@LukeD I would still be interested in the case. An additional expansion card and water cooling in a small m-atx form factor is a definite thumbs up! I was thinking, there might be a possibility for a custom riser to allow multiple single slot cards in the bottom holder (for m-atx motherboards)...

Don't know how i missed this thread! I've recently been listening to a mixture of Vocal Trance, Vocal Chillout, Synthwave & Liquid Drum N Base on DI.FM One of my favorite Synthwave tracks at the moment is GUNSHIP - Woken Furies, also check out Brian Transeau commonly known as BT for some amazing...

I recently got myself an ABS version of the Keychron K2 Mechanical Keyboard via the kickstarter. Its a nice compact keyboard and has Bluetooth and RGB back lighting. I'm quite enjoying it however i have spotted the OLKB ortholinear keyboards which look nice for a mobile setup.

To be honest, since the 'upgrade' i find myself using these forums less. The watched list is gone, all the images under text, etc, makes everything unreadable, and the drop-down on the left doesn't have each sub-forum listed to make it easier to navigate, but hey, what do i know...

wirPL, If you do a search on eBay for a 'HP EliteOne Power Supply', you should be able to find a 160-200w power brick that is similar (if not the same) as the one in the photo.

As stated, I'm sure you could find one that is rated higher. Maybe something like the following (it is however its a 4 way splitter for CCTV)...

How about something like https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Andoer%C2%AE-Multi-interface-Connecting-Effects-Adapter/dp/B014HB4TS6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548266630&sr=8-3&keywords=pedal+power+cable+splitter? This one is rated for 9-18v, but i'm sure ive seen ones that are rated higher.

Just a quick idea, couldn't you cut the 5 power wires on the riser cable and add some diodes to them? If done properly, the current would only flow in one direction (from the board to the card).

Looking forward to the new AMD Ryzen processors and Graphics cards. My poor old PC needs a refresh!

What your describing reminds me of the Alphacool Eiswand 360 https://www.aquatuning.co.uk/water-cooling/kits-systems-and-aios/external-kits/21360/alphacool-eiswand-360-cpu-black?c=2637, Just not as big.

I would have to say my favorite would be the HT5 for a HTPC and the LZ7 for a mini pc.

@LukeD Guessing this case uses Li-Heat B-Type cables? I'm assuming (looking at other photos in this thread) there's not enough space at the bottom for people to use 2no D-type (or similar) cables?

Looking at PCie specifications its likely to not be 8X as that would need a total of 98 pins (typically 49 pins per side of the card). Its possible that its a 4x PCIe with shared grounds or MiniPCI express (52-pin) with the +12v power on the second tab... Defiantly looks interesting.

@Reldey, I checked last night no there is no space for a rad at the top. The supplied 25mm fans fit with minimal clearance (maybe 5-10mm) for the riser cable above the motherboard.
