Hello everyone! I'd like to present you all with something I have been working on for almost a month. Meet, the VFC One.
This case comes in at a final volume of 19.8L, 162 mm wide x 374mm deep x 327mm tall (not taking feet into account), with a weight of around 3.7Kg.
It's able to pack a full ATX board with a full ATX PSU at the same time, regardless of your cooling solution. Yay air coolers! This will most certainly allow you to bring your current system into the SFF world.
You can mount two 120/140mm fans on the top, provided they are 15mm thick and not 25mm, as well as a normal 120/140mm fan on the front and a 92/80mm fan on the back. This holds true regardless of your chosen mobo form factor and GPU length. Two 120mm fans can also be mounted on the right-side panel, however, this will only work if you're using air coolers with a height less than 115mm, or you can mount a 240mm radiator in this spot as well. If you go mATX or smaller you can also use 120/140mm fans on the bottom of the case to provide additional airflow to the GPU(s), or mount another 240mm radiator (only recommended for custom loops).
You can pack a GPU up to 280mm in length when using an ATX PSU longer than 150mm, or you could go full madman and pack full-length GPUs (343mm. Do those even exist?) with a 150mm or shorter ATX PSU OR an SFX PSU.
A total of 7 PCI slots are present in the case, plenty to run dual GPUs plus some other PCIe cards all at the same time.
Support for two 2.5" drives (if using PSUs longer than 150mm, only a single 2.5" drive can be added). 3.5" drives can be added as well with the use of an additional cage, designed to mount on the bottom of the case, near the front. Do note that using these cages blocks either one or two PCI slots.
Front IO consists of your usual 2 USB 3.0 ports, headphone, and microphone jacks. They're located near the top of the case on the front panel.
I'd love to know what everyone thinks about it, feedback is always useful when trying to design such things.
