Completed Making the smallest ATX case

[aidilj]

Hi All,

My first post here, I've just finished a weekend project to trim down a Cooler Master Elite 361 to 17.6 liters. By measurement it supports up to EATX motherboard. It only has 7 PCI slot so will need single slot card like Galax Katana for quad SLI. Though I'm not sure if there will be an SFX power supply that would be able supply that much power. There is no space for 3.5" drive, mounting 2.5" drive will be achieved by using PCI slot caddy. Cooler height is limited to 53mm or done through 92mm AIO. Video of the project is below.


This is not the first case I've worked on, see here for my previous project : http://aidilj.com/2016/05/diy-sff-low-volume-mini-itx-computer-case/

Hi that is an amazing transformation of the case. I have build myself a ATX case at 15 liters. But I like that you have kept the expansion slots. Thumps up from here

Well done there! Cuts all look very neat!

Thanks, I should've browse the forum before posting this thread, I only saw your smaller case after starting this thread and calling it the "smallest" atx. Well not so really.

Like yours, I took the opportunity to invert the case so that the power supply is a the bottom to move COG lower

Thanks Stu, still deciding what kind of system is going to be build inside this case. Either X299 or Z370
