Another thing worth mentioning which I haven't thought about until now is that you can actually install a 3.5" hard drive if you are using a direct plug dc-atx psu such as the g-unique.
Now that the design is pretty close to being finalized at this state, I will be searching for manufacturers to produce the first prototype. If you have any suggestions or things to look out for please let me know. :)
Sorry, I just fixed the measurements from the previous design. I was considering adding a usb header but I have to see what the community thinks of it; thanks. The size currently is around 4.95L not accounting for the volume of the sheet metal within the interior of the case.
Yes it is still under 5L and has a bottom mounted fan too. I instead made the main compartment of the case slightly shorter to accommodate for the size and also make room for the front SSD.
So after this new design I'm happy with the outcome but I'm considering using 1.5mm aluminum instead of 2. The reason for this is so that the case is lighter, I can place holes closer to the bends, cheaper cost, and with this new design it should be stronger even with a thinner metal.
what do...
Thank you for your input :)
So what you're saying is something like this?
As for the divider it could be a possible addon for those using a Flex PSU. My only concern with this however is that many Flex PSUs have vents on the top of them so putting a divider or cover would increase temps. This...
Another quick update: Added compatibility for another slim fan on the bottom which can be substituted for an SSD. This will both slightly improve the temps of gpu and the cpu but will require you to use an M.2 Drive unless I figure out somewhere else to put an ssd mount.
I plan for it to be under the motherboard like this since there really isn't anywhere else on the case to put it. It shouldn't impact the bottom ventilation too much since it's passive and most of the case's air intake is from the sides. (Red is the 2.5" drive/SDD)
I have also updated the...
Here's the same layout; it will fill a flex psu and the gigabyte cards just like the old version. The only difference is that it will require a c14 cable. I prefere this design better because it has better gpu compatibility and more room for the gpu to exhaust.
Here's another layout I made which I'm not too sure I with go with. It's actually slightly smaller than the current design and can accommodate the 1080ti mini which would outperform any of the compatible gpus from the other design. It still will fit the oversized Gigabyte cards and 2 92mm case...
Thanks for the input, I've fixed the top flange but wasn't able to add flanges to the sides because they would be too close to the cutouts. They are still able to rest on the side of the chassis however.
