I did think of this, hence 290mm and not 300mm. That way you'd have at least 10mm off the end of the card to run cables in a typical ITX+front SFX case. IMO running the cable at the front makes the most sense for the common layouts. This I had not thought of, and rather unfortunate if true. I...

I'll throw in my two cents. I'd be happy with the old reference dimensions (267x111x40mm) as a new SFF standard. I'd be cautious of breaking it up into multiple standards though so as to not split an already niche market and cause consumer confusion. I'd like to see recessed PCIe power...

It's 130mm wide. Additionally, the distance between the clips that hold the side panels is 138mm wide, so just a bit too tight for 140mm fans on the bottom. I can't really see a way for a 280mm rad to fit.

@Gingerbeer is correct, the total internal depth is only available for the GPU because of the cutout at the front of the chassis: The cutout has been present since V1, but I enlarged it slightly in V6 for better GPU support at the margins.

IIRC I made the top and front panel slightly wider for V2 to aid panel fitment, but this prevented the V2 (and later) top panel from being backward compatible with the V1 front panel, since the newer top panels are slighly too wide to fit between the V1 front panel's flanges. However, the...

You're right, the magnetic filter for the side was introduced with V4, not V5. Here's the changelog.

Just FYI, the magnetic dust filter for the side was added for V5 V4, while the bottom magnetic filter was added on V6. Earlier versions did include dust filters, but they are square plastic-framed filters that have to be screwed into 120mm fans on the bottom or side.

That's the one, @GuilleAcoustic. Only about a hundred ever made. Also featured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I don't have that information, unfortunately.

Depends on how much room the power connector has, but otherwise the reference AMD 7900 looks like it should (just) fit.

You either need very low power parts or a LOT of surface area and widely-spaced fins for a truly fanless build. Check out MonsterLabo for what that looks like. 1U heatsinks like the Dynatron are designed to work with high CFM fans in a 1U rackmount case. If you take a look at the datasheet it...

How are you planning to cool the CPU? That's what'll most likely drive the height, not the USB ports.

Afterkmarket PC phase change cooling was a thing in the early 2000s (e.g. Asetek Vapochill and Prometiea) among overclocking enthusiasts. It was the only way to get sub-ambient (or even sub-zero) temperatures. They weren't that practical though, as they were bulky and used a bunch of electricy...

Hey no worries. I accept your apology and I appreciate your humility. It's good to get the story out there for people regardless.

Please don't impute intent without knowing the full picture. There were circumstances leading up to the cessation of production that I could not disclose at the time. I wrote the original notice (which W360 later edited to sound more positive with an eye to his planned replacement) and I felt an...

The M1 is no longer available and will not be restockedd, unfortunately.
