Hey guys I was always a fan of powerful SFF PCs. specially how the current gen PS4 looks like. so I decided to make a prototype concept case based on that. the objective was the following
1. High end CPU ( case is 82mm high)
2. multiple storage ( I currently have a problem locating where to put 2.5" SSDs/HDDs)
3. high end MINI GPUs (The GPU air flow is completely separate from the rest of the case...in addition multiple vents around the gpu side + 1 intake 120mm fans at the TOP/ or bottom if the if design changes)
4. decent temps (DUH... )
5. small overall volume (while the smallest I have seen with an internal PSU is the Sentry by Dr. Zaber at 7 litres it sacrifices a lot in terms of fans but it is relatively thin as well at 66mm) I decided to take it a bit further but eliminating the psu limitation and using HDplex)
I have a small problem as well, I want to fit the HDDs such that, they can be hot swappable if I can, like the S4 mini HDD rails. but its not the most important thing
Would love to hear ALL your suggestions (but please be constructive :/)
I WANT TO MAKE THIS A REALITY!

I HAVE ANOTHER THREAD WITH A SIMILAR CASE, BUT A BIT LARGER AT 8.6L. however compatibility is MUCH BETTER for bigger GPUs/HDD - additional gpu fan. by using FSPs Flex ATX psus. THREAD LINKED HERE -
