Doable with mATX right now = available cases on the EU market: Something around 12 - 13L. There are several cases floating around like the LC-1400mi, Chieftec Uni UE-02B or Aerocool Playa Slim, all using the same base, so 30 x 40 x 9 - 11cm. Got an amazon card box of similar size sitting here...

My guess would be its a client build. Also I wonder, how much one would be able to get out of a single 240 rad. Heavy UV and PL-ing maybe? Lets think that through for once: A full loop would only make sense with at least 2 x 240, better 240 + 280 radiators. Bottom radiator: A thin 240...

SG Custom did another thing - something I've been briefly contemplating as a fall-back option, if the "Path Of The S300" didnt work out, in exactly the same train of though: Doing a liquid cooling mod with the Fractal Design Terra, going the BOTTOM route! Ie. bottom mounted radiator, which in...

Sorry for the misunderstanding .. I just reread everything three times to figure out what happened. Then noticed: Posted at Saturday, 5 _am_ Guess I was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tired at that time, to realize you were speaking about different cases 😅 (and yeah, the FormD .. whichever site it...

oh, no, I wasnt offended at all :) just wanted to point it out. I'm used to people, esp. from the US, not knowing about the topic, and then wondering why one would "dance around the topic", so to speak. Angle grinder feels like a valid option, too. At the end, the Dremel is just a miniature...

No need, the Ophion 7L in white would be almost perfect for this :) cu, w0lf.

in Germany, we avoid using names like SS or SA, for obvious reasons. The rather naive usage of such abbreviations has always astonished me quite a bit. I am calling it the S396, because its based on the S300, and recently, there has been a new case released, called the S450, which is based on...

As a matter of fact, the AXP120-x67 is called that way, because it is using a 120 mm fan, and is 67 mm tall, including the slim 120 fan (which I immediately replaced with the much better performing Silverstone Air Slimmer). I am NOT talking about the AXP90. No high pitched noises, and NO 92 mm...

Ok, happy deshroud time. A less chunky GPU is the eventual solution (ie. at max, 45 mm height), but for now, deshrouding the up to 60 mm height behemoth the Gigabyte RX 6800 OC .. it is. Gonna post pics of the process on insta later on (and drop it in here, obv.). Edit: Nope. Deshrouding this...

Just as a reminder: The Tacens Orumx weights only 2.2 kg, while each side panel weights a hefty 550g. BUT: The All-Hit combo (280 rad + AMD GPU BRICK) fits perfectly inside. If I'm too miffed off by the alternative of either deshroud + air ducting or putting the AIO on the front = outside, I...

Also, looks like Louqe is back in business. Sadly, way too late for my purposes. I'm basically doing the same, but with an 8.1L case that weighs just 2.1 kg. And when I'm finished, its still going to be smaller than the Ghost S1 Mk III + large top hat. cu, w0lf.

On that "feet underneath" topic: I'd love to aquire something akin to what is seen over at r/sffpc with the BeamCase - foldable feet :) cu, w0lf.

Had this kinda fun in the S396 build, fixed it using a 80 x 15 mm fan, thats stuck in approx a 15 to 20ish degree angle, offset, above the CPU water block. VRM, NVMe etc. dropped from initially up to 49 C, down to 32 C in idle, and 35 C under full load. I feel like pointing fans at specific...

Gotta point out: My needs are not in gaming, its primarly CPU power. Preferably portable. So in theory, I would even be contented with just a 4060 LP or a StormX-sized GPU, while the CPU gotta have lots of oomph. Some of my ideas for SFF contain CPU-only, with 180 mm rads, or "classic" 240 AIOs...

I did a test / mockup build with the Meshroom S today. Turns out, the GPU might only fit properly if I a) use a 180° power extension cord adapter and b) deshroud it. Thus, I've ordered a bunch of 180° GPU power extension adapters. Potential workarounds: Mount the AIO in front of the case, sell...
