New ADT-Link M33JK-TL Flexible GPU Riser Cable, finally received delivery. Looks a bit different than the photos on the website, but should work fine. All thanks to @hrh_ginsterbusch for pointing me to the right direction on this cable type, solved a lot of design challenges I was facing. Now...

Hello everyone, I owe an apology for not updating about my build in a long time. I have been busy buying, testing, prototyping, many components to get the best fit. Alas, the shipping and video recording while testing these components take too long, to update the build log here. So, I decided...

Mostly build specs, like internal volume, with and without spacers, corner brackets, standoffs, etc., external overall volume, with and without legs / stubs, etc., dimensions, aluminium alloy used, sheet thickness, rigidity, flexibility, weight, anodising method. I tried accessing your website...

Correct, this guy's design has the GPU facing the opposite side, not as per my design. I only gave his reference for the case being a giant heatsink. Since he is not using a riser cable underneath anything, but using a riser card instead, he doesn't need to worry about melting a riser cable at...

My 2¢. I'm planning to go for a Type III Black Hard Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 Type III, Class 2), which is basically Sulfuric Acid Anodizing at lowered temperature & higher voltage (1000VAC @ 0°C). It's going to be black, but it won't be paint or powder-coating, rather natural oxide layer of...

Quick update. In hindsight, I need to read through each and every post in SFF.net. While perusing through @REVOCCASES's posts, I came across an interesting tip given to @hrh_ginsterbusch about a company ADT-Link, on custom riser cables. Just out of curiosity, when I browsed through this website...

Yup, I believe the correct term for the design I am aiming for, is "console case" layout. But instead of upright "portrait" mode orientation, my case would be in "landscape" mode. More on that below. Both the flexi5 and the fl6icon are a bit too big for my layout and design. However, the actual...

You are spot-on the blower design aspect, I intend to de-shroud the GPU and use the copper backplate from @REVOCCASES's X3 design, and finned copper heatsink and dual noctua fans from @robbee's design. The GPU will not have any shroud going further, taking full advantage of the side air intake...

Apologies for the very late (a year late) update. Still struggling with components and layouts. While on the path of designing and developing my custom SFF-PC, I have come across a strange and puzzling problem, for which I have been struggling to find a solution, and still scratching my head...

Unboxing and assembling of main components

First set of videos logging the process.

Motherboard and RAM finally arrive. Next step, I need to take physical measurements, head-room, spatial design, etc. and then order the power supply and CPU cooler!

I'm definitely not an Intel guy. Plus, the whole thing again walks away from the "DIY upgradability" principle.

First, and most important components, acquired. More, on the way ...

Do you think its an innocent omission, or intentional one? The other lower-end GPUs listed, are not even at par with the A2000 ...
