SFF.Network SMALL FORM FACTOR IS DEAD. LONG LIVE LARGE FORM FACTOR!

TO THE COMMUNITY,

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT SMALLFORMFACTOR.NET HAS SEEN A HUGE AMOUNT OF SUCCESS AS OF LATE. TRAFFIC ON THE NEWS SITE AND FORUM CONTINUES TO GROW STEADILY, AND OUR COMMUNITY HAS NEVER BEEN LARGER OR MORE ENGAGED. WE COULDN’T BE PROUDER. HOWEVER, AS A RESULT OF THIS, IT’S BECOME CLEAR TO THE WHOLE TEAM THAT THERE’S NOTHING REALLY ‘SMALL’ ABOUT US OR WHAT WE DO – AND, IF ANYTHING, WE’RE SET TO GET BIGGER AND BIGGER IN THE FUTURE.

SMALL IS LAME. SMALL IS SAD. BIG IS THE FUTURE!

BECAUSE OF THIS, WE’RE REALLY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE TRANSITION OF SFF NETWORK TO LARGEFORMFACTOR.NET, OR LFF NETWORK. EFFECTIVE TODAY, WE ARE RETIRING THE OLD BRAND IN FAVOR OF THE NEWER, BIGGER, AND BETTER ONE.

AS A PART OF THIS TRANSITION, WE’RE IMPLEMENTING THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL CHANGES, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE IMMEDIATELY:

• ALL VOLUME MEASUREMENTS WILL BE BASED ON UNITS OF NZXT MANTAS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CORSAIR 780T IS 2.3 MANTAS.
• ALL REVIEWED ENCLOSURE WILL BE AT LEAST 2 MANTAS IN SIZE.
• ALL MEASUREMENTS WILL NOW BE IN CUBITS, A MORE CONVENIENT AND RELATABLE UNIT.
• ALL PRODUCT REVIEWS WILL NOW RATE PRODUCTS ON A SCALE OF SAD! (LOWEST) TO HUGE! (HIGHEST).
• ANY PRODUCT WITHOUT RGB LIGHTING WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY GIVEN A RATING OF ‘DOUBLE SAD!’.
• ALL POSTS MOVING FORWARD WILL BE MADE ENTIRELY IN ALL-CAPS, WHICH ARE THE LARGER AND BETTER FORM FACTOR LETTERS IN THE ALPHABET.

ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE FORUM, WE ARE NOW IMPOSING THE FOLLOWING RULES:

• ALL BUILDS MUST BE AT LEAST 2.3 MANTAS.
• ALL BUILDS MUST HAVE AT LEAST THREE GRAPHICS CARDS.
• ALL POWER SUPPLIES MUST BE AT LEAST 1200W.
• CALIPERS (AND ALL DISCUSSION PERTAINING TO THEM OR THEIR USE) ARE NOW BANNED.
• ANY POST THAT IS NOT ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS WILL BE DELETED, AND THE USER WILL BE BANNED.

WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A PRETTY BIG CHANGE FOR EVERYONE, BUT I THINK YOU’LL AGREE THAT BIGGER TRULY IS BETTER – AND WE HAVE A LOT OF BIG THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS UPCOMING YEAR!

THANKS,

– THE LFF NETWORK TEAM

TRUE FOLLOW-THROUGH WITH PURCHASING THE DOMAIN. I COMMEND THESE LARGE EFFORTS. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING ADDENDUM TO THE AFOREMENTIONED RULES:

• THE USE OF ABBREVIATIONS ARE PROHIBITED, AND THEIR USE WILL RESULT IN A BAN. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE WORDS SMALLER!

 

[GreatestUnKnown]

RELEVANT

 

[Arboreal]

IN THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW ERA, I HAVE JUST ORDERED THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED E-ATX MANTA MASSIVE FOR MY RASPBERRY PI.
IS IT TRIPLE OR QUAD TITAN X (P) THAT IS THE ENTRY LEVEL GPU ARRANGEMENT?
LONG LIVE OUR HUGE CASE OVERLORDS!

^^ THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

NFC SYSTEMS Press Release​

NFC SYSTEMS and NZXT partner for innovative STX design


By Josh Sniffen

April 1st, 2018


Biloxi, MS – Locally owned NFC SYSTEMS announced today in wake of the Largeformfactor.net makeover its new contract with NZXT (City Of Industry, CA) to design a Micro-STX version of the "NZXT Manta."

"With the official announcement of small form factor being dead, NZXT and I decided it would be good to let our customers and fans know that we still stand behind the niche small form factor community. At the same time, we recognize the constant need to always be looking forward, and thus it is with great excitement we want to announce the NZXT Manta - Not From Concentrate Edition. This STX chassis manages to retain the overall size of the original Manta, but while supporting only STX motherboards with on-board power delivery."

About NFC SYSTEMS

NFC SYSTEMS is a design firm located on the Gulf Coast that specializes in designing and building weird products that no one needs and insisting they be built in the most frustratingly expensive way possible.

JOSH, I TAKE IT THAT YOUR 'MANTA' WILL ONLY SUPPORT NORMAL STX, AND IF CUSTOMERS ARE WANTING THE FORTHCOMING STX WITH MXM, YOU WILL BE OFFERING A considerably LARGER VERSION???

 

[Ceros_X]

considerably

WHAT... WHAT... WHAT IS THIS NON CAPITALIZED WORD YOU HEATHEN! HUUUGGGEEEE OR GET OUT

 

[Arboreal]

THAT'S IRONY FOR YOU, THAT AND I'M QUITE HOARSE FROM ALL THAT SHOUTING. IT'S 7PM HERE IN THE UK, AND I'M OFF FOR A (WELL EARNED) BEER TO HELP SOOTHE MY WORN OUT VOICE .
A HAPPY AND FRANKLY ENORMOUS APRIL FOOLS TO YOU ALL, IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE AND BE PART OF THIS SMALL COMMUNITY.

JOSH, I TAKE IT THAT YOUR 'MANTA' WILL ONLY SUPPORT NORMAL STX, AND IF CUSTOMERS ARE WANTING THE FORTHCOMING STX WITH MXM, YOU WILL BE OFFERING A considerably LARGER VERSION???

THAT IS INCORRECT; IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERABLY LARGER! IT WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VOLUME BY .23 MANTAS (WITH THE DEPTH OF THE CHASSIS EXTENDING OUT BY .6 CUBITS).

NFC SYSTEMS TAKES PRIDE IN CREATING THE LARGEST, SMALL FORM FACTOR CHASSIS.
