About us
Hello world!
We want to introduce our small company for the SFF community, we have named our brand Gemcases – to highlight that there is something special in our cases, a word Gem symbols piece of the soul that we put into created products.
Today our company consists of three people: an engineer, a chief engineer and a designer. Our chief engineer is a PC user with over 25 years of experience (hello Win98) and throughout his life he has been in tight contact with the PC as of studying, improving, and helping others build their own PC. Also, due to the necessity of his main job, he has been professionally working in CAD programs, working with metal and wood for over than 8 years, so he can truly apply his knowledge in creating new cases for PCs.

just scale it to accommodate P1 and get rid of these pesky fans
I've had several whole PCs smaller than a P1 alone, so I'm not sure that requirement really fits the SFF philosophy. This isn't a dig - I get the whole quest for silence thing, but the trade-off is usually chassis size.

there's a huge issue with mITX cases availability, you either get a "laptop" form factor, with the same footprint and noisy cooling or mATX case unable to accommodate mATX motherboards due to weird internal structure
with pico-PSU and mITX board you can squeeze P1 into much less than 20x20x20cm and if you put a KalmX in it in around 25x25x20cm, though that would be a lot of heat to take care of, but with a case as open as this one it would probably still work just fine, that's what I'd love to get

surely that doesn't get the volume as low as many of popular small cases do, but the footprint isn't big and you don't sacrifice the acoustics, especially when compared to LC based builds that simply never get quiet

Depending on your needs and tasks, there is no one clear solution.
Our build task is gaming PC with medium workstation load and it is very quite, coolers can be heard only in 10cm from case. Even under very heavy load(CPU burner+Furmark) there is just some regular mild noise coming from PC.
We have:
CPU i3-13100
DDR4 16gb 3200
GPU RTX A2000
You can't say definitely small CPU cooler is bad this only means that such config not suitable for you.
P.S.: You can PM me at Discord: Gemcases and we can discuss further steps in creating custom case just for you.

my goal is a build I will never be able to hear, even under full load, even during summer heat waves
and even A12x25 inside a case under my desk starts to annoy me at around 650RPM so there's really not a lot of space for enforced airflow, it surely can be used to improve the cooling a tiny bit but I'd rather use it as a last resort for these heatwaves than rely on it daily
currently I'm running 7950X with 90W PPT and substantial CO, but I don't remember these numbers with A2000 cooled with Accelero S3, I'm still figuring some things out like reducing airflow restrictions in the case and looking for a smaller PSU as full ATX literally doesn't fit but it works pretty well for now
in general that's a build I'm likely keeping for a while, but I may want to move to 4000 Ada SFF in the future, but not just yet, I'll let people figure out the cooling again and hope the price drops to a more reasonable level in the meantime

I wanted to ask is it possible to fit the HD plex GAN 250W powersupply in the case or not. Thank you
