Production SFFtime presents: P-ATX V3 - 10.4L evolution of ATX console case

[Meekyuu]

Alright, some good questions for you Riba: What motherboard standoff sizes are you shipping the patx with, and, what are the lengths of the side panel screws?

Especially relevant for the P-ATX Thanks Mike, you are really doing a favor for the community!

Additionally: the is 50x v2 and the axp100 copper are perfect for the patx, only recommend the axp if your fine with a way higher price and worse ram compatibility for 2c at load.

I also partly believe the axp100 is let down by its stock fan and alternative mounting system, so it gets a little bit hacky to get the maximum perf put of it (slim p12 or something ziptied to it)

6mm mbo standoffs (F-F, M3), for side panels 5mm long countersunk M3 but you could use a bit longer ones

Hi, thanks, glad you like it!

Before the case is available I will post here, on reddit, discord, and there will be a notification email (make sure it doesn't go into your spam folder).

All coolers that are below 60mm will fit, I recommend IS-50X as it is very compatible.

 

[kola360]

Oh, okay. Perfect! As long as you dont post minutes or some hours before it goes live i should be able to get one.
How fast do you usually sell out?

As a mechanical engineer, im very impressed by all your renders and the amazing design. Its sleek stuff...
Maybe a bit of an obscure question, but what did you model this in? Solidworks sheetmetal feature?

Anyway i think i should be able to get an Alpenföhn black ridge inside this then since its the only low profile cooler available here in sweden.

Inventor sheet metal Very similar though.

Hard to say, I think it will be relatively fast since we had been out of stock for long time, maybe a day or two.

Just a note, you can get is50x directly from is-cooling aliexpress store, they ship worldwide, it is very easy:

Ordered one for myself lol

 

[riba2233]

V3 manual is up!

 

[riba2233]

Notice anything weird?

 

[Meekyuu]

The dot perforations are a little odd, hadn't noticed them before, if they were there prior.

 

[riba2233]

Yeah they were, it is a new thing for V3.

Anything else?

 

[PATXUser]

I see 25 total "columns" of perforation slots on the side panel. I think on some of the early renders this was 23?

 

[PATXUser]

Also, 3 holes in the front panel...but this seems too easy.

Sorry for replying to myself -- new here, not sure if it is possible to edit.

You are getting somewhere


Cmon people, I thought it would be more obvious

 

[kola360]

Looks like a thicc boi. Guess work is being done on N-ATX?

 

[Aluminyum]

Could it be that the C14 inlet has been moved?

 

[riba2233]

Bingo, we have a winner! This is actually N-ATX V2, I will open a separate thread soon. Bravo, gg for noticing

Could it be that the C14 inlet has been moved?

Correct, it will probably be a bit different on new N-ATX but might not be the final position. Will have to test it when I get the prototype.

 

[Mackan]

I think you have a good "high" location for the C14 inlet in the current P-ATX V3, and I hope it stays there. If positioned in the middle, it would have to be routed over the motherboard in a very visible way. Does not compute in my ocd brain.

Yeah I agree. Only problem with high position is that it can cause a interference issues if you use a cooler that overhangs the IO area on an ITX board. It can be solved with pigtail but still. But I will consider it heavily, just have to see how middle position works in real life.

I have seen a nice looking cnc aluminium C14 "extender" on taobao, to move the connector 1-2cm back, to prevent cases of interference. You can even stack 2 of them for better clearence.
