Funding CustomMOD Nano 1.6L (based on Asrock DeskMini GTX)

I don't know, but I think we can buy it on ebay in a few months.
Best to try Aetina, they're the main vendor of NVIDIA MXM.
My impression with the whole Max-Q thing was that the cards were just somewhat down clocked to meet the best balance of efficiency vs. performance rather than trying to come close to desktop clocks and performance with similar settings.
That's what I figured. The more I read into it, Max-Q sounds like specially binned MXM to underclock and leak less voltage. Props for the aerospace related name, though

Have you needed to mill the underside of the heatsink to hit certain components or is the base flat? Also curious if you're selling the heatsink at this point.

Hey
Great work do far, really liking the design and the hope to get it down to 0.99L for the record. But you mentioned making a higher case for those wanting to use a 1080 with a better cooler. Would you also consider increasing the width of the case by around 20mm so you could add some 40mm fans to the left of the GPU pushing air down the case. Noctua make some quiet 40mm fans that can be PWM controlled: http://noctua.at/en/products/fan/nf-a4x20-pwm

Interesting idea. Maybe we'll try it.
The base is flat.
Yes, we are selling the cooler (copper heatsink 130mm x 80mm x 10mm + Sapphire 85mm fan).

I'm in love with this case! I haven't built a PC since 2011, and haven't owned a custom PC since 2013. I'd love to buy this case in the future when it's ready. I agree that making it a bit taller would be nice to accommodate larger coolers. Hyped for Micro STX to become more readily available.
Will you ever make the case a bit bigger? I'd love to get a STX case that's quiet and has viable temps, all while being smaller than a ITX case such as the S4 Mini. I know the version you are making is for the world record, but i am very interested in a PC this small and i would definitely buy the case if what i am suggesting was met. Great job overall guys!
Yes, nano case is already available in 1.6L (quiet, cold, GTX 1080) and 1.0L (world record edition, GTX 1060).

We used this cooler
Next try - Alseye IO-SH15-65. 16mm CPU Cooler. TDP 75W. We will try it on GTX 1060 MXM next Tuesday.
Stock 65mm fan is too loud and 3pin, we will change it with 65mm PWM Power Logic fan.
