    Concept FormD T1 V2.0

    OK, so it is indeed an M1 then. Pictures say it all. Same everything, 7 years later. Which is not to say that it will be a bad case or anything, as the M1 pretty much placed the SFF industry on its toes, by itself... but we should name things for what they are, shouldn't we? PS: which is which?

    Prototype Lazer3D LZX-Series (CNC, Triple Slot, M-ATX)

    Overall, the new line looks amazing but this just takes to a different level: It goes from a very good looking computer case to... furniture. Which is good, as it looks classy and up-market.

    Isn't the C4 just an NCASE M1?

    Why? Maybe somebody loves your unique design enough to want it on top of their desk, but have the needs and the wants to place the radiator somewhere else, and thus make the build completely and absolutely silent.

    In your opinion, is there a significant difference between a 120mm AIO and the L12? I have to rearrange my case components and getting rid of the AIO might make my life a lot easier, specially if I go the 3080 FE route.

    I am because I have to be. If the psu is sucking hot air it will be operating at very high rpms... and this means noise. Which is a problem because the SF750 is very silent under normal operational conditions.

    Fan control has to be based on a mix of both wattage AND temperature. Because you could cook the psu just by using it at less than the starting wattage for the fan to start on a very hot environment, and it would be a huge design failure. So, it certainly has both. Now, the 750W unit from...

    I believe you need to look at it the other direction. New psus can afford to operate passively precisely because they are so efficient. Efficiency means that the psu produces very little residual heat from converting 220AC to 12DC... but I doubt that they are designed to be able to absord 200%...

    Yeah... but look at the pressure difference, which is huge. ---- I really really want to get a FE RTX3080... but I'm wondering what will happen with the components inside my T1. 300+ W is not a small amount to be dissipated, specially with one of the fans blowing directly towards the psu...

    Late reply, but DON'T. Current SFX power supplies are very efficient. This means that they produce very little heat themselves. What do you think will happen if you make them suck on 100+ W of heat when they themselves will never produce more than 60W or 75W (if we are talking about the SF600...

    SFX psu have very short cables. They might not reach where you want them to depending on where you place the psu. I'm sure you already know this, but just saying :)

    The cooler is a Corsair H60 If you flip the case and put some sort of long legs to it the fans are helping exhaust from the gpu just as well.

    Funny story: the first time I heard about "wrong gpu orientation" was when the first decent vertical motherboard cases appeared: SILVERSTONE FT02. Then many people discovered what "wick" means when talking about heatpipes and how orientation affects its cooling capacity. Simply put: a heatpipe...

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, my 2070 Super would sag like crazy becasue of the riser. My STRIX not so much now. First time I was about to bend the riser I was like "mine gotta be defective since its impossible to get it at that angle" ? I was scared to break it, I shit you not. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO THERE...

    Hey guys! Between coronavirus, life itself and others I wasn't able to assemble the computer until now. I'll share 3 images and a few comments: So, comments: a) Some of you made some sort of vudu. I swear I have no idea how this configuration fits ( @NavicNic on reddit, not sure if he...
