    Manufacturer for front panel I/O, power button and angled power cord

    Good day guys, if you followed my last threads you will probably already know that I am working on a prebuilt SFF PC which will go into mass production. I am now looking for manufacturers which are able to produce the stuff I need (the details are below). I know there're guys in this forum...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    Yeah you are right with the TDP. I just read it somewhere and took it as fact without thinking about it if it makes sense. Obviously it doesn't as you explained. The jump in efficiency isn't big, that's true but there's one and that being a fact the heat generated per frame is less so will the...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    Right. The case I built right now will be definitly not good to sell as a case. When I would want to sell a case I've another project. Maybe I will work on this sometime later. I feel very confident about what I want to do, I understand what it involves. I want people to be able to purchase...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    yeah if you compare 1080s with 2080s then off course. Considering the RTX 2070 will perform between a GTX 1080 and a GTX 1080Ti, I think that's pretty good. BTW the 30W higher power draw is due the USB-C Port I guess.

    True. But ask a average person who wants to buy a new PC this year what they do think about RTX. They're all brainwashed by the BS marketing. The biggest improvement for me is the cooler. The first time in history that there's an "metal cooler design" what is actual usable and looks nice.

    Good points. Yeah having it serviced by other companies sounds good except that the best service they do is the bare minimum you would expect as a service.

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    about that graphics card thing. My case will only allow for max 27cm long graphic cards. I doubt that I will get a cheap GTX 1080Ti. They would have to be extremely cheap that I would consider them. They are much more inefficient which means more power draw which means the psu would be more...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    well the reason of the whole project will be the custom case I know they use all cheap fan designs but I do find that the FE still has a good value when you consider cooling power/ size. I still could get a KFA2 a little cheaper which comes in plastic and instead of saying Geforce RTX it says...

    Other In search for a PCIe Riser Card that doesn't block the Audioports of the Motherboard

    I guess you know those riser cards: https://www.delock.de/produkte/S_89105/merkmale.html They would be a good alternative to flexible risers but in my testing the PCIe bracket of a two slots graphics cards collides with the Audio Ports of a normal layout mini itx board just barely but just too...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    Well I feel like there's no drawback in going small. When I look at what the big players like msi and asus put out there with two laptop supplies it looks like they are forcing showing off a small pc. How many percent of people need two PCIe slots? So what is the drawback if I get it to be...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    it's all about the quantity am I right? If I will be able to get the stuff directly from NVIDIA and Intel in "high" quantity the margin should be significantly higher than buying it from a third party in bulk.

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    Thank you for your answer. Well that topic was all the way back in one corner of my head, I am glad you brought it up. You made a lot of good points. About the crowdfunding on a private site: Several blogs and sites mentioned it when talking about all of the different kinds of crowdfunding as it...

    Crowdfunded prebuilt SFF Gaming PC (custom case)

    Hi guys, I have a cool project going on but I have some doubts about it succeeding. Basically I want to crowdfund a prebuilt high-end SFF Gaming PC. All components are standard aside from the PSU which is not available to retail customers. The reason I want to resell it as a complete built is...

    The case will be most likely manufactured in steel. If possible I'm mostly interested in a unibody design.
