This thread acts as the main thread about the XWORKS 70 xFrame SFF chassis.
We will try to answer/discuss and provide as much information as possible on the choices made and the ongoing evolution of the xFrame series.
XWORKS 70 xFrame

I have several of these FPC (Flat Printed Circuit) ribbon cable M.2 M-key extenders, see this as an example of the most recent unit I have tested:
These are great because of their compact size and will always fit well underneath sandwiched GPUs and such extremely tight SFF environments...
Smol X1 and Big X1: Not just another sff case
Hello everyone!
I'm very proud to introduce to you the Smol Big X1 and Smol X1. You might have seen the Smol X1 before, as I've posted it here before, and I'm very active on reddit too (u/SmolSFF). I just finished the design of the Big X1. It's just...
3LVIS: (3) (L)itre (V)ery small case with (I)nternal psu and (S)creen
Part 1: The journey begins
Introduction
This build was inspired by (or blatantly copied from, depending on how you look at it) the build log by BaK titled "B01T3 ...a 3L Brickless APU Build..." - genius title btw, love the...
Hello again. I've finished my visual prototype of my case, and I personally think the front isn't great, but the side panels look pretty good.
Not much else changed, the Rad bracket does still have widened mounting holes for more room. The two side panels, and the top panel are all connected...
I have found an extremely space efficient mATX layout supporting many mainstream components. My goals were to have:
To have absolutely, the smallest, most reasonable fully mATX compatible case possible.
Support for a 240mm AIO.
Mainstream PSU support, it being SFX and SFX-L.
A simple build...
Back at it again, but this time, I figured out how to make my larger cases substantially smaller, without too much compromise. So now here are those ideas with a slight redux.
16.6L tower has been eliminated as a viable option. All cases support:
SFX-L PSUs up to 125mm long.
mATX and ITX.
Liquid...
First SFF build, first custom loop, first RGB...a lot of firsts for me. And it went...slowly. Parts were not available, something came broken, didn't fit, wasn't compatible, needed to order something I didn't realize I needed...etc. It's not perfect by any means, but I'm happy the way it turned...

it's very, very difficult. You got me thinking about size again, and yet which is better? Maintain the size of the Xbox with large iron restrictions or make an enlarged version with a volume of about 10 liters, which even water cooling will fit...
After the creation of Aquanaut, there seems to be many requests for reservoir feature either included with the water block or as a separate unit. So this is what this project is about ?. But I will need your suggestions. Lets gather ideas from other threads on this particular subject and let me...

Project Name : Obelisk
Features
- layout - traditional, PCIe 4.0 friendly
- 3 slot cards support (primary)
- custom cooling (Aquanaut) friendly
- 240mm/280m...
Hi everyone, my name is Argofisto and today I want to present a design that I have been working on for a while.
It consists of a 16.8-liter pc case with a lot of compatibility.
The main objective is to create the smallest micro-atx case with a normal but vertical layout, obtaining the...

Fixed:
1. In release stands, pci riser will be attached to the stand
2. We decided to add ventilation holes under power supply
3. Slightly changed the position of the holes for the ties / Velcro tape
4. Changed the mount for ssd, now you can put another one
5. Bracket for 120/92mm aio (and maybe...
Recently, I thought: why there is still not a single case made of anodized MILLED aluminum for custom watercool?
What do you think about this idea? Front - distribution plate with touch power button.
It's good idea? aprox price ~300$
Thanks for any comment

Hi everyone!
I hope you are staying safe and healthy during these tough times.
I want to share a case that I hope to start selling soon. The design in question is a 10L, inverted-tower style composed of flat acrylic panels. I made and sold a few cases with a nearly identical layout last year...
