Hi Folks!
It's time to whip up a new PC and I want to make it a tiny, no compromise powerhouse.
When I started, I was more than happy to buy one of the several popular sandwich layout cases. Seeing as how high the demand is during normal times, I decided not to hold out for a future run and to build a case from scratch.
I wanted to thoroughly plan the component layout and build the case as custom as possible for exactly what I chose. As i went along, I thought why not add something new I haven't seen anyone do yet? So, to the best of my knowledge, this here's the first case under 13L to include a D5 pump with a dedicated reservoir. The benefit of using a D5, along with 3 total Noctua AF12x25 Fans, is hopefully near silent operation.
I plan on updating this thread as I make progress. right now all we have is a the layout, with an approximate shell around it all to gauge what our total volume is. Right now, the box measures at 12.25L, but that will fluctuate as the design comes together.
Layout
This is a good time for me to show the community and see if anyone sees any giant errors I'm missing. I'm pretty certain the height will need to increase by a few centimeters here and there based on a real life riser cable and not a cad drawing of one.
Also if anyone could point me to where I can source a low profile PSU extension cable, that'll be pretty crucial to building this as I've layed it out.
