Hello to everybody, I tell you what I'm looking for: I wery simple kind of case that I can't find...
I want to put inside:
Mini ITX board.
Power supply HD Plex Combo:
http://www.hd-plex.com/HDPLEX-160W-DC-ATX-Power-Supply-16V-24V-Wide-Range-Voltage-Input.html
http://www.hd-plex.com/HDPLEX-Internal-160W-AC-DC-Adapter-with-Active-PFC-and-19VDC-Output.html
I don't like the idea of external adapter...

1 or 2 2,5 SSD.
If it's possible better if I can fit one low profile one slot Graphic.
I'm looking for a very small case but with a good ventilation for CPU.

This could be perfect but there is no space for HD Plex and also I can't fit a low profile one slot Grapic card.

Something a little bit bigger...

If you got creative and used a short GPU (fit the AC-DC unit in the GPU area if you can't shoehorn it into the PSU area), maybe the DAN A4 would work.

@cleveland not yet, no.

I based my build layout on a cooling hypothesis that I still have yet to verify.
If it clears, then I'll go ahead and finish my build with the ISK 110.

I modelized the case though ; I have to improve it a bit and I can upload it in the reference library.

I'd thank you very much if could share it.

Also, my plan consists of a very clean build: F2A88XN +A10-7860K +NH-L9a +HDPlex 160w DC-ATX PSU. Lightweight, SFF mobile gaming rig. The very best of both worlds.

I made almost the same build, except I had an A8 7600 instead of the A10.

When the TDP is set to 65W, the CPU tends to run a bit too hot with a small NH-L9a.

I would advise you to look for a lower CPU cooler (around 30 mm tops ; the Thermaltake Engine 27 could be useful here) and have a slim 120/140 mm fan cooling down the whole motherboard.

FYI, you should have around 50 mm clearance between the motherboard PCB and the top mesh panel.

I have A10-7800 with this:

Much more better...

I was aiming at the 45w cTDP mode.

About the case, i guess it was built with some jury rigging in mind. The grill over the mobo has the perfect shape and size to fix a slim 120mm fan with small/slim zip ties.
