With the rise of mini STX and seeing people follow in the footsteps of putting some dedicated GPUs- like this recent build, or from one of our most notable forum members- I've decided to pursue this form factor for my next case project.
This is something I cannot yet start at the moment due to funds, but it's started to grow on me and I would like to follow through with it. For aesthetics you can expect it to look just like my Project Thin-X case and use the same kind of materials. Layout-wise it's like a DAN A4 case but even smaller.
(This is a rough draft and design still subject to change)
To sum it up, I think this case will fill a certain price/performance gap with STX boards in between the following:

To sum it up, I think this case will fill a certain price/performance gap with STX boards in between the following:
- Barebones mini STX systems that are cheap but too underpowered for gaming (no dedicated GPU)
- Micro STX systems that have dedicated MXM GPUs but are too expensive for some users
Quick specs:
- Roughly 4 liters in size
- Mini-STX motherboard support
- Reference length/height GPU support, up to 270mm in length
- Front I/O (exact specs TBD)
- Support for KMPKT Dynamo 360
- Support for HDPLEX AC power units
- Completely brickless
