KK Concept Case

[xavdeman]

Ok, again no comments But still... We've made some radical changes...
1. Reoriented the PSU. Case is now way thinner. This meant sacrificing the 180mm but we've added an intake duct near the CPU.
2. Possible to add any known CPU cooler.
3. Possible to add DUAL CHIP GPUs like the AMD 6970
4. Possible to add HIGH GPUs like the GTX480
5. More exterior and interior changes.

Renders with components will be coming soon.

Please comment.

What is the size of the case and how many HDD's can it hold?

We're going for 2x 3.5" hdd, above the GPU's, seperated by some form of isolation of course, and one or two 2.5" wherever we find room for it (not hard

That might work, what about size as that is the most important factor for me?

~30(w)x~19(h)x~36(d). It's physically impossible to go smaller since you wouldn't be able to use normal CPU tower coolers (width), dual chip GPU's (depth) or mount hard disks (height).

love the latest render

I think though you can go smaller
if you settle for a cooler like corsair h70 or coolit
putting the psu on top of the cpu (sgo5 style)

you can go 26x32x17= 14.14 L

32% smaller than the current volume 30x36x19= 20.5 L

good luck

I could probably live with everything else except depth. For my needs it has to be below 30cm.

Do you have any sort of timetable for a ready product or is this just pure speculation?

We require some assistance on production. If anyone here has any contacts in Europe (preferable The Netherlands) where we discuss production it would be much obliged. As for depth, if we go below 30cm you won't have room for double chip GPUs and indirect noise escape paths like this design.

Also: new sketch uploaded. We're sorry the previous ones didn't provide much of a clue to the placement of the internals. This one aims to resolve that. Beneath the two HDD's will be room for two GPUs of the biggest sort. The biggest and widest CPU coolers will be able to be placed inside this chassis. Effectively allowing the user to make zero compromise on cooling, while still having the smallest form factor possible. Screen taken with the 120mm fan placed. If we replace it with a 92mm fan we will be able to keep an edged power connector within the chassis and exit through the back. With 120mm the power connector will exit through the right side.

Ending on a normative note, ATX PSUs are way too big. There should be a sub-1000 wattish standard in a much smaller form factor.

Let us know your thoughts!
