Hi there

I am Alix,

I have been following various people here on line for some time now on SFF and another forum, who have inspired me to begin my own serious case design for production. So several months of work have passed, and I have finally made the break to join the forum. From here we shall see what happens . .. .

The case is still on the drawing board for the moment (freecad, but am having a look at the Fusion 360. Seems that people rate this system), but I hope to have a prototype soon. Size currently runs to around 10.9 litres internal volume, originally was 8.9 litres but has unfortunately grown . .. . .

My test hardware will be
CPU - i7 8086 (couldnt resist the anniversary)
MB - Asus strix 370i
Ram - Corsair Vengence RGB pro
Graphics card - EVGA RTX 2080ti FTW3
PSU - Silverstone SX800 LTI - SFX L


Still waiting for the EVGA RTX 2080ti FTW3, card has been delayed.
Acrylic for prototype build has arrived, just finishing off the drawings.
Initial review with potential manufacturer scheduled for 22nd December.
Some issues with the selection of power button and usb front ports.

If it fulfills my expectations I will reveal it to the community for review and further development.

And maybe someone will actually buy one . ..

This was my last pc build





and after tidying



A lian li pc Q36 - about 25 litres, a bit big for SFF . ... . but I am a big fan of Lian li . .. and there are a number of retired Lian li cases around my house

Oh and I live in Germany

Case is a Lian Li A51 with a volume of 44 litres



My hardware is

CPU - i7 8086 (couldnt resist the anniversary)
MB - Asus strix 370i
Ram - Corsair Vengence RGB pro
Graphics card - EVGA RTX 2080ti FTW3

I have a seasonic atx power supply in this case, as a test build only.
System now runs beautifully . .. . with win 10 (see PPL Performance per litre round 2)

I am going to put it into my self designed 11.4 litre case and start testing and developing for air cooled thermals.. .. but not just yet. Still some design on going . .
