Hey guys,
Isn’t there any tiny case <2 lt for an STX apu system with built-in psu? I just can’t find any until now.
does it have to be under 2 litres ??
there's a case under 2.5 litres.
It might be under 2.5 liters too.
I'm not strictly looking for under 2 liters
IIRC the S4T is 3.3L
It also doesn't have a power supply.i recommend this case, which has an internal PSU :
I think this thread deserves a bit more general of an answer. As I see it there are two reasons for this not existing:
- Nobody sells standalone STX motherboards, making the market for DIY cases very small, limited to specialty offerings like passive cooling. If you're already getting a decent case and power brick with your purchase, the motivation to buy a new case and throw away your existing one is likely to be small.
- STX doesn't have any type of standardized internal power input to the board, meaning a case with an internal PSU would need to use some janky power passthrough solution (i.e. a pigtail cable sticking out the back of the case to connect to the rear DC jack input) or require the user to solder in the power input. The former is likely offputting to most serious OEMs with any kind of desire for a premium appearance, and the latter is a dealbreaker for >99% of potential users.
The S4T does fit STX and an HDPLEX but from my point of view this case makes much more sense for a normal ITX APU build.
