Production case SX1 6.8L / SX2 7.5L by Custom_MOD

[Loct]

So I just received my #8 batch case.


Intel Core i7-8700K Boxed
Asus ROG Strix Z370-I Gaming
Gigabyte GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC 11G
Cryorig C7
G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR
Corsair SF600
Samsung 960 EVO 500GB

As mentioned before, the only problem I encountered is the positioning of the power connector of the SF600. An awesome case nonetheless!

You can have him make a custom case for you that fits those specifications, as I recently did, just make sure to specify where you want the extra width to go as I did (i.e. total width 150mm, add 20 to motherboard side and 10 to GPU side).

do you have pictures? and does it cost more?

nice build, quick question: does the side pannel flex or its sturdy? I really want the honeycomb design too. also, does the usb connector interfiere with the gpu?

I haven't recieved the case yet, just wanted to let you know that you *can* change the specifications of the case. My case cost $239, and its specs were 305 (Depth), 150(width) and 200(Height), totaling at 9.15L the cost includes shipping and the riser. I also ordered mine unpainted, so it should be here in about a month and once it gets here I'll make sure to show pictures!

just placed my order for a sfx mid 6.8l batch 14 with 10mm added in length and 10mm added in width on the gpu side to make sure the 2070/2080 strix fits (total is 7.5l) honeycomb design FTW! @sergiiua I modified the form to change the mesurements, is it OK or you will have 2 orders to my name?

Hey all,
My batch 6 arrived much later than expected. Because it arrived so late, I moved on to using a different case.

I wanted to offer up my case for sale here in case anyone wanted one more quickly. Includes plexiglass side panels.

Below are pictures- PM me and we can work out sale in continental USA.

In my batch 1 case you can't. Looks like you maybe able to with the AIO version though.

Hello all,
I'm very interested in these cases, but I'd like to know something. On the first page of this thread, it is said that the SFX case mini 5.9L can handle a GPU with these specifications : length <278mm, height <140mm, width <40mm. However, when I click on the Facebook page with the photo, specifications are a little different : "<287mm, height <151mm". So, which one are the true one ? Sorry if this question has been already asked before, I don't have the strenght to read the previous pages.

I want to fit a MSI GTX970 in this case, this is why I ask the question. According to MSI, this card have these specifications : "27,7 x 14,0 x 3,5 cm". So I guess it can fit in both scenarios, but I'd like to be sure before, and of course, if the solution is ""<287mm, height <151mm"", I have no doubt it will fit

Sorry for my bad english, isn't my native language.

I have had a GTX780, GTX970 and GTX980ti in my case with no problems. You just need to make sure the GPU is the standard two slot width. Also long as the GPU isn't thicker than two slots you are okay. If the GPU is very long then the power button can be moved to make more space, but with a GTX970 I think think they made them long enough to need the extra space. But it sounds like you already know it will fit so you are okay. The difference in the measurements is based on where the power button is installed.

All you batch 8 guys in the USA who have gotten your cases recently. Mine just got shipped a few days ago. How long did it take your to arrive once it was shipped? So far mine has made it to "Departure from outward office of exchange". Thinking I have a few more weeks at least, but it felt like some of you guys got yours really fast once they started shipping. Thanks in advance

Less than a month for mine.

I finally got around to mounting my front-panel audio. My order was for a single headphone socket and came with this cable:

I thought it looked a bit odd at the time as I thought there was meant to be another plug-insert signal or something. I tried the cable today and found my headphones didn't work.

I found the following wiring diagram from here:

Seems like the sensing signals (the two unused tabs on the connector) need connecting to pins 7 and 10 on the socket.

Can anyone confirm? @sergiiua, what do you think?

yes on some motherboards does not work. I learned this too late. I no longer use this connector.

Found recently more suitable, but it's too big.

What's the latest with Batch 9 ? Not received any tracking yet

 

[crazydave48]

For anyone looking for a bag for their case, I picked up THIS one from amazon and here is a few pics. My 6.3L case can lay flat inside and stack a few things on top (keyboard or cables) or it can sit upright and there are a few inches on the side you can use. It also comes with padding dividers that I used for extra support inside.

We have not received the details from the painting yet. This week they promise to send.

Now the painting is part 9 and part 12.

Is its possible to get a glossly finish with the powder painting? If not, is it possible to get it unpainted?
