    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    I wonder if I've painted myself into a corner using the Velka 3. Seems like immediately after I bought it, the best mini GPUs were discontinued, and I'm on a 1080 mini. Haven't heard any news about the next gen GPUs having mini variants any time soon.

    Has anyone tried these 80x80x10 fans from amazon? About the same price as the ones from the Velka store, but I assume shipping would be faster. EDIT - nvm, they're not PWM

    One suggestion for the Velka 3 power button: I think either a lower-depth button, or moving the button higher on the front panel would make the build easier. In the current position it fights for space with the PSU cables.

    Someone asked to see how I did a little auxiliary fan setup. I ran an extension cable from the chassis fan header on the mobo to exit the back of the case, then took an old 120mm fan, 3d printed some front and back covers for it, and now I have a detatchable 120mm auxiliary fan that I can use...

    I actually tried fitting the Silverstone before I got the Enhance (had to return the Silverstone, was not in "new" condition as advertised), and I was able to jam an SSD in that spot. With the Enhance it doesn't seem possible. I'll try it again, i have to rebuild the thing this week to replace...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    Just finished my build of the Velka 3 with a 1080 Mini. Ran some VR tests and it seems to be working nicely. Some thoughts: - i think the enhance enp-7660b PSU might be a little tall for this case, as there's almost no clearance for the riser cable, and the PSU itself generates a lot of heat...

    Mini 2060S/2070 cards discontinued? Any news?

    I ended up getting a used 1080 via eBay for like $290. If it works, should be GPU for a while.

    For anyone using the Enhance ENP-7660b PSU - is it taller than other flex PSUs? mine is touching the bottom of my mobo. I can move things a bit for enough clearance to get the riser cable through, but just barely - I'm concerned about having the mobo, riser cable, and PSU all touching with...

    Mini 2060S/2070 cards discontinued? Any news?

    I guess the 1080 would be about on par with the 2060, minus the ray tracing?

    Mini 2060S/2070 cards discontinued? Any news?

    I just recently moved from 'somewhat SFF' to the truly small Velka 3. I had planned for the build to pick up an MSI or Gigabyte ITX / single-fan 2060S or 2070 GPU. Foolishly I assumed that since they were listed on the manufacturer's website, that they might be available for sale somewhere...

    Production Velka series cases for ultra compact and portable desktops

    @VELKASE Michael My Velka 3 arrived last week. All good so far (though I'm having trouble finding an ITX 2060S or 2070 right now). Two things: 1. Why do the instructions say not to use the motherboard bottom-right screw with standoffs to attach it to the case? My VK3 had enough for 4...
