How small is small?

[Bustin]

How small is small form factor. I've seen cases as big as 11L called sff. Because if 11L is sff why aren't we making full atx sff cases?

Anything under 20L is SFF, according to many specifications.

In no particular order:

• ATwentyX
• NCASE Concept
• Spartan
• Cerberus-X (which I can't find the link to...)

Guess it depends on what's inside. A Prodigy with ITX and even full WC is not SFF ....

The same Prodigy with LGA2011 EATX, CPU AIO and 3x Titans is IMHO SFF friendly.

I dunno... as Biowarejak pointed out, you'd have to describe the NCASE M1 as a big case according to Bustin's criteria, which is absurd.

for what it's worth, in this document the following is stated

@Bustin could you name drop a few around the >11L range? to get an idea where you're coming from

 

[Biowarejak]

I was like, who's that, and then realized it was OP no sleep for the win!

And anyways yeah I'd really like to understand how 11 Liters could house an atx system, I'm not aware of anything getting down that low.

 

[Bustin]

If sff is considered 20L or less.. we definitely need more sff atx cases...

I was specifically looking at designing cases around 7L.. 8 at most but it's mostly because I've always loved making things smaller for sizeerformance

You bring up a good point. I'm just sitting here with my Jonsbo RM2 because nobody has anything smaller yet
