I'm considering to drop the thin versions and instead to lower the height of the other versions to 59mm (35mm max. cooler height). Has anyone who is iteressted in this project any suggestions ? @JDK @Windfall

So here is a little update on the APU version: I'm having a little problem with the sizes. Either 194 x 194 mm or 210 x 210 mm. The first doesn't fit an 2,5 inch ssd neither an HD Plex 400W DC-ATX PSU but its smaller. The second one does fit both but the size is closer to the LP-GPU version...

@JDK Sorry for the late answer. I had stopped working on it mainly out of personal reasons, but started again a day ago. I'll try and post some updated renders this weekend.:\

Thanks :D and also thank you all for the feedback. I was actually thinking about making an XL version, which would allow to fit an HDPLEX 400W brick together with an 400W AC-AC. Further more this would make it possible to fit a standard sized ATX-Mainboard in it (without an internal brick and...

https://www.legitreviews.com/mounting-a-cpu-cooler-the-heatpipe-direction-might-matter_741 It seem that the cooling performance isn't affected that much by the cooler orientation. In my case :) this should be an even smaller problem because the heatpipes of those coolers that currently fit in...

The Mainboard is mounted upside down, so the air is taken in through the bottom and exhausted through the side vents. No, but the Low Profile GPU version which is 79mm more in length will have mounting holes for the HDPLEX 160W and 80W. I could add support for Mean Well PSUs just let me know...

Yeah manufacturing in Europe is expensive, thats the reason why you have to outsource the manufacturing to china. Otherwise you'll end up with a product that only a few can afford. Servus :)

Thanks Not yet, but I'll try to make it as cheap as possible with the help of :D I've ordered it at a lokal cnc-shop here in Vienna, they asked 250€ (~285$) for a single prototype with the material cost included. I'll contact some chinese manufacturers after I've finished work on the bigger...

Thanks guys, glad you like it :D Yes I am, with the width of those holes you'll definitely need them. I have already ordered a prototype of the APU-version it should arive in about a month :)

Yes, the biggest version (65 mm x 240 mm x 340 mm) will have mounting holes for all HDPlex bricks. The thinner version will also support those bricks but most likely only in combination with KMPKTs Dynamo 360.

I'll upload a few renders of the internal layout later on, I am currently working on the versions with dGPUs. Looks like the PS1 to me :D

Hey guys, I have started working on a mini itx case for myself about two weeks ago. While working on it I decided to try and make an actual product out of it. Specifications: Dimensions: I am planning 3 versions and for each 2 heights (Mini ITX 65 mm and Thin Mini ITX 50 mm), so 6 sizes in...
