Really hope you can manage to fit at least a USB C port somewhere. Just a single one like a T1 would be really nice.These are the latest prototype photos, and the final product should look basically the same (the stand will use thicker material):
Prototype - SFFtime presents: U-ITX - 7L lightweight console case that fits 3slot GPUs
Do you have a painted prototype to take some pictures? What kind of On / Off Switch is used? (Picture?) It is coming in a few days approx :) same switch as used on P and N-ATX, will post some pictures later.smallformfactor.net

Ok I finally have layout for packaging, it wasn't easy for this one because the case is taller than it's longer unlike P and N-ATX.
Anyways, I am ordering a batch and hopefully I will have packaging ready by then

Workaround for this: There are USB extension + PCI slot mount combinations, eg. from Graugear.
I'm using one of those for my A4-H2O build, as it allows for all the cable clutter to stay in the back of the case.

It is taller? I thought this is the smallest of the threeOk I finally have layout for packaging, it wasn't easy for this one because the case is taller than it's longer unlike P and N-ATX.

Its just the ratio of height to length in relative terms, in absolute terms it is slightly lower than the P-ATX
This is really a great case. I'm afraid that I'll once again be the one who won't get anything. Can you tell us something about availability after release?
Do we have to fight for the case?
Usually folks don't have to fight for my case, there is a good window of availability once I have new batch ready. Of course I would like to have batches more often but it's not that easy to do unfortunately. First batch for U-ITX will be smaller, but I'll write here and I'll send our a newsletter once it's ready.
Can you give us an update? Are there still weeks or months until the release?
Maybe a month you're targeting?
I only ask because I come here every day not to miss it.
Do you already have a price?

Targeting somewhere in November for now, price below P-ATX most likely
I will of course write more here once I am closer to it being ready.
I wonder if something like what I'm currently preparing with the S400 would work in this as well?
Ie. HDPlex GaN 500 + 140 mm AIO + 250 mm GPU.

Hmm, just looked at CAD and I kind of doubt it, don't see any place for 140mm rad tbh
Personally, I would like to see 10 extra millimeters for cooler height. Seems silly to accommodate a 4090, then restrict the CPU cooling. With 60mm cooler height, there are more options. Or you can simply put a full size 92mm fan on an AXP90-X47 Full Copper.
And 1.5mm aluminum. For such a packable case, I would want the extra integrity.
Thank you for your feedback!
Imho now that we have coolers like axp90-x47 cu that can cool 7800x3d and the upcoming 9800x3d (hopefully) which can max out any gpu, I don't see the big gains with going with slightly taller cooler (might fit the x53 but there is barely a difference) and increasing that dimension affects the volume a lot.
Regarding the thickness, case is really solid once assembled, some pieces are flimsy by themselves but I really wanted to fully optimize the volume and weight for this case, it wasn't easy making this in 7L and sub 900g.
47mm is good enouth for good 65w cpus 7L is amazing for portability I don't want to see it geting bigger
Will that price include the riser already? Or that will also be a separate item?Targeting somewhere in November for now, price below P-ATX most likely
I will of course write more here once I am closer to it being ready.
Risers will be included (choice between gen3 or gen4) because they are custom length. It will be cheaper than P-ATX + riser ofc

How long will they be? (I'm just interestes for curiosity sake I have a gen 3 platform with 5700x3d)Risers will be included (choice between gen3 or gen3) because they are custom length. It will be cheaper than P-ATX + riser ofc
They are 168 mm.
Lengths between 165-170 will work if your gpu is not near the heigth limit.
