wow! can't wait for this. i just wish that these had an internal psu.
Yeah that is amazing. Kudos to Digital Storm on doing something outside the box. Needs MOAR ARRGEEBEE THOUGH!
Neat. But... how does air get in? I see what looks like a 92mm fan vent at the top, which I assume is exhaust, but there seems to be nowhere for air to come into the case, aside from a tiny area of ventilation holes on the back. Also it looks pretty at first, but what happens over time as dust gets in?
I'm just wondering, does a single 120mm Rad will provide good cooling performance for both GPU & CPU?
especially for i5-8600K and i7-8700K overclocked? need to see for review and cooling performance,
anyway, I just love their concept, making sff more compact with liquid cooling

Pretty sure the rad in this is only 92mm. The entire case is 4" (101.6mm) wide, so there's no way a 120mm rad/fan would fit.
ah,, I thought it was 120mm Rad, well I was browsing their website, but I can't Find the spec for project spark,
with 92mm rad, i think OCing the CPU and GPU won't be recommended, wish they could sell it as a barebone, for CPU, GPU, LCS,
Anandtech gives the dimensions as 6" x 4" x 12" (152.4 x 101.6 x 304.8mm, or 4.7L).
That pretty much goes without saying. I think MXM cards are already using binned GPUs that are more efficient than the desktop models, and Digital Storm is probably doing some "tuning" (read undervolting/clocking) on top of that, to keep thermals under control. As a system integrator it's a luxury they have to be able to carefully select and tune parts to min-max performance in a small package like this. Case designers don't get the same luxury, since we basically have to design for worst-case scenarios and lowest common denominators (otherwise people will get upset at you when their parts overheat).
I think this would do a lot better as a cube with a 140mm rad behind the motherboard.
Spoiler because off topic reply
Thanks, im slowly making the rounds and catching up on what everyone has been up to. Been a rough time the last month so ive been putting things on the back burner which included SFFn and my current projects unfortunately.Welcome back @ChainedHope
Happy to have you back, @ChainedHope .
sorry, I mean the spec for the Liquid cooling system (radiator,fan, pump, waterblock) not the dimension
edited : after watch this video from Linus, now i know, they are using Swiftech for the LCS, my bad
I forgot about that, u are right, I hope they will sale it in semi barebone, just need the CPU,GPU, LCS, case,
for sodim RAM and M.2 SSD i can buy it in my country, so i think it will make the price cheaper,
