Black OSMI rev. 2 build

[Vitamin Moto]

I see. No idea though. There isn't any space left for mounting anything, so I would guess it's a manufacturing process thing.

I can see now that your cutouts are different than mine. It could be, that 1070 will fit through the holes. I would wait for the card, before unscrewing bottom plate.

 

[K888D]

They look like HDD mounting holes?

 

[TinyAudio]

Which side of the case does the slimline DVD fit between the inner and outer case?

 

[Vitamin Moto]

The optical drive mounts like this:

And K888D was right, those holes are for HDD/SSD 2.5" drives.

Very cool to think that you can basically fit a Bluray drive, a 2.5", a 3.5" and a M.2 solid state drive into one of these cases. Probably weighs a tonne after everything's squeezed in there though!

 

[Vitamin Moto]

Seems like you have to choose right motherboard to fit these 2.5" drives inside the case. Usually 24 pin power connector goes right below where this 2.5" drive sits. This is not possible with my Asrock Z270 board. In the picture we can see, that 24 pin is at the "top" sort of speak. Also, BigShuriken cooler blocks 24 pin, if it's located at the top, how it is in picture.

With case so small, you have to check and measure everything, before buying stuff

Might be a bit late for you, but here's a lot of information about the fan curve for the SF450 and SF600 power supplies:

Stumbled upon a great YouTube timelapse video, that very nicely illustrates the pains of installing GPU inside OSMI

does the Osmi include an SFX bracket to cover that area if you're using an external PSU? I have the chance to purchase the case for relatively cheap, but I didn't want to spend more just to buy an SFX power supply...

Nope. Have to get that custom made or just cut a piece of perspex from your local hardware store.

Where can one aquire one of these cases? They seem to not be available in the United States.

Email the company, and they will help you out. They can ship to the US!

Is it possible to purchase the case on its own?

 

[Windfall]

Yes. Just email them.

 

[Spartex]

The OSMI Cases are now exclusively available at https://spartexpc.com. We are the sole distributors for North America for HG computers

 

[Spartex]

Is it possible to purchase the case on its own?

Yes we are selling just the cases on their own

 

[SiG]

Thanks! I'll be looking into it. You guys should have someone list the OSMI cases in PCPartPicker too.

Most definitely, thank you for the feedback! We will be contacting PCPartPicker

To the OP, would a Noctua NF-A15 PWM be a suitable substitute for a fan? I'm not sure what kind of mounting holes the OSMI uses for its case fan.

 

[Spartex]

@SiG Unfortunately not, as the mounting holes on the NF-A15 PWM are 140x150x25. The OSMI case uses 140X140 dimensions for the case fan.
