Very interesting... whatcha gonna use for dust filters for those cool looking but dust friendly case vent holes?

 

[Sicaris]

Its like an even tinier Hutzy xs, I like it, especially as someone currently only using an M.2 for storage. How is the central board going to attach to the case? Also while I haven't any personal experience, I wonder if the divides between the vent holes will warp if you are laser cutting?

I do not plan to use dust filters

I think this pics will answer.

Also while I haven't any personal experience, I wonder if the divides between the vent holes will warp if you are laser cutting?

Yes, I will use laser cutting. Man, who will make it, said "no warping".

 

[iFreilicht]

Very cool, I want to see how this turns out

 

[fminus]

Interested as well.

I would like the same, but with an added hole in the front for Flirc. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Korkin Case (3.24L) vs Ncase M1

 

[ImperialAlex]

This escalated quickly - first post starts off with a paper box and then boom you've got it laser cut. Really cool design, I especially like the simplicity. Lots of cases end up with a complex layout with one trillion different complicated bends that require complicated setups. Unless I'm missing something this looks like one could, in a pinch, bend this in one's garage with a simple straight (non-segmented) brake!

@ImperialAlex, thanks

Today I received PicoPSU-160-XT. PicoPSU is lower than Noctua L9i and it will fit great in my case. Look at the photo.

G-Unique Plug&Play Unit (up to 400W) have the same height (36mm +-2mm). Look at the photo. 99% probability, G-Unique will fit easy in my case too.

How about the HDPlex 160W DC-ATX Direct-plug with the 80W AC-DC internal adapter?

 

[sergiiua]

How about the HDPlex 160W DC-ATX Direct-plug with the 80W AC-DC internal adapter?

HDPlex 160W DC-ATX Direct-plug - no. It's too tall (40mm+).
80W AC-DC internal adapter and HDPLEX 300W is not compatible too.

You have 2 options:

1. PicoPSU 160W (65W CPU + 75W GPU)
2. Best option. G-Unique Plug&Play unit. Not expensive, powerful, compact. For $95 you will get G-Unique Unit with 6+2 GPU connector and 300W power brick. This setup can easy handle 95W CPU and GTX 1070.

HDPlex 160W DC-ATX Direct-plug - no. It's too tall (40mm+).

Really? I may be mistaken, but the HDPLEX 160W DC-ATX Direct-Plug height is only 34.7 mm from the top of the m/b 24-pin ATX power connector when it is plugged in... rather, my concern was the width. The Direct-Plug DC-ATX is a little wide at 34.7 mm though only @25 mm of that is coming from the m/b connector towards and over the edge of the motherboard. How much room/space is there from the edge of the motherboard to the front/side panel depending on the m/b type? 10 mm right? It might just squeeze in there...

80W AC-DC internal adapter and HDPLEX 300W is not compatible too.

Again, your case being 180 x 180 mm is there not enough room on the backside of the m/b for both a single slot LP card and a 80W AC-DC Internal Adapter (121.4 x 30 x 40 mm)? What is the height of that area behind the motherboard, ~45 mm?

Overall height must be 38mm. 29mm from the top of the m/b 24-pin ATX power connector.
Space from the edge of the motherboard to the front panel is ~10mm. And space from edge of the m/b 24-pin ATX power connector to the edge of the motherboard is 2-3mm.
HDPLEX is too tall and too thick.
PicoPSU 160W overall height - 36mm (photo).

Yes, ~45mm. And yes, with LP graphics card you can use HDPLEX 80W AC-DC or HDPLEX 300W DC-DC. I just need to drill some holes for you.

Gotcha, appreciate the feedback. Great case design; I especially like the honeycomb look.

Today I received and tested Moddiy Premium Gold Plated 16x PCI-E Extension Shielded Cable Riser (30cm). Very long name
First impression - good quality and flexible enough.

Spoiler: Photos

Test Environment & Equipment:
- GPU: Zotac 1050 Ti Mini
- M/B: MSI H110i Pro
- OS: Win10
- Games: Overwatch
- Benchmark: Catzilla 720p

Results without riser:
- Bus Interface: x16 3.0
- Overwatch, fps: 161
- Catzilla, run #1: 14764
- Catzilla, run #2: 14766

Results with riser:
- Bus Interface: x16 3.0
- Overwatch, fps: 159
- Catzilla, run #1: 14796 (record )
- Catzilla, run #2: 14718

Verdict: excellent, recommended!

 

[CC Ricers]

It could be possible to support a full height card with an internal PSU up to 200w if you go with the Meanewll EPP series. Its footprint is small for 150 and 200W, only 77mm x 51mm and it is 30mm tall. It might fit in a space above the GPU provided a standard height around 110mm. You would place the PSU lengthwise, so 110mm plus 51mm still leaves 29mm for the pcie riser connection.

 

[Ceros_X]

Speaking from experience, that riser cable will give you some trouble as long as it is when you go to try and cram it into the case. I ordered one from LI-Heat that was 250mm and it is still a little long. I'd look at the HDPlex flex riser maybe.
