Prototype X-ICBM Bulava 4.3L ITX case for workstation build.

[XCreator]

We are making 7 prototypes of X-ICBMs, 2 of them will be hold, other will come one by one.
The second one (First one is X-peacekeeper) has been done is X-ICBM Bulava 4.3L ITX case for workstation build:
- Size : 85x195x262mm.
- Support ITX motherboad, Flex PSU, Pico PSU (Like HDPlex set). 1 single slot full length GPU ( Max : quadro P4000 ).
- Support 2x80mm fan.
- Remote power switch.
- DC 12 V output support (for Dock station).
Full review and test report will be done after collect all necessary components.

I've always wanted to but a PC inside an intercontinental ballistic missile....

How much though?
And will the case be painted?

Please see our X-ICBM project : X-ICBM for more information.
How to calculate X-ICBMs cases cost? It depend on:
1. Material : Steel (Cheapest), Aluminium ( Series 5-7, series 7 is most expensive ), Stainless Steel ( Durable, not too heavy in LegoFab V3, best choice).
2. Surface treatment: Sand-blast (For all), painting (For steel), anode, heat treatment (Aluminium), PVD coated ( for SS, most expensive).
3. Option: vent hole shape, Acrylic sheet insert, engraving...
4. Additional component: PCIE riser, Remote switch...
5. Volume: the smaller the cheaper.

For example, a popular console case 6.5L in stainless steel , sand-blast treatment, cost is about 200$, in steel with painting, cost is about 100$.
So the case with 4.3 L in steel with painting, cost is less than 100$.

The prototype is in Stainless steel, no need painting, just need sand-blast, and a luxury surface treatment option is PVD coated.

Does it fit the 1070 Katana?

Does it fit the 1070 Katana?

Yes, 1070 Katana is longer but P4000 need more space for ATX 6 pin power connector, but now, 1070 Katana is rare.

What is the max GPU Length and CPU Height?

Very interesting !

Very interesting !

It is hard for me to make those kind of cases this time due I change design place.
I believe the trend of next few years is workstation components.
And I may show some of my ideas in other thread.
