Hi there,
Finally, I went down into the SFF rabbit hole and I decided to build my own 3D printed case.
Redesign after redesign, and shrink after shrink, it can't be shrinked anymore (yet)

Disclaimer:
-The case it's a prototype just for testing. Need some adjustments.
-It's not a project for everyone. Its a "what if" project.












Ah, yes, it's behind the phone.





It's about 2.94L, 218 x 172 x 78.5 (maybe +2 in the final ver.)

Components: B660I. 12400F. 32GB DDR5. RTX 5060 TI. 250W GaN

To achieve this, some improvements (sacrifices) were made:

-The audio module has removed. VRM heatsinks cut down.
-The PSU heatsink has cut down and it's only the back side now.
-Removed most of the PSU cables to the minimum and made custom ones.
-Removed the GPU fans and backplate. An internal fan does the job.

The GPU temps are great despite the poorly placed internal fan.
-Doom Eternal at 4K 90fps, 80ºC max.
-Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4K 60fps, 75ºC max.
-Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K 60fps, 80ºC max.



Ah, I forgot...

Also there is a Mac Mini inside :)
