From Aliexpress they seem to have a few offerings that may intrigue. I think these prices include a PSU

Cemo 1001 ITX HTPC - LP expansion slots x3, Flex PSU, WITH disc drive, cpu cooler height of 60mm (likely more)
300x220x100mm


Cemo 9001 ITX HTPC - LP expansion slots x2, Flex PSU, NO disc drive, cpu cooler height of 60mm (likely more)
330x220x95mm

Cemo 9000 ITX HPTC - NO expansion slots, Flex PSU, NO disc drive, cpu cooler heights of 60mm
282x220x95mm

Cemo 7001 ITX HTPC - NO expansions slots, DC-DC psu, No disc drive, cpu coolers of up to 34mm
240x205x70


How would I get the most gaming capable rig out of one of these? I'm hoping Zen APUs really impress and run dual graphics with less headache.

You could get the 9001 and put in a low profile MSI 1050ti which should be available in the not too distant future.

They look interesting, but I'd be worried about Jonsbo-esque airflow and sharp edges issues

Customer is having a CEMO 1001 (not my first choice ;) shipped to me to do an install, if you are interested in my thoughts. They aren't worth much (my thoughts, that is.)

The CEMO 9000 has some cutouts in the back for video and other outputs, interesting.

It may be worth modding the back of that case so you can mount a full-height video card, beside the motherboard cooler. A 250w Flex PSU would handle a RX 480 or GTX 1060 no problem. Couple that with a Thermaltake Engine 27 for the cooler and you're in business.

Yea totally, I would love to hear your thoughts. How much do you think they are worth?

Never heard of CEMO. Sort of Streacom, Jonsbo line. But less pricey. Fit and finish when seeing in real life would be interesting.

Pretty good overview, looked better than 90+% of other YouTube videos. Not too long, not too short.

updating the thread from the dead :),

thanks for the update vid josh. just shows how committed you are to the community,

this is how I love this site, whenever I saw a good project for a case I just do a quick google search and behold! sff forum is always there first.

anyways I like the size and the price but I might get the cemo 9000 series which s a bit smaller and do a small dremel mod at the back for a 1050lp, since checking from the pictures posted the orientation will work, will update this again :)

cheers!

I saw in the comments of a taobao posting that someone already did that, looked not so great but it worked!

Btw that Lazer3d case on the forum should be out soon and appears to be the same as what you are wanting.
