Behold, how to add a security slot to your case.
I have a couple questions for anyone who has purchased or would like to purchase the L5:
1. Why did you choose the L5?
2. If there were a larger version of the L5 (sandwich style, 17-19mm wider) that only added support for a standard height graphics card, what would you choose?

Same here. I have an ITX GPU I've modified with a noctua fan and I've tried to go to a LP gpu and can't stand the fan noise. A full height L5 would be an instant buy from me.
I wanted to echo this also..
I loved what I saw from my brief time with my Lone (before a quick return - never built in it), but the LP GPU options are just total dealbreakers for me (sadly).
I'd be right back in the mix if ITX gpu's could be used, as it enormously increases the potential usages and capabilities.
I'm all in on NVMe and Mini-ITX Mobo's - but GPU options and what I can do with a PC is still very much tied to GPU performance and LP and/or iGPU's simply don't cut it for a wide swath of my interests.
If I may give you an unsolicited inspiration, I would love for you to build the case I dreamed of: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...ruly-sff-itx-case-for-3950x.11847/post-174951
That design above would be a great addition under your brand. It's about double the volume of L5; more hardware supported at the expense of volume, so there wouldn't be any cannibalization between the two.
I created an account just for this case. I am hoping to snatch one when the May orders open.
Had a question on power requirements, I am planning a 3600/4600 or 3700x/4700x and gt1030 with a B550 motherboard. Would the picopsu 160 xt be enough for this? The 12v rail on the spec sheet seems to deliver only max 8A (96W) while the ppt of the 3600 and 3700x is 88w and the Gt1030 require 30w. At the same time I saw a Chinese knockoff brand RGEEK that does 12A average on the 12w rail which would be perfect for my needs. Which one should I get?

I would recommend contacting Mini-box.com tech support for confirmation. I recall reading that the 12V rail is a pass-through from the AC adapter. IMO, the best option for the L5 is the G-Unique Arch Daemon DC-ATX. I will have a couple available for purchase sometime this month.
I just posted a related question in case it helps, I'm planning builds with almost the same specs in a couple of Streacom cases which are a little easier for me to obtain in the UK.
Thanks. I will check out arch daemon. I also noticed the hdplex 200w 12v rail also supports 180w. So that's a good option if I can ship it.
Thanks I read through it.
Is it recommended that if I am pulling upto 180w, I should be using a 4 pin adapter rather than a normal 5mm dc barrel pin adapter? I find it easier to find the normal dc pin adapters.

My wife and I spent all week organizing my LEGO collection, so I've finally be able to do free builds without spending 99% of the time digging…
Figured I'd share this little model I made of a white L5!
The back isn't complete (didn't have enough plates), but a fun proof-of-concept, nonetheless.
Everything I couldn't understand explained clearly... feels like it should be a sticky somewhere.Each type of DC power jack supports a different amount of current. As a result, AC adapter manufacturers ship their AC adapters with different jacks depending on the bricks power output.
12V AC adapters
19.5V AC adapters
- <= 140W = 5.5mm barrel jack
- 150W to 200W = 4pin Power DIN
- > 200W = Molex connector
There are probably exceptions to the above. G-Unique for example has a current enhanced 5.5/2.5mm DC jack with 14AWG wire that can support 18A continuous (216W at 12V).
- <= 240W (?) = 7.4mm barrel jack
I received two G-Unique Arch Daemon DC-ATX yesterday (will post photos soon). I'm only able to bring these in because of a good friend who receives regular shipments from China.
Thanks. I understand now. I think based on evidence, hdplex seems to be a good option for 3600 and above cpus, with a solid 12v rail. I am also able to find a lot of 19.5v 180w laptop bricks locally with the 7.5mm barrel connector. Unless the G-Unique dc atx could come out cheaper I wud go with hdplex.Each type of DC power jack supports a different amount of current.
