a long time to make for previous case with hand tools. Considering I wanted them even close to good looking, an idea came to mind if small quantity of these could be laser cut at a nearby company. -They...

It seems everyone is concerned about stuffing the biggest GPU into the smallest case, but I am thinking I might be able to get by with AMDs new Raven Ridge APUs coming later this year.
If you ditch the GPU card, it seems a lot smaller options should be available.
So has anyone researched any...

Hello,
I'm kind of disappointed by layouts of SFF up there lately. For long time I'm having idea of a new (but not very revolutionary) concept I didn't seen anywhere. Closest to this idea is Raijintek Metis.
Metis case however has lots of compromises and cannot support high-end gaming system...
Hi Guys
A few days ago my mobo/processor just gave up the ghost and so I thought maybe this is a great time to build that SFF PC I have always wanted. I have a bit of an idea where I want to go with it but your advice would be appreciated.
Here is what I have been looking at so far....

So I'm thinking of bumping up the horsepower in my NCase box which currently has the SFF 970. Is there anything out there that has better performance of a similar size? Or may be coming down the pike soon?
I'm brand agnostic so either AMD / Nvidia is fine.
Hey guys, looking to build a SFF PC. Will be used as my daily driver w/ occasional gaming use. GPUs will mostly be used for work purposes (cracking hashes). Smaller the better, but being quiet is my #1 concern.

This case looks intriguing, I like the looks and it seems to be slightly smaller than a fractal design node 304 while supporting excellent cooling and its light (2.4 kg). Anyone have any thoughts on this?
