I am currently in the process of designing a Mini Itx case and I am in need of advice as to how I should power the rig, I'm intending to use a R7 1700 and a GTX 1080ti and going off rough calculations I'll need around a 500Watt Peak PSU, I have seen a post on G-Unique Power supplies but I am...

Hi all, So i've recently (and very, very luckily) acquired both a Dan Case and an Nvidia 1080 Ti FE. I had an existing system with an i7 6700k + Noctua L9i and an ASRock gaming z170 itx mobo. So i upgraded my build with the new case and card and have a couple questions: 1: Any insight/tips on...

This build is my second try at making the most portable and powerful PC that I can possibly make. With each build the system keeps getting smaller and smaller. The ultimate goal will be for it to become completely portable, i.e. battery powered, which is my next step. I ordered an HDPLEX 400W DC...

Hello everyone, I thought I would share with you my custom laser cut case inspired and assisted by Colinreay. If you like what you see here you should definitely check out his original design the 'Monolith'. At this time the case is 90% complete. I need to cut the second side panel but before...

Finally!

On this site there are many different cases that have been made or reviewed but to find the one you want it can be hard so I would like this thread to be purely about cases for SFF. For example somebody could post the dancase a4 and give some specs about it along with some images (images are...

Is anyone currently using a 1080 Ti in their SFF build? If so, how is the noise and temps?

So the NFC S4 Mini is $200 and not even available. Because of the price tag I was deterred and wanted to look elsewhere. And then an idea came to my mind as my school have a fairly big 3d printer. I thought maybe I could make a 3d cad file of the S4 mini or the S3 mini. I may not do it but I...

Hi all- I'm Henry, a motion/UX/UI designer and fledgling product designer from Brooklyn. Just wondering if any of you guys are in the Tri-State or the city proper. Looking to share resources (specifically looking for a reasonable water jet fabricator in the city), tips, tricks, and possibly...

Hey guys, Ive been into SFF builds for a long time, really enjoy the creativity and planning it takes to put a powerful rig into one, and I absolutely love some of the cases Ive seen made in this community. One of the main things I enjoy about some of these cases is that they are extremely...

Hello SFF enthusiasts, I've been working on a case list that started out as a mini-ITX list that would fit under my local airlines' carry-on regulations and since then has been expanded with the help of the folks over at r/sffpc. I would like to make the list as comprehensive as possible and...

Hey guys! I was doing a Google search about the worlds smallest motherboard with a 1151 socket, and I just found this one. See how awesome this little thing looks! Unfortunately, I think they are not available for the general public, only for specific requests. Anyway, I think it would be cool...

Hello everyone I am currently designing my own SFF case. I have spent a lot of time to look up all the measurements I need, but there are still a few which I have not yet 1) What should the diameter for the screw-hole be? 2) What length 6-32 screw should I use if the plate I am...

Hello everyone I am currently looking into making my own (U)SFF case. I chose to make it out of aluminium as this material has a couple qualities which i like. I will use the Parvum Mod-Cubes to hold the case together so there is no frame as the Panels make up the whole structure. The only...
