Reference the photo of my WD_BLACK SN750, a high performance 500 GB NVMe SSD. This version comes with the heat sink shown. I needed this device to be relocated to where I can change it out without a lot of work. So I made up a mounting plate and used a M.2 M-key cable adapter by Sintech...

This is the system driving a Dell 24” display at 1920x1200 and in the background it is playing a video on the Samsung 55” HDTV. Audio over HDMI works as does Audio to the local 3.5mm jack. I saw the BeeLink U57 mini-computer on Amazon and was amazed at the feature set for the price. I...

This is my first experience with the 8 core/16 thread Intel i9-9900K and I was worried about keeping the CPU cool. I collected these parts and started by whipping together a base plate for the prototype. I use sheet ABS because it is easy to cut and form parts as needed. As seen here the...

2018 in review. I had ordered a Ghost S1 (Kickstarter backer) in late 2017 and spent much of the year shaking my head as how mismanaged that project appeared be. However my Ghost arrived at the end of November and I am pleased with the case. February: Updated “My scratch built Sub 14L Mini...

I am starting another Mini-ITX scratch build case. This is a keep busy project and I am going to use the components from the Asus Z170I Pro Gaming system that I built last year. I am now a big fan of the DAN case A4-SFX V3 and the LOUQE Ghost S1 case. I have one of each of those cases on...

Yesterday I was working with my collection of Hackintosh systems and as I updated the OS on this scratch built mini ITX tower, I thought that some SFF Forum members might like to see this unique system and how it was created. So the build is documented on TonyMacx86 here...

Just found email from LUNA Design announcing pre-order availability of the DNK PRIME. This appears to be very well done mini-itx case at 7.8 liters. The draw is CNC cut anodized aluminum. Link: https://luna-design.org/dnk-prime#design They have my email because I purchased the DNK H a year...

As a way to introduce myself I thought that I would share one of my projects. This case was intended to be a “just for fun” quick project to re-house my thin Haswell motherboard. The LOL case is a scratch build made up from G5 Power Mac materials from my salvage bin. As this was intended...
