Hello c:

Yeah I tend to use faces a lot... Anyway, hello c: I found this forum thanks to iFreilicht (how to tag people?) I have a huge interest in SFF systems, so much so that I'd happily destroy a normal case to make it smaller (haven't done that yet, although it may come soon)... My ultimate goal is to make a case less than 1.2~ litres in volume, does that sound possible?

use the @ symbol to tag namwes - @iFreilicht

Welcome aboard! 1.2 L is possible.. with thin-itx or NUC

What about mini STX and a few risers? And thanks for the tip about tagging.. it's the same here as it is on the other forums I accidentally linked (sorry) I really should've tried that first..

Don't worry about linking other forums, we're not the kind of people who get butthurt for someone having the audacity to read other sites! Feel free to share information, from any (reliable) source.

Mini-STX could work

Oh hey, good to see you followed my advice!

Welcome aboard !

Welcome! And definitely don't feel shy about posting links to other "competing" sites/forums. We really couldn't care less about that around here.

Welcome! This place is great!

Welcome to our (now yours as well) humble abode.

Welcome ! I'm curious about your case projects, you're aiming very high !

Welcome 8 I'm curious about your case projects, you're aiming very high !

Well, using an R9 Nano and a variety of risers as well as some ridiculousness and magic, it should work and come out to be 1.28 litres.

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

Going to make a 1.28L Tardis ?

Hopefully so, I think 2 prototypes would need to be made (cardboard one and then a case's side panel will be cannibalised) before I'd make the last thing out of sheet metal. I do think it will be quite hard though

OH, before I let anyone down with crappy build quality, I'm only 15 and have access to only simple tools like a dremmel and drill, so don't expect anything extraordinary.

 

[iFreilicht]

A Dremel is one of the most useful tools if you know how to use it, so that's a good basis for modding.

Yeah, but my hands tend to shake a lot when cutting things @GuilleAcoustic Sadly after making a small cardboard box with the dimensions for 1.28L that won't work, but 1.428L will (6.5 H, 15.5 W and 14.9 D, with two curves at the front and back removing 73cm^3)

That is still very impressive indeed. Looking forward to your project log.

Yeah, it's been increased slightly to make space for the SSD inside (6.7*15.7*14.9 giving a volume of 1567.331cm^3 removing 73cm^3 from the curves giving 1.494).

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

I like accurate values
