Project Mercury - An internal watercooled Skyreach 4 Mini

[Ephixi4]

I can release the MOBO model, but the thing is, it's basically boxes and plates..

I basically took all the measurements and visualize them.

Duuude! Is this a model of the ROG STRIX Z370-I ?

If so I would be grateful if you could send me the file. I'm a bit stuck with the design process because I have no way of getting the measurement and using some image measurement tools gave me not really satisfying results.

Haha I uploaded it to resource center already: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/resources/asus-z270i-z370i-strix-clearance-model.111/
Just keep in mind this is a clearance model, which means the actual components on the motherboard are likely smaller than what I have in the model.
I should probably @Matias Petersen as well

Awesome! Thanks a ton and thanks for the disclaimer. I won't be doing much precise work, just need it to at least know the brief location for stuff. Hopefully will be able to post info on the project soonish!

Thanks again!

If you're planning to sell the monoblocks which you'll get produced, when will they be available to the public? Or if not to the public, maybe to us? I understand that you'll have to get them produced and tested yourself, but are we talking half a year of just months?

Kind regards, Matias!

If everything went right, I should be able to start selling them next month!

Better get myself a job, then!
How big a quantity do you think will be available?

I will need to get at least 10 orders to get them made

That isn't much... You could go full crowd funding if you wanted too? Get a few hundred made maybe? I'd think that there were more than 10 people in the world who'd want one of those...

I wanna keep the orders low, probably limited to only this forum. I'm still a full-time student and as far as I know, there are serveral patents on AIO coolers like this so I don't really wanna do a huge run to get myself into legal troubles..
