Just wondering someting...

I like the size of the chicken biskit cracker box (OMG they are so good) which is 2.4 x 6.8 x 9.6 inches well the family size... It is looking abit small for a mITX MB, a dual slot GPU under the board & A PSU inside... Anyway would 9.1 x 8.2 x 2.6 inches be better?? A TFX PSU seems good...

I would suggest a low-profile GPU so you can keep the computer in the cracker box. I feel that making the computer larger would spoil the build, making it far less yummy.

Maybe if you painted it black w/ red highlighting so it looked more like an element q

I would love a cad file of that I could open in protocase so I could modify it, just add to it so a dual slot GPU would fit under the MB...

How high would it need to be for a dual slot GPU under the MB??? A TFX psu is 2.6 wide so the second sets of dems for a case would work...

hmmm that's a thought...

But would it fit in an element q?

It definitely wouldn't unless you removed the 5.25 tray at which point you might as well just get an Elite 130, which is certainly not an Element Q.

Has anyone ever tried to contact Thermaltake if they still have an Element Q somewhere or want to rerelease it ??

Oh, it is discontinued... Any cad files of it, I would love one I could open it in protoxase (ask if someone can convert it, so I can), anyway a few changes & that would be ready... So just like they did with Ncase make a ODD option (make the ODD a slimline or a laptop ODD, they have a button), have the 3.5 cutout be for a 3.5 i/o bay you can just buy... So you can upgrade that with a new MB you decide to get & just move the MB tray up then use that space for a dual GPU...

The Apex MI-008 looks an awful lot like the Element Q. In fact, I'd even say it is the Element Q, just with a different front panel.

IS there a model out there, man I wish protocase could inport models... Hmmm, SFX PSUs seem to be getting better...
