Prototype REVOCCASES RCC-BIG560 | custom BTO case | maximum flexibility for high end hardware in <20L
- Thread starter REVOCCASES

Thank you.
There are mainly two issues why I didn't go for countersink screws:
- The screws wouldn't sit flush unless I would use thicker aluminum or could find some suitable M4 120 degree CSK screws
- You need some "free play" there to compensate for slight assembly tolerances, countersink screws could cause some issues
No need, I want the complete case from you
I will play with the screws myself.
Maybe gold plated screws and feet would look nice in contrast to the black case. Also could do some paintbrush on the front to give it a personal touch.
Anyway, looking forward what you guys will do with your cases.
Hows the PSU extension entry at the back? My prototype case required some modding to get a 3 pin socket to fit.look what the anodizing guys send me today:
overall I am satisfied with the surface quality. there are some tiny hairline scratches / small anodizing marks on some panels but nothing obvious I personally would complain about. also, you can just flip/turn the panels if one side should have a little mark or something
next steps:
- this week I will do some QC on your parts before sending them out for anodizing
- if all parts are OK, I will send them out for surface treatment
- no guarantee - but if all goes smooth you should be able to build your rigs with the B560 in July

I saw your mod. Brilliant idea but I had something much simpler in mind when designing this.
The case will give you multiple options for power / cable entry, depending on your setup:
- Mount the PSU directly to the rear panel
- Route the cables out from the bottom cutout:
- Route your cables out from the PSU hole cover:
- Only upon request: optional PSU cable and bracket (thanks @UrbanFox for that idea)
- Only upon request: optional PSU cable and bracket (thanks @UrbanFox for that idea)
I have many more of these ideas...
Speaking of ideas, I just saw this:
noctua.at
Any SFF cases that cooler could fit?
NH-P1
The NH-P1 is Noctua’s first passive CPU cooler and has been custom-designed for fanless operation from the ground up: in enclosures with good natural convection, its six heatpipes and thick, widely spaced heatsink fins enable it to cool modern high-end CPUs with low to moderate heat dissipation...

So do I, this is just incredible!You are coming up with so many cases so fast that I cannot really keep up with.
This guy never stops!
Hats off for all your work @REVOCCASES !
NH-P1 is 158 mm in height. So, I can think of these:-Speaking of ideas, I just saw this:

Any SFF cases that cooler could fit?
a. Deng F15 Pro (20L), 170mm max
b. Sunmilo C01 (12L), 160mm max
c. Mechanic Master C28 (18L), 162mm max
NH-P1 has a compatibility list (including cases).
Interestingly, Streacom BC1 (Mini or not) Open Benchtable is 'incompatible' due to 'insufficient clearance'!!!
The staff who made up this list should get a spank on the rear...lol
BTW, reviews will come and here is one I found so far.
This one interests me particularly as the reviewer used the BC1 Open Benchtable!
And he tested with and without the mentioned NF-A12 fan too.
Good reading/watching!
Thermals for the 5900X are not bad at all. Quite acceptable I would say.
As the 5900X should be hotter than my 9900K, I might just get one. Anyway, will wait for a few more reviews.

So it seems not too many SFF cases would fit it. I kinda dig the look of that cooler. Maybe I'll make a BIG to fit it in.
5th production status update:
- parts have been picked up for anodizing just now
- if the anodizing guys don't mess it up I should have total 5 cases left for everyone who missed the pre-order
the issue is also the 154x152mm footprint ... it's almost as big as an ITX motherboard. It might conflict with :
- io shroud
- ram
- back of the case
- top of the case
I'm pretty sure it has been designed with ATX layout in mind (especially since natural convection requires more air volume than assisted convection).
No need to worry about IO shroud and RAM as the cooler clears them both (check the video beginning 2:22 for the clearance of an integrated IO shroud and memory...but 2066 might not use too-tall memory though as the memory could be on the left of the socket).
But, for the case, it needs some forward thinking and good planning, especially when a fan is used.

12mm
Speaking of... I bought black with white LED for the current orders... Hope that's fine?

That's perfectly fine. Just thought I'd ask cuz I have a spare sleeved 16mm switch laying around
Damn I wish I knew about this case when I got my 3090Fe. The bottom to top airflow seems perfect and it seems like it would be easier to build a custom loop in this case than my Sliger S620.
6th pre-order production update:
- the anodizing guys promised they'll finish all parts within next week
- I've send my prototype to @GucksTV in Germany for a "first look & build" video - probably with 280mm AIO and 240mm watercooled RX6800XT
- in the meantime I have already packed all accessories and made a easy build manual - so once the anodized parts come in I can ship your cases very soon
7th pre-order production update:
If you are curious how the case would look like in silver, here it is:
Next update: as soon as I get the black re-anodized parts!
- the good news: all parts came back from anodizing - earlier then expected
- the bad news: for reasons beyond my comprehension they somehow managed to anodize all of your parts in silver instead of black
- the good news after all: they said they can re-anodize the parts and still keep ETA within next week

Next update: as soon as I get the black re-anodized parts!
