that looks awesome chrono! i love to see a fully stuffed SFF rig. :) does it keep pretty cool with all the panels on or can you feel that its warm inside if you put your hand on the outside of the case?

If I close the left-side panel (the one that's open on the picture) and block the intake fan, things start getting
rather warm as soon as I run a game or start encoding a video, but usually the videocard craps out first - I can
really only do basic stuff like browsing, watching movies, etc on it at those clocks it if/when I seal it up.
The CPU's cooling is easily solvable by cutting out an intake hole in the sidepanel, but I still haven't
figured out how to cool the videocard properly.

Without it, everything is pretty cool, despite the VRM board blocking much of the only airflow path.
System temps around the board are ~30C at idle (room temp 25C), when I load the CPU they only
rise to around 40C, probably thanks to the CPU fan pushing the air over the entire board.

The Kozuti's design just happens to fit this scenario perfectly:

There goes my idea of getting a cheap case for my next build! Was gonna get a Mini-box or Habey, but after seeing your's I know what my next case will be. Where'd you buy it?
 
How's this for a SFF system :)?

Looks like the cpu heatsink is gunna bake the bottom of your viddy
 
That looks... cramped. But possibly awesome.
i think we need a shot of the case as you would normally see it, not disassembled.

Sweet idea, though.
 
Better picture from the whole case :)

My cam isn't that great so sorry for blurry picture.

I don't think there is any airflow in your case. You might damage your bottom hard drives when moving the case.
 
Technically it's not "mine" yet - i had a friends shop build me a water cooling rig, as i would probably flood everything if i try myself (i can build standard rigs without issues, but water cooling is a whole different level). Shipping to me next week :

I posted this in the club thread, but figured I'd put it here too. Its mATX, which I think qualifies as SFF. So here my living room entertainment machine (to include gaming) with specs in my signature:

I know its messy. It was built very quickly since the movers were packing my stuff the next morning. I'll post updates when I get my stuff back, clean it up, and add new stuff (like USB 3.0, etc.).

I'm rocking the same case on my HTPC, unmodded. It's nice enough, but the HDD cage blocks any serious graphics card. Good air flow, though.

Question: How is your PSU getting enough air?

Yeah, before I modded this I was just able to fit my 6870 in. With the mod it's still tight but I've got an extra few precious centimeters. But anything longer is usually out of my budget so it works for me.

The metal stand I made that the PSU sits on is from the 5.25" bay. It has a cut out in the middle so the PSU can get some air. It's not swimming in fresh air, but I imagine it's no worse than an unmodded SG02 where the PSU is sucking up the heat from the CPU. I've also got the vent in the front.

It's been running like this for about a year with no hiccups and I have never really seen the internal PSU temperatures get very high when reading it with my IR thermometer.
 
Got a Lian Li Q07 for xmas from my gf. It was a fun, tight little space to work in (giggity).

It handles Plex Media Server for the house and plays media for the office. It looks like my V2000 and A05 had a baby.
