Completed Lone Industries L5 - 4.6L Mini ITX
- Thread starter Lone
- Start date
finally built my lone l5 case, running passive, had to use PBO bios to make the 3400g run like 10w cpu.
a 3000g or 200ge would be more than suffice.
speeds are just 2.2ghz after severe undervolting.

Super cool! A single low speed front fan to pass air thru the case and the passive cpu heatsink would probably let you add quite a bit of wattage back into the cpu and still remain functionally silent. Maybe rotate the fins on the cooler to be horizontal rather than vertical if you did add a front fan.finally built my lone l5 case, running passive, had to use PBO bios to make the 3400g run like 10w cpu.

I'm interested to see how this all performs.

Let us know how you like the internal G-Unique PSU.
I'm working on placing another order, but I don't have an ETA at the moment. If you don't want to wait, I'd recommend ordering directly from G-Unique.
Yes, white/black will come with the extended GPU vent. It's too early to tell whether this will make any difference. Thank you for your order!
Gury did advise me to do so, but i couldnt bring the gunique psu down to the bottom fan slot, the cabling coming out of the psu becomes facing behind the motherboard and takes away some headroom (even though i saw earlier posts someone able to do it)
I asked for a 300w one. Running well without fan plugged to power so far, not a high power build so wont utilise it to the full. I did hear some small crack sounds coming out near the psu or directplug, when pre booting the system before assemblying into the case.
I guess I would ask him to mirror another set screw holes so that I can place the PSU on either top or bottom fan slots.
I'll bring this up with him and see if he can adjust it to fit better in both positions. Thanks for the info!
I have more G-Unique DC-ATX units on order as of yesterday. I'll update the leadtime on my website once they have shipped.
just wondering if anyone in this thread has a screw-in, under-desk caddy that they'd recommend for an L5? I'm doing some research on the topic, but having trouble finding caddys that secure a case as small as the L5's width!
My new order of G-Unique DC-ATX are on their way. I hope to see them by the end of next week.

sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there a kind of softbag that fits the l5 tightly? I've been looking into Camcorder bags and the like and didn't exactly find what I was looking for. I don't need anything fancy, only some soft layer I can put around the case before putting it into my backpack. Any ideas?
I originally wanted to ship the cases in fabric bags, but ended up breaking down and using plastic. The flat plastic bags I use for shipping are 13 x 15 inches (w x h). If you know someone that has a sewing machine, it would be very easy to make, and you get to pick out some cool fabric.
That's what I'm gonna do with the sewing machine I'll get tomorrow. Being an heavy duty model will help to sew through thick fabric.
edit: At this point, my L5 will have a bag before AMD dares releasing its APU lol
Hi there, I am a new user in this forum, but I have been a long time builder of small PCs and a lurker here on the forum and on reddit.
Started with the Silverstone Sugo-13 mesh (after seeing linus' video with the titan and the 18 core xeon), went over to Define Nano S, then Node 202, Dan-A4, Ncase, loque, Velkase Velka 3 (smaller than the lone but flimsy and cheap feeling), then the holy grail and long thought after s4 mini and now at last the lone l5
And even tho I can't fit the most powerful hardware in it. For some reason it really resonates with me. I have it setup right now with my trusty i7 8700k which i use since the Dan-A4 build and a lp asus gtx 1650.
Its silent due to the 2 front fans, well made and has a lot of cooling potential, with 2 case fans and support for the awesome noctua nh-l12s.
Hats off to you lone I really like it.
Right now I'm just wondering if I made the right choice with my cooling setup. I have the two case fans as negative and the GPU/CPU fans act as intake.
What are you guys running?

G-Unique DC-ATX are back in stock and available bundled with the last few remaining L5. I have more G-Unique DC-ATX than cases, so if you'd like one shipped separately feel free to contact me.
Thank you! I'm thrilled to have the L5 included in that list of cases, and happy you like it.
Your cooling setup should work well. I'm running my front case fans and CPU fan as intake.

Just to confirm, the GUnique is just the plug-in DC/ATX portion and does not include an ac/DC solution, correct?G-Unique DC-ATX are back in stock and available bundled with the last few remaining L5.
