Production n3rdware Launches the Yocto SFF Chassis

Is there any chance to publish a 3d model of your case? Or we have to just wait early summer?

As I'm actively selling these at the moment, I'm afraid I won't share the model for now. The model alone is only a portion of the complete case by the way, you also need the baseplate, case feet, riser, screws & wires etc etc.

Production of the cases is going well, so I want to share the progress and some impressions of what I'm doing.

Most of the parts have been printed by now. It's a slow process, but the printer requires little attention while it's printing. Here's for a fun fact: did you know it takes more than 24 hours of printing a single case?! That's 15 hours for the shell, 7 hours for the bottom and 3 hours for the top.

The brass baseplates have arrived a couple of days ago and I'm halfway countersinking and threading the holes. The case feet also require some cutting, and that's completely done.

The power buttons and LEDs have all been soldered and are ready to be put in the cases. The USB cables, risers and screws have arrived, so that means I have everything ready to be put inside the cases.

As for the accessories, the double fans have been soldered and the heatsinks have arrived. I still have to cut out parts of the heatsinks to allow for clearance of the cards components.

Here are some pictures of all the work that is being done at the moment. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, must be very exciting to have a production run!
So cool to see all these high quality units on a shelf!

Due to a cancelation, I have one spare Yocto+ available. It's a couple millimeters taller than the regular Yocto which allows for a 2.5inch drive and 48mm cpu cooler. Price is €154,99. Pm me if you're interested!

Edit: case is gone!

Just wanted to pop in and say I love the case and your site design, can tell a lot of time and effort went into it. I'd scoop one in a heartbeat if I had any reason to build another system.

That's a very nice thing to say! I've indeed been spending a lot of my time on this project lately so I hope people will be as happy as I am with the case!

So since the previous week, Yocto's have started to ship! I've now shipped abouth 3/4th of the orders including a Yocto or Yocto+ and the remaining ones will be shipped shortly after this weekend. Then I just have a couple of orders left that containonly the heatsink and the batch will be officially finished!

Meanwhile, I've been getting a lot of questions about when the heatsink will be back in stock. While I initially claimed that the next batch wouldn't be before summer, I've decided to make the heatsink available as built to order when the current batch is finished. Lead time would be 1-2 weeks. If you want to be informed when they launch, feel free to subscribe to my newsletter on the bottom of my website: https://n3rdware.com/
