I really like this case but the layout really limits you on CPU cooler size. I would love to see a version with a more traditional layout, without a riser cable, that could support 130mm tall coolers like the ncase. That would allow coolers like the Noctua NH-C14, Bequiet Dark Rock TF, and 140mm AIO coolers. It would still be really small but would allow for a lot quieter operation and more powerful CPUs.

A "CustomMOD Cube" maybe...

maybe methpng like the L27 + a picoPSU or HDPLEX would be what you're looking for?
that layout would increase the volume quite a bit, I think.

Pretty much anything that is a cube will be 6.5 Ish liters minimum if you support full height gpus

Cooler master 110 or Silvestone Sg05 with a Dc power set up and tower CPU cooler gets you there maybe.. It would be a fun mod project for sure

I appreciate the aesthetics, creativity and workmanship of these indie cases though.

I believe this chassis sacrifices everything in order to achieve It's objective as a tiny game box. Even internal drives aren't officially supported. This narrow focus does come with a cost certainly in component selection etc.

That being said what you are suggesting sounds pretty good too.

exactly, with CustomMOD's extreme volume minimalism.
1070 combined with an fat tower cooler or maybe passive cpu cooling. zero noise at windows desktop.
just brainstorming...

What happened to the CustomMOD 3.99l with the FlexATX support?. The HahutzyXS appears to be stalling so was really looking forward to your equivalent.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the next batch of cases built up.

虽然我不想卖出国外,但你想要用我的图片,麻烦注明机箱名字!

Although I do not want to sell abroad, but you want to use my pictures, please indicate the name of the chassis!

We don't want to build cases more than 3.99L, it's our ideology :)

CustomMOD 3.99L with Flex ATX is possible in the future. We removed it because we want to focus on one case, on quality.

If you're planning a FlexATX build, please do it with CustomMOD slim. Slim layout is better suited for FlexATX power supplies. It will be under 3.8 liters.

Is there an option for replacing the power input hole with a square hole at the size of HDPLEX Modular Bridge? (i think it fits below the gpu ports)

And how strict are the cpu cooler and ram heights?? Do 40mm rams or 43/48mm cpu coolers fit?? In case they are not, is there any other 37mm cpu cooler out there than L9i???

EDIT: the same questions may also be asked (and answered if you want) about the other project you are developing, the 2.99L case.

just by eyeballing it I'm not sure that there's anywhere you could fit that modular bridge thing, it looks pretty huge.

It nearly has the size of a 24 pin power connector (50-55mm).
The gpu width is at least 35mm.

I really feel that it fits, that's why i'm asking.
