That is pretty awesome!
Are you planning to do some custom cabling for the PSU? This built is crazy different.

Antimemetic: Fully Passive GTX 1080, SFF, Scratch-built

Yup. Going to need some much shorter cables.
Love it. As for
It isn't the first. Grosbill did 3x1080 and dual Xeon CPU passive with Calyos cooling tech last year: https://www.cowcotland.com/news/55085/pc-fanless-grosbill-puissant-monde.html

.... but that ain't DIY chassis. Using retail stuff is the easy route. And as an etailer/retailer, Grosbill has easy and cheap access to those techs.
On the contrary, OP is designing and building it h(im/er)self. Well done and keep up the good job
.@GuilleAcoustic True, Grosbill's build isn't DIY. I was just replying to the question about NYCesquire's 1080 being the world's first passively cooled. His statement wasn't "the world's first DIY passively cooled 1080". I find NYCesquire's build thrilling as is Stefan1024's various builds over at https://linustechtips.com/main/topi...gtx-980-update-21-liquid-cristal-thermometer/. BTW I wish Calyos tech, 1000W blocks, pipes and radiators were available for DIY:ers. I've seen they're planning some kits to be launched through crowdfunding and in conjuction with case-makers. Not DIY either.
I agree, we need more DIY passive solutions. Impactics offers some nice blocks and heatpipes though.
There are a few online stores selling them:

This project is nuts! It's pretty cool!
I'm really impressed by the side panels only weighting under 9lbs each. It makes me wonder if someone might ever make a desk-pc-case 100% fanless (though I have no idea how one would get enough air movement for the passive PSU).

on another note, noticed that your automation reminded me of the in-win h tower.
I'm assuming a system like above would add a whole lot of volume to your build but do keep the dream alive! Would be nice if we had an SFF case with automation huh. If not, can't wait for your end product!
What about something like this?

Maybe HDPlex could gelp?

I sent an email asking about that piecie just now.
From who did you get that piece of hardware? Who are "them" exactly?

Impactics, I think.
So, HDplex responded and they don't know how the piece is called nor where to get something similar.
Thank you, I had never heard of Impactics before, I'll look into it.
And now that the GTX 1080ti is a thing, I can't wait to see what comes from your project! 8D
