Ok, but if you want to build a case of 1,5 L then there is no sense to have a 0,7 L external adapter. Better a 2,0 L case with all inside.

That's really a matter of opinion. The Micro-STX is built specifically designed to be powered brick and doesn't ,as of the last time we got a look at it, even have an internal power header.

TT Engine 27 and Zalman CNPS2X tested today.

i7-6700T Delidded, 10 min LinX, both coolers tested at the lowest rpm.

Engine 27 - 57C
Zalman CNPS2X - 67C

But Zalman is much quieter.

The MXM 1060 costs $630?? I don't see anyone buying a Micro-STX based system with that price tag. I love the concept though, I hope the price comes down. I imagine ASRock will be selling the 1060s directly, hopefully at a lower price.

Yes, MXM 1060 costs $630 :( Very expensive but very compact :)
I think Asrock can't sell MXM cards much cheaper. Maybe 10-20%.

I have an idea. I want to build this case (Nano 1.3L) from steel panels and magnets. Without glue and screws.
Motherboard will mount to case with magnets too (ring magnet + screw magnet) :)

Any updates on this magnet case idea? STX motherboard only correct?
