Completed Lone Industries L5 - 4.6L Mini ITX

[GuilleAcoustic]

Am I just lost or are the L5 CAD drawings not available under the resources page? I see the L4 and some additional mounts and adapters.

It is available, but dated from 2020 : https://smallformfactor.net/forum/resources/lone-industries-l5.161/

Welp, I was looking for the download button everywhere but the top right…thanks for the info.

I recently bought an RTX A2000 and was wondering if I could "safely" use an HDPLEX250W GaN unit where the front fans sit and use a Weipu connector for some brickless goodness.

The idea would be to make a custom bracket based on the fan bracket model @Lone shared, that would still allow some air to escape from the front.

Did anyone try a build with no front fan at all ?

My components are i9-10900T, C7G with Noctua slim chromax 92mm, Asus Z490-I, 32GB b-die Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB, RTX A2000 12GB.

I'm also considering swapping the C7G for a Thermalright AXP120-X67 as it is the biggest cooler that fits my stupidly tall Asus Z490-I and Corsair Dominator Platinum.

Edit: might be worth mentioning, but I have one of the latest batches with the extended GPU vents.

Here's a first attempt at designing an adapter to replace the front fans. I do not have an SKP model of the HDPLEX250W GaN, but it is backward compatible with the 400W HIFI... so here I go :



Edit: Oops, wanted to post it in my Lone workstation thread, don't want to derail this one.

Here's a SKP file converted from the step file from the HDPlex site to confirm fitment. It only has the casing but it should do.

Any chance on another production run for these, given the popularity of the A2000, and for those with deep pockets the new SFF A4000 card, the L5 is the only case around that looks the goods for these builds without serious gpu mods. .

that, or is there any near identical alternatives, i know CustomMod have a similar looking case, but its not setup for gpu usage, nor does the cooling look as good. . the L5 is one of the best looking, and designed LP gpu setup cases around imo, and i have been silently waiting for another production run. . . .

Me too, I would like to buy a L5 in 2023.
