Received my Velka 3 yesterday and shoved my old PC into a case half the size. Love it! Some rough build photos here: Extremely happy with the entire case. There's lots of VERY clever engineering and design tidbits in here. Michael did an amazing job with it.

From the standpoint of recommending power supplies, is there a better option than FSP400-60FGGBA for the following build? Processor - AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor Mobo - Asus - ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard Memory - Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)...

Michael, will the first batch this month include the option to order with the modified PSU?

I am beyond sold on the Velka 3. Can't wait for production to start.

Has anyone seen any Deskmini GTX deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday? I see that Newegg has the 1060 for $599 after a mail in rebate which is pretty solid, but I've been looking for an excuse to pick one of these up and was wondering if there was anything else out there.

The new revision looks fantastic! Sign me up for a matte black one with a cyclone vent.

I don't know if I can help, but I can absolutely relate to this. There's something incredibly satisfying about having something that is really good and specialized at what you're doing. I've spent the last month trying to figure out what kind of setup to have though mine was simply a combo of...

So I finally took the Deskmini apart and spent some time poking around. Based on my Vernier caliper's measurements, I had the Deskmini and a 5TB drive in front of me, it would ABSOLUTELY fit if the tray was cut. Actually, based on my measurements, if you had some way to flatten the metal and...

I still haven't had time to rip it apart and start playing around with measurements. I also wonder how many mm you could gain by flattening those elevated screw mounts... I think you can absolutely fit a 15mm drive in by cutting the bottom motherboard mount, but then it becomes another...

Ah, I see what you mean, I was giving it too cursory of a glance. I'd agree that's the best and easiest way to go, good thinking! Just got my Deskmini today, holy hell is this thing tiny.

My plan of attack was to try to figure out how to raise the mounting rails for the motherboard, then completely detach the motherboard tray from the rear case. That said... I think by far the easiest way to pull this off is Ceros_X's idea. Remove the motherboard tray altogether. Have long...

So apparently you and I are kindred spirits. I have been trying to plan out a server setup in the Deskmini for the last week or so. I finally made a call and ordered one so I could try to get it to work. My thought is that it should absolutely be possible to fit two 15mm drives underneath the...

Can't wait to pick up an LZ7 during the next round, I'm loving all of the updates you're working into it. For what it's worth, I also dig the built-in power button. Even if it's a cheap solution, I like the fact that it's mostly hidden, considering it'll be so seldom used for me.

I really dig this project. Just to make sure I understand your intent... Is the idea with automating it that at a certain temperature it would separate for better airflow? Or is it just automating it for working inside the PC because it would look cool?

The RAM is also a carryover from my current build so it can be swapped if necessary, I hadn't thought of the height with the cooler, thanks! I've been out of the loop with 2.5 drives for a while so the thought didn't even occur to me to check the thickness. I'm not in a huge rush so if you...
