Disclaimer: for my graduation project I'm doing a whole family of pc cases, this is post contains concepts for my final graduation project, and even though I plan on selling this at some point I'm not sure when.
I'm studiyng a bunch of product design methodology and i'm posting here to keep track on the feedbacks and evolution of the project.
edit: I updated the post title so i could merge all my concepts in a single post so I wouldn't spam the forum
concept list:
1- sff atx windowed case / slim version
2- 2.2L htpc ODD case
3- sff diy NAS
concept :SFF ATX windowed case
In my studys on the project gregory, I stumbled upon two ideas that reflected this first concept.
At first i wanted to do something I could only with tfx psus, but then quickly moved to being able to adapt to different needs and tradeOffs and all under 15L.
TFX psus are usually 300w which is enough for a gtx 1070 and a 65w cpu
what I'd like to achieve with this case is somewhat in lines of:
what I come up with was 4 layouts:
1 ATX + tfx psus with the first 3 slot for fullzise gpus and other 4slot for low profile pci stuff
2 ATX + tfx psus with the first 3.5 slot for fullzise gpus and other blocked pci ports
3 mATX + sff psus with 4 full slots and fans on top
4 mATX + ATX psus with 4 full slots
size comparison with s340:
micro atx form factor with sfx psu and atx psu:
Any thoughts?

Window for cpu and gpu
good air cooler support
midtower like layout
focus on aesthetics
gpus up to 27cm~
