It's been awhile but that also means there is more to write about!
July 2017 - What's on Taobao?
Everyone knows Turemetal right? Ok maybe not. Anyways, they're big into passively cooled power supply stuff but now they have a passively cooled ITX case. It looks pretty cool but unfortunately doesn't support any PCI cards. It's also
a bit pricy.
This
Leyo M1 supports low profile cards however! It's also quite a bit cheaper but fairly basic looking. The design looks like it'd be good for a budget HTPC build. The 3.5 Hard Drive mount comes over the CPU fan a bit so that may block some things. I'm not sure i'd take it over
the CEMO 1001, as it's about the same size and has a 3rd PCI slot.
Going out of SFF, Primo (who makes the ITX P115 and the ATX P66E) now has an mATX case, which looks about the same as the P66E. This new one is
the P37. It's nothing crazy to write home about but the design is very clean looking. Definitely not SFF however
I hope they make a larger P115 for mATX now.
Getting back to SFF, there is another clean design which kind of came out of nowhere. It's another Mac Pro clone but with more of a Dan A4 layout unlike the Pi cases, meaning you can fit GTX 1070's in it. This is the
ABBIPC Model 001. No idea who made this but it's cool! SFX power supplies are supported!
And some others which are similar to the DAN-A4
SeaDamaged - I don't get it
ABBIPC's Acrylic version - really cheap
And
another version from them, but slightly more expensive
NF4-ITX
Warhead Nano V3.5
