Skyreach 5 Mini

Josh just posted an image of a new Skyreach 5 Mini on Instagram.

I did see that. Internal SFX PSU is definitely a departure from the norm for Josh

If this ends up having 75-80mm of internal height, which it might with a SFX PSU, then it may also support a low-profile GPU plugged directly into the motherboard.

I can see options for interesting builds outside of just gaming ones, as the GPU area could then support a radiator, or HDD/SSD storage for NAS builds, etc.

I'm so excited to see how this turns out! Hopefully Josh shares some pictures of the prototypes.

I understand they want to pace their teasers and not reveal everything until they have things more finalized; but, I really wish they would give a case overview. It would have been interesting to know what the issues were with the prototypes.

For me the most important info is the dimensions.

I'm considering moving my existing PC into this case if it will work and having it placed under a monitor riser on my desk.

I'd like to know which GPUs and CPU Coolers will work.

I completely agree. I've been trying to use the IO shield cut out to guesstimate the max cpu height.

What's your guess based on that?

Sadly, I'm thinking 70mm is not going to be possible. Unless of course I mod the top panel with a "hood scoop"!

I want to go on record that I'm winging it by measuring pixels and with the knowledge that an IO shield is about 44.5mm. I could be 100% wrong with my estimate.

But, it looks like the case could be around 80 to 85mm thick. Taking panel thickness, standoff height, etc into account the max cpu cooler height could be around 65 to 70mm.

Edit: After looking a little closer some of those aluminum frame pieces look pretty thick. My CPU height estimate could be on the generous side.
