The waterblock in mind is a Bykski N-MS4070TIVES-X-V2 and the block+card, at least according to their site is 26.55mm deep. I'm going 50/50 and saying that's either a suuuper tight fit or it's not doable. I'm not sure though.

Prototype SFFtime presents: U-ITX - 7L lightweight console case that fits 3slot GPUs
- Thread starter riba2233
- Start date
I am afraid that that is just too thick, tolerance is really small so you should stick to a true 1 slot block.
I've been looking for a console-type case for quite some time now but most of the available in the market are a little too wide for my requirement. This project seems to be the answer as it falls EXACTLY on the dimensions that I needed.
Closely watching the progress of this to become one of the future owners of this case!

Thanks, still need to tweak some minor stuff but not looking too bad currently
Will share more info when I am back from the trip.Thanks, glad you like it!
Same! I picked up the ASRock B650i Lightning board from the TikTok Newegg sale. Just need a sale on the AXP90-47 Copper.Buying Cyber Monday parts for this build! (Everything except the case
Unfortunately you will have to wait a bit longer, still not in production phase but things are happening behind the scenes
I'm interested in making a build in this case.. hmmm... when is your ETA to enter production and ordering phase?Unfortunately you will have to wait a bit longer, still not in production phase but things are happening behind the scenes
Now, this could always change at any time... but I'm pretty sure I'm personally skipping the ada generation, I'll definitely be eyeing this case once the next round of releases come out. Being able to stick to 7 liters and gain 3 slots.... I still do not know how you achieved that. (edit: Oh ok I know. it's because an extra slot for GPU is a bit under one liter and velka 7 is actually only 6 liters haha)
One thing I'll note, when I look at my velka 7 it is very optimized on space and if it were any thinner (and this is basically exactly a velka 7 with its sandwich unfolded) it needs a stand to provide it with stability from tipping over. I see a stand is part of the design but my question is how is it attached and how easily mounted/removed is it? This has a large impact on portability for travel.

not very likely I am afraid, everything is already pretty tight and I have barely managed to fit everything in this space, any further changes would upset the balance most likely :|
Question: Theoretically, would this custom watercool build work:
- Slim 1 slot GPU backplate like the Alphacool ES Geforce RTX 4090
- Dual fan radiator (240 or 280mm) 20-25mm thick + fans, 15-25mm thick
- HDPLEX 500 + 250 PSU
- CPU pump block combo like Mod Ultra Lobo or Alphacool Eisbaer LT

- CPU pump block combo like Mod Ultra Lobo or Alphacool Eisbaer LT
I'm back with a odd possibility that this could work... I was discussing the U-ITX with a person last night and it hit me. What if I shrunk the radiator and fan thicknesses and perhaps gave it some more room? Fans I aim for are the Nidec Nvidia GPU fans(supposedly 12.5mm thick), and probably a slim 240mm. Would that perhaps work?
Okay. I still plan on getting the case and planning something out.
