    SFF.Network Apeer2 Shows Off Monitor Stand ITX Case at Computex 2026

    So either there is a SFF inside joke I don't get due to not being on the forums near as much as I was in the past, or the reference is to a flared base to prevent over-insertion of an object into a certain body opening...? I will emphasize this is something I have heard of but have absolutely...

    Lian Li/DAN A4-H2O

    What are the collective thoughts on using the be quiet! Pure Loop 3 240 AIO in this chassis...? I really like the ability to top off the coolant down the road... And thoughts towards using the included fans or replacing with a set of Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP fans...? Thanks...!

    @dondan I notice the actual volume of the C4-SFX v2 chassis is almost 15L when the feet/base section are taken into account... Thoughts towards running the chassis without the feet/base section (using a set of felt or rubber pads to keep from scratching whatever surface the chassis is resting...

    Well, I hope I can snag one of these when they finally ship; looks like I might finally have a proper SFF home for my C8I build, would drop almost 10L going from the Lian Li TU150 to this...!

    Cooling A bit of a rant, and a request for y'all to school me on the state of ITX(ish)-sized GPUs, please...!

    This is what we need for the US market, but with a RX 9070 card instead of a RTX 5070...

    Cooling A bit of a rant, and a request for y'all to school me on the state of ITX(ish)-sized GPUs, please...!

    Why are all (not that there are many) ITX(ish)-sized GPUs mainly available only to the non-USA market...? Why can't ASUS/Noctua offer a SFF GPU collaboration to us SFF fanatics here in the US of A, something with either dual 25x92mm or 25x120mm high static pressure fans and a graphene-coated...

    Discussion Performance per litre - Round 4

    So I was looking at an article on the RTX Spark, and it referenced a desktop chassis that was 150mm x 150mm x 51mm, giving it a total volume of 1.15 liters, it will be interesting to see what kind of PPL score it can achieve...!

    Discussion Performance per litre - Round 4

    With the RTX Spark running the Windows 11 for ARM OS, one might wonder if we could see the return of the Apple Boot Camp Assistant at some point...? ;^p

    Discussion Performance per litre - Round 4

    Been a hot minute or three folks...! Still have my ASUS Crossfire Impact VIII mDTX mobo in a Lian-Li TU150 chassis, with a Zotec RTX 2070; the TU150 is slightly over 20L, so I am a SFF heretic...! ;^p I AM looking for a new chassis to move my build over to, but one that will still allow me to...

    TimeSpy more gaming/fps-oriented, Octane for a more compute-oriented comparison...? What chassis...?

    You need to add the volume for the fan bump-out; and remember, it is 'bounding box', not 'shrink-wrapped'...! ;^p

    DAN C4-SFX & C4-MATX

    I was only going by what Noctua said in regards to the C14S & C8I... In that pic it looks like the S0-DIMM.2 riser (for the M.2 SSDs) is not able to be utilized...? Are the other angles / pics of that setup...? Or a link to the build to look at...? If a C14S will work on the C8I (and retain...
