Stalled Modivio xCase - customizable console-style case

[DSmithBYU]

Another question: will there also be an additional fee for ridges on the top panel, near the tip of the CPU Cooler for dust filters??

I do have 2 questions:

- what's the maximum supported height of 2.5" drivers in the ME case? 9.5mm, 12mm, 15mm?

- will you sell the PCI-E extender in your shop in the near future?

@Walderston: I've seen that, but this doesn't answer any of my 2 questions ...

 

[wabbitro]

if requested upon order, can you change the dc plug in to an 8 pin like this 8 pin default type wth 4 mounting holes?

I remember reading that X-case M now allowed for 300W HDplex AC-DC brick to be installed when using a MSI Aero ITX 1070. Has anyone completed their build using this setup?

I would assume it would answer your 2nd question. I mean if they got a bunch of them...unless it's for a secret project ~^

Do you have any particular dust filter in mind or anyone would work for you? Thermaltake Matrix D12 could be mounted directly to the side panel using screws included with each case. Other dust filters would require custom mountings which cost extra.

It depends on the PSU which you're planning to use:
1. Any PSU with external brick or HD-PLEX 400W DC-DC + 300W AC-DC internal unit - even 15mm thick 2.5" drives will fit
2. G-Unique internal HP AIO AC-DC unit - only 7mm thick SSD's will fit

Li-Heat 300mm type B risers are available on request - paid separatelly via Paypal. We're waiting untill short riers arrive to rise the price of the case and include the required riser with each order.

Yes, that's not a problem at all.

I just bought xCase S. Which PSU should i buy? Can i use G-unique TYPE D?

Totally. G-Unique Type C or Type D units with external power brick are the best solution for xCase S.

...

Thank you for your answers - already ordered one :-)

Is it have mounting hole for G-UNIQUE TYPE C? (TYPE D is nolonger available)
if not, shoud i buy mounting bracket like dell c14? (https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i2/40167061/TB263zHrJRopuFjSZFtXXcanpXa_!!40167061.jpg)

If you didn't order the unit from Gury yet - please ask him for the "Ultra slim type 2*M3 nuts". It's supported out of the box. We can also make the adapter for the "Default type 4*M3 nuts" on request. "Slim type 4* M3 nuts" is also possible but we would need the drawing with precise distance between mounting holes.

We just received the first batch of risers from Li-Heat!

It is certainly possible. The cutout would have to be designed for a specific PSU because a standard SFX cutout wouldn't left enough bezel to ensure enough strength. Increasing the thickness of the case by approx. 10mm would solve the problem as well. Either way - we could do it as a custom service.

My my what are these risers for?

OK I thought they are a single piece but actually they are 1 slot each

Reading reviews like this one is probably the most rewarding part of working on the project

Literally signed up to this forum because of my interest in this project

Couple of questions if I may,

* Have you considered something like a USB C front header? Personally I would like to see a USB 3 and a USB C at the front either side of the power button..Maybe good for future expansion or something that can just interconnect like I saw recently on a Fractal case.

* What kind of temps are you seeing under load in built system? I have some spare parts about (5820K, X99E-ITX/ac mobo) and I'm wondering what kind of temps I could see on this with an 120mm AIO, GTX 1060 or RX570 with a mild overclock. Probably pushing the limits but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained right?

#1 - That would ruin the aesthetic of the case, which is it's strong point.

#2 - 3 hours playing BF4 with a LE model, a 2600x, sfxl, 980ti, noctua nh-l9 65 but with a 92mm Bequiet fan, average 68, Max 72.

I saw the results because I was curious coming from atx. Results may vary.

Picking up an xCase L - can we use 40x40x10 fans in this (in lieu of the 60x60x10)? Not sure what the mounting points look like...

Why 40mm fan?

 

[SpicerJones]

Why 40mm fan?

Apparently the majority of the 60s have issues with noise - and I was hoping to throw some noctua fans in - but they dont make a 60x60x10, only a 40x10x10.
