Reminds me of older case designs from Alienware. However, this is cohesive and way cleaner. Nice work! What kind of manufacturing costs are you receiving for 3d printing aluminum?

The HDPlex GaN 250/500 will fit above a GPU in the expansion, as shown below. Mounting brackets for those will be available on our site. The expansion also provides enough space for cooling loops. However, an alternate panel will be needed for 120mm & 140mm mounting. Designing that panel won't...

Here is a table of the specs for both prototypes shown: All case panels are machined from 5052 1/16" (~1.6mm) Aluminum. Then painted with scratch resistant, epoxy-resin powder coating. As is often the case with mini builds, thermals will decide CPU limits. We've tested primarily with NH-L9...

Parvus Lux PL-1TX Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! Regardless of the holiday, I bring treats for all. A “mini” teaser of a modular ITX case. The Parvus Lux PL-1TX! While the core design is close to its final state, we welcome constructive feedback and any questions. Details most likely...

Your friend is quite right, chaining multiple charge/discharge units isn't safe without additional protections. One reason Lithium batteries go spicy, is the cells not being evenly charged. That said, 18650's are safer than flat cell lithium. Simply due to the hard casing and fail-safe vents, if...

Here is the list of tested and recommended power supplies ASRock provides in the manual: Technically most laptop PSUs with the 5.5mm barrel barrel connector would do. As long as the wattage is enough for your setup. However, It's likely safer to get what ASRock says works.

Are you familiar with any CAD software or desire to learn one? Doing a mock-up in 3d might be the bast way to move forward. Get an idea of how things need to be laid out and what is an acceptable total unit size.

You can rewire the 6pins from the HDplex to the 4pins on the OpenUPS without concern. Since your limitation is the 140w output on the OpenUPS. Wire gauge is the important part and HDP has already rated those for 200w. Also the connectors are called Mini-Fit Jr. and Molex official rates them max...

Can you provide a top down image of the board? I'm not getting consistent results on google for reference. Usually the best way to remove ports like that without causing damage is to de-solder. When there are bunch of little pins on a connector it can be difficult to accomplish this with a...

I assume you only wish to modify an existing OEM system? Asrock and ASUS have some small systems but if you're on a budget you'll probably have the best luck with a used Dell, Lenovo and HP. Make sure to look up reference images and motherboard manuals before you buy. Don't want to be surprised...

This is a pretty good summary of what to consider for an ITX-Laptop design. Seems this post is a fork of Devotion: Thin ITX Laptop and I assume you are considering undertaking your own project? If you are trying to build a platform to share/market, then I believe Devotion is headed in the right...

I searched and couldn't find anything on their site or elsewhere that states that. Did you request a quote from them to find that out. I believe you, I'm just curious.

If I understand correctly, you are looking for more of a standard cable solution rather than a ribbon. Its pricy but I think the best solution would be the GPU risers made by Comino. It uses a newer connection called OCuLink, which is becoming common with server hardware...

Nice, you beat me to it. Been planning to design an external enclosure for the EPP-200 similar to this. Have you done any thermal testing under loads?

Wow, audio hardware like that is way outside of anything I've worked with before. So my curiosity peaked, I've done a bit more research. Take my findings with a grain of salt, as this is not my area of study and I could be completely wrong. As mentioned in that youtube video, the unpopulated...
