Prototype 1.0
The Deskmini stock case feels cheap & really doesn't do it justice, so I've been working on designing a replacement with better ventilation and features.
Features:
1. Its smaller. Compared to the stock chassis, the "Base width" is reduced from 80mm to 54mm, the minimum when using a L9a/L9i without SSDs. The "base volume" is reduced from 1.92L to ~1.2L. Using a larger cooler or swapping to a 120mm fan will be made possible by switching the lid, so the case is always exactly the height of the fan no matter what cooler is used.
2. Better portability by collapsing the antennas into the footprint of the frame. They are flush with the furthest protruding I/O (the D-Sub). Works with the stock antennas, but looks even cleaner with shorty ones. It works nicely on the a/x300 and should also work on the Intel boards with some adjustments.
3. Removable rear panel for accessing m.2. and Sata ports, and 4. Rear-facing m3 hole pattern for attaching an m.2 eGpu -OR- an expansion tray for holding SSDs or disk drives. This is still being designed.
5. 16mm Vandal switch, however this may be changed to something smaller (a 12mm) for greater compatiblity as the clearance is tight.

There's some fitment issues I am working on fixing for the next prototype.[/SPOILER]
