Stalled Hutzy XS — Ultra Compact Gaming Case (<4L)
- Thread starter Hahutzy
- Start date
The creator Hahutzy wasn't online since over six weeks. I hope nothing bad happened to him :/
I'm looking at the dimensions and it should fit if you don't use any 2.5" drives. If you have the DC-ATX mounted under the motherboard and you turn the brick on its side and mount it against the GPU side panel, then you're looking at 51.5mm width for the DC-ATX + 41mm width for the upcoming 300W AC-DC brick = 92.5mm. Plus 4mm of wall and 2mm of double sided tape/velcro for the brick = 98.5mm. And the case is 99.9mm wide so it should barely fit. It would add heat to the GPU compartment. And, again, no 2.5" drives. But you do get a passive internal 300W PSU.
That is, if Hahutzy is still on this project.
PS On second thought, the brick may hit the riser mounting bracket on the GPU side. GPU width clearance seems to be about 39-40mm and the bracket is probably 1-2 mm. And the brick is 41mm on its side. Seems like it won't work, tho we'll really need exact numbers here. If it fits, it will take force or a mod and be incredibly tight.

Any news? I just bumped into this case and loved it. Perfect case to build for a girlfriend.
Sadly it seems to have unexpectedly come to a halt. But the Custom Mod mini ITX case is quite similar to the Hutzy's design, and they've shipped a few small batches already.
I wonder why they decided to invert the motherboard and graphics card? It seems like that will just result in having a longer run for the 24-pin power cables. The quality looks really good. If my CustomMod case turns out to be poor quality, I might look into this one.
Saw this as well.. Would be great if it comes with PCIE extension cable. Guessing the required cable length is trivial but.. tedious.
Seller provides a link to an extension cable, but.. if possible better stick with LiHeat (or 3M for those who have the moolah).
Current status: Sorting out prototype v2 manufacturing

how much is your retail prize for this case design?
I am buying that, looks great!!!
See, THIS is the problem that arises when folks DO NOT READ the actual thread, when they just skim a thread & start asking questions that are usually already answered in the thread...
This project has been dead in the water for well over a year now...
But if it were still alive, I am sure Hahutzy would not want to increase the chassis dims the amount needed for a quad 2.5" SSD / single ODD combo...
