holy shit thats beautiful. Its always surreal to see the renders actualized. you should put that in the first post. Have you not implemented the feet yet? I thought those were pretty cool.smallish update
yesterday was my 1 year forum anniversary and yesterday I got the case in my hands
I'm still a bit cathartic,I know it may sound cheesy but I'm really happy with it and it is symbolic for me.
Its really nice in person, the texture feels great. I have a few things here and there to fix but overall I'm really liking this a LOT!
Expect some pictures down the week but only for the case assembly thought. I'll have to wait at least another week for some parts to arrive because the store mixed up my psu.. sigh
Also, the new screws improved quite a bit the looks of it, here's some photos with a banana for scale:
sorry for the scale joke
Thanks! haha that is a good idea actualy
I did manage to get the feet on, that's how I'm using in my desk. I also recommend using some kind of feet because the screws are kinda sharp.
next revision will have proper screw holes. I just fixed that in the cad files.
Little idea update for you @owliwar
Just seen this video
I wonder if we could fix this case to the back of a monitor
It would need modifications though (on one panel, or a vesa mount option)
Beside the fact that it might be a great feature for an All-in-One, I think the design aspect of the CG7 speaks for itself. It is tiny and beautiful. With its size it fits already next to any Monitor or TV and works as a pice of minimalistic furniture with its individually designable exterior it would be a shame to cover it behind something!

I'm more or less thinking of it as a possibility, if the product is versatile then it will be kept for longer
I think that's this idea could be use on another model though, or a stripped down version of this model
it would be too sad to hide it thoughLittle idea update for you @owliwar

I believe there are some better implementation for this kind of aesthetics.
Antec has some cases that uses this sytem in a better way (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064LWISQ/?tag=theminutiae-20). but invlves using a monitor that has a feet that isn't blocking the vesa ports. I think that would work better for the general sff cases

It would be sad indeed but u still like this concept of having the config behind the monitor (especially in a dual screen config ! )
Anyway if i want i might just mod the case at some point ^^
I know no one asked but I added support to the round feet from LZ7
to the mooooooooon
hi there
this week we made a few prototypes and our last modifications went really well
@K888D assembled a system to test up the DC-ATX Layout. its amazing how big the case looks without the psu cables. I really like the aesthetics of this. keep in mind he is using a mini-atx motherboard here.
also, huge thanks to @Kmpkt for sending us the dynamo mini! (you can check out Kmpkt PSU solutions at the sfflab)
hope this pictures help you all understand how this layout works
the hdplex ac-dc unit in the pictures is the 300w one.
hope you all like it

WOAH <3 <3 <3 <3
Ok please nvidia i want a gtx 2050 ti or 2060 low profile
Wait, what is this cooler ? It's so tiny

Can’t wait for the case and the upcoming hardware on computex! <3 GIVE ME THAT Z390 ITX and 8 cores with integrated graphics! this will be so damn cool! By the way, I’ve tested around with the Noctua NH-L12S and the i7-8700K @5.0GHz and it can handle this amount of power around 70*C after Delid with 100% cpu load so the cooling options in this case should be more then sufficient. Especially with those additional 92mm fans.

Its the stock cooler that comes with the AMD Athlon 5350, runs almost silent if you set the fan correctly in the BIOS.
OH
Damn am1 was good, hope it was still around (i want to build a nas, may be a real project at some point )
Maybe they will update it even though i doubt it
And no new gtx 2xxx from nvidia still...
