Concept REVOCCASES - next (low cost) case design - what would you prefer

[THUMPer]

Yeah I can see that now. Pretty cool idea.

 

[REVOCCASES]

If it works out as planned it will cover everything from APU to RTX2080TI and between.

PSU between the fans in the third case?

 

[REVOCCASES]

• BASE Case: Apu or LP GPU dual slot, up to 200W brickless or /w brick and larger coolers
• PSU Extension Case: FLEX, HDplex 200W, MEANWELL up to 500W
• GPU Extension Case: Full length dual slot

How would they connect?

 

[REVOCCASES]

I'll let you know after I figured out all the details.

What about an APU case and NAS attachment instead of GPU? )

I can build one for you

How many HDDs do you need? 4x3.5 ?

 

[FischOderAal]

From my point of view the most sensible NAS configuration is RAID 5, so 3x3.5 HDDs. Minimum would be RAID1, so two HDDs. Don't know what fits

 

[FischOderAal]

Maybe it would make more sense to make a case for two 5,25" trays. this way people can also use the case for optical disc drives. For HDDs you can use adapters or quick swap cases (there are also 3D printed ones).

 

[REVOCCASES]

All good ideas, let me think about this. I'll probably release the mods/extensions step by step. First I have to make a working prototype of the "base case".

 

[REVOCCASES]

for the GPU / HDD extension, what would you prefer:

• support for 80x10mm case fans and 2.5 slot GPUs (300x85x194mm)
• only vent slots, no additional case fans, 2 slot GPUs (300x70x194mm)

 

[oOflyeyesOo]

Could the GPU/hdd case be adjustable in height? A basic track on the end, to adjust to multiple fans sizes, and could be slimmer for hard drives.

 

[REVOCCASES]

That's difficult but let me think about it.

2,5 slot would be my choice. In the end 15 mm height difference is negligible but it gives you more opportunities.

1. Cpu with cooler and PSU
2. +Gpu option
3. + Water cooling option

didnt notice the third page, it was PSU option..
Also, any dimensions yet?

Not fixed yet. Still working out the details.
