Hello to all fans of ultra compact PCs but with full power! I state that I am Italian is that the text is translated.
I have always had the passion to create my smallest PC possible and after having purchased my 3D printer and started modeling the PC case I am experimenting with the smallest PC case in the world! ?
From what I know the smallest in the world with full length video card is the velka 5 with 5.7 liters of volume (practically impossible to find) followed by the sentry itx (in my possession) of 6.9 liters to get to the dan a4 with 7.2 liters.
My project started by printing the components of the pc in 1:10 scale ? with the 3d printer to find the best match to make everything fit in as little space as possible, the result is that the best match I found is similar to velka (the most little note).
For now the model is open on the facades (I like it, the components are beautiful to look at)
After creating, modeling and printing the first model (code name: "Doctor Case Mark I" ???) I immediately noticed certain bug fixes to be fixed so I modified the project and added space for 3 40mm fans of the noctua for the heat produced by the video card and increased the structure of the pc case.
I reprinted the "second model" and the result was excellent in my opinion.
The "compatible" components are:
- mini itx motherboard
- CPU cooler height 37mm (noctua l9i or a compatible also with ryzen 3950x or i9 9900k, obviously no overclocking)
- ram max 40mm high (Crucial Ballistix rgb are fine)
- psu solo sf (i have a corsair sf600)
- no SSD but only the nvme present in the motherboard
- video card up to 296mm (approx.) I have a 2080ti rtx
Doctor Case Mark I:
307mm x 113mm x 175mm = 6.07l
Doctor Case Mark II:
301mm x 110mm x 172mm = 5.69l (passed the Velka 5!)
I am already working on the third model to reduce the volume if possible and with further bug fixes and embellishments (I wanted to create an interchangeable part with printable 3d objects)
I wanted to share my project with you, I attach the photos!
