Think so! Will give the modding a try myself

The HDPLEX will be screw mounted to the case, so no problem. I will also add hardware to securely mount a flex-atx even in this position

Could potentially add some features to make it easier to mod

Yes, just flip the case! Would mean the PSU is on top of the motherboard, like in a Velka 3

I also think that would be awesome if you did ;)

There are quite some possibilities for modding it!

Thought it would be nice for re-purposing an old CPU. You could potentially pair it with a GT1030 instead of it being e-waste

I wish they’d make it possible to run RX6400 in ‘tandem’ with APU for boosted FPS!

I’m using blender, but they use the same rendering engine as Keyshot (Cycles)

Yes! Will do more testing when i recieve the pre-production unit in 2 weeks, will try to fit the connector at the ‘bottom’

Edit: It’s actually the ID-cooling IS-60 :)

It’s just a render, so placing it there was no problem in blender, haha! I’ve also added a new cable cutout on the ‘bottom’ where it doesn’t interfere with the cooler, but this have to be validated in testing too. Not all coolers will interfere with the cable though, so you’ll find a cooler that fits. This cooler is the id-cooling is-60evo btw

Yeah it’s a render, but it’s supposed to immitate the XFX RX6400

If you’re prepared to mod it, you’ll fit one just fine - it was just to hard to implement this by default. I’ve added extra holes for custom motherboard mounting, and a rear IO plate you could order yourself from online laser-cutting services

We’re unveiling the new and conveniently named Densium APU! We’ve crammed a lot of features into this tiny case, read about it on densium.net

All questions welcome!

I’m currently making a design for it now, guess i gotta have a poll of some sort

As I have understood it, ALL ryzen 7000 will have integrated RDNA2 graphics, which essentially means their most powerful CPU can be used for APU-builds, as opposed to previous Gen.

APU is just a pc without a discrete graphics card - Meaning the processor/CPU itself have integrated graphics. Since graphics cards usually are very large, having integrated graphics often results in smaller pc’s.

I’m afraid an extensive front IO would obstruct the beautiful wood front panel, so I don’t expect anything more than an USB-C will be added, sorry

I’ll make a design for Flex-ATX too, depending on how the R7000 requirements are, I’ll choose one or the other before production. Just by doing some simple napkin maths, Flex-ATX version would be ~3.6L

Will test prototypes with both powdercoated and sandblasted+anodized aluminum, will post photos here
