Sound dampening = don't expect a miracle. Sound redirection = I'm hoping for a measurable difference. When I do the build log I'll make sure to include noise numbers!

@Necere Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. The flaps are very simple in design, from above they look like two V's, one above the other (sides connected with straight lines, shaping a wierd looking arrow). From the side (or front/back, rather) they are once again shaped as a V...

@theGryphon Heh, yeah, the red/yellow sticks out. I keep switching colors for different renders, mostly so I can see how things look (it's hard to see where something ends and something else begins otherwise. I even have to intentionally mess up the lining of the panels otherwise it'll look...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Your response was way faster than I had anticipated the first response to be. The SFF is heading into a brave new world the upcoming years, I don't expect it to be too long until someone makes what you wish for. :)

FAQ 1) Do you have a TL;DR? Yes: TL;DR: Read it all. 2) Something something Ncase something? No.

Raphbox* details Outside details: Dimensions*: 138x214x361 (mm, WxHxD), 10,66 liters. Material: Aluminum. Right now only 2mm, but will convert some to 1-1,5mm (panels will be either 1,5mm or stay 2mm) Front panel**: 2x USB 3.0. Hideable. No mic/audio jacks. Fan controller**: This is...

My first take on mini-ITX (click for larger version) If there’s one thing I know, it’s games, and as a natural extension gamers; as I am one myself. As a gamer, I’ve always been drawn to the concept of squeezing as much power as possible into as a small space as...

What is mini-ITX for me? This chapter is long and windy, and a must-include for a wall-of-texter like me. Its only purpose is for you to get to know me better, how I view things, my values, how I operate, etc. You can safely skip this part if your only interest is in my project. No hard...

Forewords Before we get started, I’d like to point out a few things. You might have scrolled down for a while until giving up, and then went back here to start reading to figure out what the hell I’m smoking. Who makes a 5000+ word (~30 000 character) presentation of a hobby...

Raphbox This is a work in progress. Keep that in mind! If you’re looking for specifics about the chassis, it’s chapter 5. 1. News / Updates (this post) 2. Forewords 3. Introduction, my views on ITX 4. Introduction, my first attempt at an ITX chassi 5. More in-depth...

Given the volume, width, relative dimensions, placement of the side holes, and support for WC, am I correct in guessing *width is around 100-120mm? *you're placing the GPU parallel to the motherboard (above, not behind like the A4) *support for full-length GPU's *both CPU and GPU can be...

I hope it's not the final design. With a 178mm width I'm expecting the hoses to have a minimum requirement of 280-370mm in length, which will be hard to tuck in when you close the flap, as they'll be likely to rest on the backside of the GPU. This is also assuming the picture shows the maximum...

I wouldn't either. But then again, I wouldn't go for an i7 when aiming for "dead quiet" and portable, since the passive heatsink I'm thinking about is the size of a handbag. You could go for the T-model, or underclock a K-model, but once again I wouldn't, as the price/performance imo wouldn't be...

Just piling on the wealth of information already given in this thread. If you're looking for dead quiet, you're looking for no movable parts. That means low TDP CPU, no case fans, etc. If you're looking for as small and portable as possible, you're looking for thin mini-itx. The one I can think...
