Yes, right now, this is the best option that I found. Сase will be around 1.23L (151mm*195mm*42mm), but I want it to be less than 1L. I need to find more slimmer PSU. Requirements are:
D < 150mm
W < 60mm
H < 30mm (HDPLEX = 40mm)
Wattage > 150W
Input Voltage = 19V

I bought another GPU cooler. Aluminum, 2 copper heat pipes, 11.5mm, from 8800 GTS.

Now I have a wide choice, I am ready for any situation (any CPU height):
- CPU cooler Alseye IO-SH15-65 (17mm with copper plate)
- Copper GPU cooler from 8800 GT (15mm)
- Aluminum GPU cooler from 8600 GTS (13mm with copper plate)

Here is a power supply that is under 30mm in height, the EOS ULP180-1312. It is only 19mm in height, one of the slimmest PSUs of this kind. But it's not gonna be cheap

He needs it in a 19V format. 19V is pretty much a laptop AC Adapter spec and damn hard to find an internal PSU with that output.

You'd have to take an additional step of using a DC-DC converter or search far and wide.

Wow! Great size. I can build a 0.8L brickless case with such a small power supply. But, as I understand, It doesn’t work with 19V as motherboard does, only with 12V, 15V, 24V, etc.

 

[CC Ricers]

Ah, I forgot about the 19V requirement. That'll require a step up or step down converter which complicates the size fit issue. I just quickly found this step down converter for 190 watts.

I'd hit up Chuwi for an official input spec. Most of these boards seem to be 12-19V.

 

[chinevo]

Chuwi says, that Higame Mini PC will be officially published this Thursday. I'm looking forward to.

 

[sgtspiff]

This is good news. I've signed up on Chuwi in hope of getting the little machine this fall (optimistic). Hopefully by then someone has made a new heatsink for kaby lake-g and I will have a rather quiet and small rig.

HiGame introduction video

CHUWI HiGame comes in 2 variants:
1. TDP 65W. 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-8305G Processor + Radeon™ RX Vega M GL Graphics, 8GB RAM + 128GB M.2 SSD storage.
2. TDP 100W. 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8709G Processor + Radeon™ RX Vega M GH Graphics, 8GB RAM + 256GB M.2 SSD storage.

As I understood from the video, they will use Samsung 950 Pro M2 SSD.

HiGame is now live on Indiegogo
I've already backed Super Early Bird HiGame i7-8709G/8Gb/256GB version for $999 !

The motherboard is exactly what I need for my build:

Just wondering what advantages the higame has over the standard hades canyon nuc?
If some one released a model with internal ac/dc psu it would be an instant buy to save me cobbling something together.

In my specific case, the main advantage is potential size of the build. The M/B from Hades does not fit for 0.59L case.

Is the motherboard inside the HiGame a Mini STX (5x5)?
I've been wanting to do a similar form factor build but on the AMD side for a while now. The 8709g looks very similar in performance to a Ryzen 2400g but much cheaper than Hades Canyon (granted, Ryzen APUs are system memory dependent and you're limited to SODIMM here). The problem with the 2400g is the same as you're having with Hades Canyon: getting the motherboard. I've just been patiently waiting for ASRock to release an AM4 Mini STX board which they did show off as a prototype at Computex this year, but haven't promised a full release. Meanwhile, the Udoo Bolt Kickstarter has gone up which is an even smaller board with similar performance, just at a higher price. My question is this: once these Ryzen options fully come to market, is there any advantage to Hades Canyon to justify the price in this case?

The Udoo Bolt is Ryzen embedded, not these Frankenstyle IntelAMD chips.

You could Disassemble the HDPLEX 160 and save some PSU space.
