Prototype SFFtime presents: U-ITX - 7L lightweight console case that fits 3slot GPUs

[MarcParis]

Here is my improved guide of the CPU cooling for the U-ITX, capable to reach ~103W TDP while remaining tolerable in terms of noise/thermals.

Any news on when will the new stocks be available?

Here is my last episode on the U-ITX.

SFFTIME U-ITX : Testing the MSI RTX 5080 Ventus OC & RIP (19th March 2025)

Unfortunately I've reached 4 destroyed screw threads (1 on the frame itself) and I'm forced to remove my U-ITX from active service, for now.

Has anyone tried to fit an Asus Loki?

Does the u-itx includes everything (the riser, the special PSU power cord for this build, or any special parts needed to make all work ?

It does, you only need your PC parts

 

[Mosskovskaia]

Are you going to offer the replacement parts for the first time buyers? I haven’t had the problems but if taking apart and rebuilding is destroying the case is a problem. Having the opportunity to replace the parts would be great

 

[riba2233]

I will consider offering them as aftermarket accessories but I don't anticipate you should have problems with them if you use them as intended and don't over-torque them.

How to order if ever and maybe ask some questions (location doxx so would like it private)? Made an account just to ask cause you made the case that is almost perfectly what I want right now thank you

Thanks, glad you like it! You can always dm me here or even better send me an email on info@sfftime.com

Just curious, is it possible to put the stands at the top, orienting the entire case upside-down and making the power button visible at the top without disturbing the standard components layout inside?

 

[vinnyoflegend]

@zouldier Yes, page 22 of the manual mentions this. I'm a big fan of "inverted" layouts and this is how I have mine currently.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I am preparing the next batch of U-ITX cases, they should be ready in about a month. Do you prefer black or white units?

Yes, that trick still works, you can see it pictured in the manual in GPU mounting section.

4090 with AIO unfortuantely not even close :|

Np and thank you!

It has been over a month. Any update or estimated date? Just to be sure i dont miss it

restock should arrive soon..

 

[riba2233]

It will be slightly delayed unfortunately, but nothing too major. It was something out of my control.

Hi I just wanted to share a few pictures of my build. Everything went pretty well.

The config is
5700x3d
b450i aorus itx
32gb 3200 mhz ddr4
2tb samsung 990 evo
Powercolor 9070 reaper
CoolerMaster 650w sfx modular psu

My 5700x3d isn't too hot I planned on addind the noctua fd1 later but honnestly with a little bit of undervolting it is fine

Performance is pretty solid I can finaly play at 4k I only tested cyberpunk and cod mw2 for now but i'm planning on playing Baldur's gate 3 later on.

As for building it's pretty easy everything is accessible. I had some trouble with the riser cable but after a while it got in pretty nicely
