    wow, this case keeps getting better and better..

    Zotac and Asus have 670 "Mini".. should be perfect for this case... would leave some space for some cables/ ssd too


    any update on the kickstarter ? cant wait to get one for myself

    I'm not really a fan of those screws being exposed externally. It looks much cleaner without 'em.


    All systems sold. Will be back after Sandy Bridge!

    The GTX 670 will be even smaller if you remove the stock cooler and slap a waterblock on it.

    Thanks for the comments and critique. I am working on a kickstarter and I will see if I get accepted. In the meantime I am going to offer these for sale if it means at a higher price, and just offer more customization.

    For example, thick, waterjet cut custom backplate for the Intel DH77DF board:

    How about a video overview showing off all angles, features, and even acoustics with whatever cooling system that might be used (even if it's just at stock)?

    So what's the price?


    I wonder if there's anyone on XS in the PSU business. There has to be a solution to get a a high end I7 & gtx 680/690 in one of these, even if the extrenal power brick is the size of a cinder block!


    These are sick man!
    You must [not] advance.

    It depends on the motherboard; if the CPU socket is on the edge opposite the expansion slot then a blower style cooler like one from Dynatron works exceptionally well. My DFI MI is setup like this.

    The reining fad these days is to stick the cooler right in the middle of the board (which is dumb) but for that design the Silverstone NT07 works very well.

    Methinks a PicoPSU will suffice.
