Does the usual rules for airflow (front&bottom intake, top&rear exhaust) still applies as usual in a small case (<12L)?
Sorry for the mobile screeshot.
I'm sketching up a simple shoebox case based on the sg13.
Instead of using the front as intake, i opted for the top as intake instead. This so i could use a lowprofile cooler and have the intake to complement them.
This also allows me to further reduce the height.
Still, im not so sure about the airflow as would do well because it is so close from the roof to the motherboard, im afraid it would only create turbulamce in the area around it.
I havent made any prototype yet and i dont vape so i cant really test it out.
Sorry for the mobile screenshot as i dont have a pc right now and the app doesn't let me export to something else unless i pay.
This is left-side view (right to left) and top view (bottom to top). The smallest cube/grid is 5mm.
The "main vent" is actually the only vent in this casing. It extends from the top cover till the bottom of the left/gpu side.
The 140mm fan is the only intake.
These are the right side view and front view. In the right-side, the ssds are hidden while in the front view, the psu are hidden, for clarity.
As you can see, there's no vents on this side as i intend to allow the case to be stood either shoebox-like, or tower-like.
With that shown, what do you guys think? Will that vent and that single intake be enough?
