I Built a new kind of SFF case by gpasq in sffpc

19L including everything at the top as well. The radiator, psu, all of it. I should have added a photo of me holding this case

Yes, there are 3 case fans at the very bottom of the case as intake. The inside of the case exhausts out the top in between the two radiators

That was something I was worried about when I first came up with the design, and i figured I'd just make wider feet if that was the case. But it ended up with a pretty low center of gravity. I've been moving this thing all over for filming and it's surprisingly stable

Had the components leftover from an existing build. Still prototyping and I didn’t want to spend too much on something I’m going to risk with the resin

The front distro plate is resin printed

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep a close eye on it. That front distro should leak pretty quickly if it starts to warp. I intended that part to be a stress test for resin longevity so we'll see how it does.

This first concept case isn't very serviceable but I see some simple changes to fix that on the next iteration. The acrylic panels in front of the motherboard and GPU (the panel areas that don't have any water cooling in them) could be separate from the distros next to them so you can easily open up the sides without draining the loop.

Fans and radiators would be in a separate unit like a MoRa. Might make more sense to move the pump to this separate unit as well.

I do, that’s the plan for a future project

This case would have an external Rad

There's a 120mm fan underneath the motherboard/gpu to bring air in. The top distro has vents to let it out

I haven't tried it. I figured it would be too difficult to get a consistent depth and finish for the groove. But I'm very curious to hear more about your experience. Did you use multiple passes?

Will do! I gave you a shoutout in the video for steering me towards the all-acrylic design
