    Prototype A DIY kit - making custom cases easier and more approachable

    I mean the clearance required to install gpu into the PCIe slot on the mobo.

    Prototype A DIY kit - making custom cases easier and more approachable

    Removing the excess part of the bracket is a good idea. I think these sections could be made ~10mm longer so that inexperienced users aren't tempted to install the bracket without leaving the necessary clearance for the gpu install at the edge.

    Prototype *Wakizashi* Enclosed slim wall-mount 7l pc case

    Hi everyone, I'd like to share the project for my enclosed slim wall-mount SFF PC case, which I've been keeping a worklog on. In this published version, I have fixed the mistakes made in the prototype, added a few improvements, and redesigned the feet. The case is designed for building either...

    You've done a tremendous amount of painstaking work. I don't think I'd have the patience to fine-tune the computer so much to my liking🙃 If I ever travel to Greece, I'll definitely write to you and I'll be glad to meet you too.

    Very good temperature results. The lower honeycombs do look unnecessary. But I'd leave the two rows of upper vents. I think some of the hot air from the graphics card should escape through them due to natural convection. If the cover is aluminum, then 1 mm is indeed too thin. I'd consider 2 mm...

    Concept The ''Rook'' – 12.5L Vertical Mini-ITX Case | Looking for Design & Feedback

    I'm referring to mobo with dimensions up to ~200 x 225 mm. For example, the MAXSUN Challenger B760M-F, ASRock H810M-H, and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII Impact.

    Looks good. As far as I can see, the dimensions are correct? Why did you decide to turn the cover around? Is it better for the temperature?

    So, I've finished assembling NAS and setting it up. I've never used Linux, so I built the system on Windows 10 Pro, although an operating system for NAS would probably be a better solution. The assembly process went well, and the ability to rotate the drive, which I implemented in the enclosure...

    Concept The ''Rook'' – 12.5L Vertical Mini-ITX Case | Looking for Design & Feedback

    I'd add support for narrow mATX mobo with two RAM slots and 2.5-slot GPU to the Jonsbo T6. This won't affect the footprint, and the height won't increase significantly.

    This is an interesting solution. Honestly, I didn't expect PSU to end up under GPU. I thought PSU would be pressed against the side of the case, and I couldn't figure out how GPU would fit between it and the mobo. I wonder how the temperatures are going to be affected, but I think that when...

    Thank you. Repurposing the Ophion 7L for this layout is a lot of work. I'd be interested in seeing photos. I came up with this idea when I was looking at my first wall-mounted PC case with a console layout and a soundbar mounted next to it. At first, I wanted to build a case like this for my...

    Log Project *Pac-Man*. Slim wall-mount ~12L case

    Hi! While I finish up my second wall-mounted SFF build, I can start preparing for the third one. This time, I won't be building a case for actual use, but rather to test out technical and manufacturing solutions. I’ll be using my first case project as a starting point. The chassis will have the...

    Concept The ''Rook'' – 12.5L Vertical Mini-ITX Case | Looking for Design & Feedback

    Yes, that's a good solution. Don't forget to use thread sealant if the inserts will be screwed into aluminum. I don't want to discuss specific elements, as this is a matter of personal preference and may be important to you. If you want to reduce machining time, you can design elements and...
