    Concept Silverstone AP181 in SFF case (concept)

    I just looked it up. The SG08 is so close to what I want here and has so much potential. Imagine if they built the SG08 in vertical form.

    Concept Silverstone AP181 in SFF case (concept)

    Hi guys I just found out about the AP181 after reading gamernexus's 200mm comparison article. Now I am thinking of a ncase m1 style case that can utilize just one AP181 fan instead of 3~5 120mm fans. So I came up with a shitty sketch in paint 3D (lol) Pros: One 200/180mm fan instead of many...

    You could also argue that people who go SFF only want small HTPC level of performance which is 150~200W. But here we are trying to put 1080ti and OC'ed 8 core CPUs. SFF has always been about pushing the envelope. First we had small cases that sacrificed specs. Then we had small cases that...

    ^This. This is my concern as well. I hope dondan has the resource to release both designs but if ultimately we have to choose one then I'll fight for the tower one because it's just so much more interesting. As for I/O, my suggestion is to just do it whichever way is the best for cable...

    I would hardly consider metal radiators more fragile than a case with 3~5mm of panel thickness. What I'm trying to say is if you package the whole thing as well as you normally would your 1k+ dollar PC then the radiator should be fine.

    I understand where you are coming from and I think if dondan has the resource then he should do different variations of the tower design to appease to a broader audience. But if his resource and time are both limited then I think the external mount should be prioritized first. It gives the...

    Ah the dilemma of designing an SFF case: Cooling, size, aesthetics, pick two. Fitting powerful standard components into an increasingly smaller footprint is always going to look unattractive unless you have custom motherboards, custom GPUs, custom everything. I for one am willing to sacrifice...

    An SFF tower case with good cooling all around is a beauty in and of itself. I could care less about the little details like shape of vents or the fact that the rad is installed on the outside of the case because imo this is SFF done right. Small foorprint + good cooling > "omg i dont like this...

    I admit my introduction on the concept is crude. But then again rome wasn't built in a day. With the proper design and manufacturing method, there's no reason that those mini ductings won't look good. Besides, instead of spending time ridiculing my suggestion, I'm sure you could have written a...

    Here's an idea. What if someone create a short fan duct designed to feed the graphics card/radiator with fresh cool air? similar to engine intake designs they have on cars. Because if I'm not misunderstanding a lot of the issue with current ultra small cases are mainly cooling efficiency right...
