All 3mm aluminium and front is 8mm aluminium (solid enough)


I want to make the case as small as possible so 240mm probably the max length for graphic card

my requirement :
1. CPU watercooling like corsair h50
2. 1 HDD and 1 SSD slot
3. must fit ATX PSU
4. graphic card space musnt too short
5. SOLID
6. good airflow


Anymore recommendation? If not i gonna make order

Yeah, I want it as small as possible. This case can only install 170mm card but i extend it because i want to install radiator. Those itx cooler temperature very terrible. I will get cards like gtx660 i believe next generation cards will become shorter. 270mm makes my case looks ugly because it become rectangle. I prefer as square as possible to look like mini

I don't want to drill anymore hole because what i think is single front fan and the hotair goes out to the back. If i drill a hole at graphic card area, the air that came from the front might go to the following hole then the air suck by graphic card.

SSD can fit there. for watercooling, I didnt see any wrong with radiator inside. Its all in one cooler like corsair h50.

I prefer internal HDD because I prefer solidness (Internal hdd stays stablely there, screwed to a 3mm thick aluminium but portable ones always move). anyway putting a fan there doesn't help too much since its blocked by the psu.

I want as small as possible so I don't think i need cable management (adds some width to the case)
The airflow concept is single fan front push, and the air can only go out to the back.
Plus my psu is modular

Heres the pic with size with PSU installed

already bought seasonic x650 Now i wondering need to add another 3cm or not(fits 270mm card, radiator push pull). need extra rm30 and the case became longer again

I decided to make it 300mm deep so i can install any card I want, including custom designed cards. I don't want to limit my preference of cards since i have a powerful psu. Now the problem is there are a lot of space between psu and radiator (already push pull), what should i put there?

<RM300

dun worry the fan always don't spin
but there are a lot of 6cm ~ 7cm space there thinking way to utilize it or i dun like too much space like that

Shorter psu doesn't help it will still get blocked by motherboard

sorry all, i found a OEM GTX560ti 448cores at 22.8cm
So my design will become this again


regarding the psu i didnt choose silverstone because its ripple around 45mv and seasonic only around 15mv. Im serious audiophile so i must get a good power supply. Yeah i dont like those person keep needs a lot of power (so-called for safety) but what i want is seasonic x series and not 650W

google sketchup

Hi all, heres my case! （ the seasonic sticker...)

thank you! im thinking to install full custom watercooling with 240 radiator, for noiseless setup, modding is required, whats everyone's opinion on this?

now trying to fit 140mm 60mm thick radiator. finding spaces for pump and resavior...

thank you for support,
just travelled the unit to my fren's house once and i found that thick aluminium for itx's case material is not a good idea, if you want portability, choose plastic case.

I'm thinking to buy 140mm rad version of all in one water cooler,and then invest a good fan, perhaps noctua 140mm fans, and installs arctic xtreme plus II for my gpu, then its perfect powerful small unit and silence too.
This kind of case i think quite impossible to fit another pump and resavior.

its for sale now

just wait, there will be a lot of case look like steambox soon
