To view this case mod, go here.
Specs:
ASRock AM1B-ITX
AM1 5350 Kabini
4GB DDR3
Palit GTX580 1.5GB
Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Modular
64GB SSD
Mods:
Completely made of slim floor wood
Everything holds with screws and corners
2x 92mm fans at the bottom for intake
1x 120mm fan at the top for exhaust
A small magnet behind the door knob keeps the lid closed
Dimensions: 8"x8"x16"
Managed to fit a 3.5 HDD too! (not in the pics)
Top fan could have been inside, but I felt that the hot air was better pulled out from the outside..
I must say this case was inspired by the Silverstone FT03 Mini. I wanted to do something smaller by myself and to try a build where heat convection (vertical air movement) would be used. The goal was to cram a 10 inch gpu with a full sized psu in a small vertical case, in other words the smallest decent gaming build. I consider this construction to be a prototype. The final one is yet to come, even smaller with a plexiglass enclosure.
At full load, the max temps would be around 80~85C, which is pretty good considering the power-hungry GTX580. Could have made vent holes for the gpu and mesh surface for the top ..but didn't bother since temps were pretty good. Maybe someday I'll bother.
