Overdose case - mini itx watercooled alu case

[kuman]

Welcome to all,
We are happy to introduce our project. The one we were working on more than a year.
Idea came from passion to watercooling and mini itx form factor.

--- Update ----
Pictures of sfx prototype build:

Our idea was to build for ourselves nice mini itx case with fully loaded watercooling support.
Later on we have started to verify possibility of producing such case locally, now its the time to verify if anyone will like the idea.

Final decisions have been made, and project switched to SFX psu with improved space for side radiator - now can fit 360 radiator up to 60mm thickness)

Currently awaiting final prototype build by manufacturer site(SFX version)
Than we can go crowdfunding is anyone will be interested

Past prototype build(atx version):

Some plexi and painting tests:

On the way to final design we have tried various orientations and component placements. It took loads of try and errors to get project right. To test all the location,mountings, temps.Squeezing all the millimeters its not easy.

Some early handmade concepts:

After all horizontal idea was clearly the winner as vertical options made case very large and high and installation process was very unfriendly.

PAST Prototype ATX builds:

Testing vid of atx version


Final features and data of the OVERDOSE CASE:

Size summary:
Length:415 mm
Width:258 mm
Height: 221 mm plus feet

Material: Aluminium 1,5mm powder painted
Acrylic side panel 5mm thick


What does it fit than?

Side Radiator mount 3x120mm
Maximum radiator size:
Length: 415mm
Width: 135 mm
Thickness: 60 mm

For the 60mm thickness pull is recomended setup, but push also possible
If somebody wants to go AIO road than EKWB Predator fits here perfectly.


Rear Radiator 1x120mm
Maximum radiator size:
Length: 160mm
Width: 134mm
Thickness : depends on cpu socket location

Two separate pump/res brackets, one vertical one horizontal.

Vertical Bracket:
Maximum height oc pump/res is 218 mm
2 sets of Pre-drill rows for easy pump setup:
Pre-drill holes for Aquacomputer aqualis D5 100ml
Pre-drill holes for EKWB EK-XRES D5 pump/res combo


Horizontal Bracket:
Maximum height: 189 mm or 208mm( mounting bracket upside down)
2 sets of Pre-drill holes for Laing- DDC pumps. one set for internal mount, second for extrernal ones.
One Set of mountings for Heatsing covers pumps with 50mm spacing.
Fits such units as:
Aquacomputer aqualis DDC 150 ml
Aquacomputer aqualis DDC 100 ml
Alphacool Laing DDC310 - Complete Edition Eisdecke
EK-XRES 140 DDC
EK-XRES 100 DDC

Bottom of the case:
Pre-drill holes for the Alphacool Eisdecke mounting bracket for DDC and D5 pump/top systems with Alphacool Eisdecke DDC/D5 single reservoir for Alphacool
Maximum height is 216 mm


GPU:
Graphics card up to 302 mm

PSU: have now switched to SFX only option
total height space is 189 mm
recommended length will be 150mm to have space for connectors and cables.

Storage:
Window bracket:
one HDD drive and two SSD drives
Bottom of the case:
Two SSD drives
2xUSB 3.0

Large bottom cutout for easy acces to cpu mounts and backside ssd in m2 format.
Front Demciflex dedicated filter.

Important factor was to get it manufacter locally, we got the right manufacter now. And it might be only one or one of the few cases produce in europe.

What do you guys think ??

Have updated the main post as project switched to SFX only power supply support.
This allows mounting side radiator up to 60mm thickness

Also power supply can be mounted facing either radiator or window storage bracket:

And all the parts are removable

As for the pump/res mountings, horizontal bracket can be easy setup to match motherboard components:

Possible radiator configurations:

Side radiator either push, pull, or push/pull config:

Dual radiators possible 1x120 on rear and 2x120 on side:

Will prepare pictures with measurements of distances to psu today.

We have received sfx prototype build

Sfx power supply allows to use 60mm thick radiator:

Build with 38mm radiator:

16/10 tubbing :

13/10 tubbing

Spacing to the psu:
psu to 38mm rad and psu to 60mm rad

Combo bracket for water pump/res:

with ddc on heatsing and Eisberg top/res

with laing ddc pump:

with aquacomputer D5:

with EK D5:

thermals test with CPU on Water and GPU on Air done, have to upload the video.

Photos of ssd/hdd bracket:

Front foto with demciflex filter:

Empty frame // with psu cage

Now have to test cpu+gpu on water with 38mm rad and 60mm rad configs....

Looks good! Best of luck to you with your project.
