Final specs: 191 mm x 156 mm x 218 mm external dimension. 6.5L CPU Cooler: 71mm with SFX PSU, 135mm without GPU: Up to 172mm length (or a bit longer if you're willing to fiddle with it more), max 30 mm heigh over reference size including power connector. Fan support: Up to 140mm with single slot...

Hello fellow members. I'd like to introduce the next case to the PURE family of cases. The specs are as follows: Mini-ITX motherboard 175mm Dual Slot, Max 25mm over ref. height (including power connector) GPU SFX power supply support, External HDPLEX 400 AC-DC support, C6 power entry, 12mm...

It's live now. https://j-hackcompany.com/ First batch is for sale. Black and white in limited quantities. Had some QC issues, so a couple of them didn't make it. Finish is in matte black/black, or matte black + gloss white. AC-DC kits available.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6J4w8Y You can build your own. G4560 + RX 570 is a little weaker than Xbox One X. For PCs, you generally pay upfront $100-200 if you're looking for same performance, that is saved back through PC sales and mostly free online.

Nothing better than the Noctua for air cooling. Consider making some kind of shroud for the cooler so that it is restricted to only taking in cool air.

Tip: don't get the M22. Get the rosewill version which had a slimmer cpu block. Here is mine with the rosewill PB120. Using a thermalright fan to cool the motherboard area. 65C gaming run on 2600X. Is a pain to install. Had to remove the PCIE riser board. I recommend Dancase shave off 2mm...

Panda.

I had a 4L design, but that is on hold. For my second project, I am trying to differentiate from L4. I will likely revisit a design similar to L4 in the future, but I'd like a design that i can also use as a daily driver. Up to 84mm CPU cooler with LP or reference height GPU. FLEX ATX /...

Yeah. It'll be powder coated. Since I'm doing small runs there will be more color choices than just black. For the sample, I'm trying to go for a two tone color scheme. The ISK does have the shortfall of not being well ventilated as well. I'll have to think about implementing Vesa mount but...

Hello guys, Case specs: ITX Mobo No GPU 48mm cpu cooler height Flexible compartment for installing: 3x 2.5SSD OR Meanwell RPS 200-12-C 2x 60x60x25mm fans Currently the project has been sent to prototyping, so I should get a couple samples a few weeks. Currently there are many similar...

Depending on your noise requirements, you can go for a 450W bronze power supply. Usually it is quiet at the couch distance unless you have a very quiet room. Otherwise looks pretty good.

1. You don't really need an nvme drive. A sata based drive is plenty fast. 2. A 650W gold psu is not necessary for a cpu that consumes 120W. 3. RAM performance is important but you should be looking for the best value at speeds. You don't nearly as much performance when you aren't playing games.

By the time you hook up 3 hdplex (not that you should) a corsair SF600 is more efficient in both power regulation and space.

I think 4L is my goal as well. I'd love to design one that can handle a 1080 and a 6 core cpu. I think the ventilation design can be massively improved but a layout like custom mod that outlined above is the only way. Baby steps. :)
