@ipg Ncase m2 would be a nice one. Console like, I don't know. I am using a Fractal Ridge at the moment. I love how Tetra R looks like (from thor-zone), but that one is still ITX form factor.

Well the universe hasn’t told me that I shouldn’t so I’m going to do it

FOR SCIENCE!

Has anyone in the #sff #smallformfactor #pcbuilding #homelab #pc world bolted a #Noctua L9i onto an #AMD Ryzen 9 7900?

The Noctua site says it should just about work with no turbo, but I’m interested in real world experiences

You may not like it but this is what the ultimate small factor PC case looks like

(Yes there is dust, these parts have been sitting unused for many years now and I don't have my compressed air with me) #pcbuilding #pcbuild #smallformfactor

I'm very surprised how much i can host with just a cheap #corei5 on a #lowpower #smallformfactor pc. I'm already hosting everything i want and still have enough resources to host even more in the future.

The funny thing in #SmallFormFactor #sffpc builds is: If you're saying you've "upgraded", you actually have downgraded - but in size only.

For example: Currently I am preparing to add an AIO to 10L case, the S400. But I'm already preparing for the next upgrade, ie. the S300 - it only got 8L.

Asus' low-profile RTX 4060 still takes up two slots, but its shorter shroud fits more easily into SFF builds tomshardware.com/pc-components

Asus' latest low-profile RTX 4060 graphics card is designed to fit perfectly into small form factor (SFF) builds.

@ifixcoinops @natecull Go #smallformfactor then - combine insane amounts of power with inane amounts of efficiency inside an appaling tiny volume of space .. some of these are even meant to be carry-on or to be put in your average pelican case.

For a few examples, see eg. r/sffpc, r/mffpc or just head over to smallformfactor.net :)

I’m also planning to upgrade the rtx a2000 to the rtx 4000 ada sff, eventually. The holy grail for pcs.

For now, and I guess the foreseeable future, that gpu is stupid expensive. But eventually it will come down to a more reasonable price…

~2x performance bump. Yes please.

I recently bought an z2 mini g9 pc for cad / design work. It has a , 64gb and an rtx gpu. In a disappointingly thermal and power-compromised (280w total) enclosure. But also only 3.5L!

Is it worth considering to swap in an i7 down the road? It would (presumably?) be limited to PL1=90w and PL2=190w, the stock settings for the 12700k in this machine.

@thordinary Good ... LUCK :D

Also: What case? #smallformfactor #sff

2023-03-01

Nearly done with #building my new NAS / music #server / nimble surf station. Finished adding all required case fans, plus a bit of cable management. Tomorrow evening, hopefully, the last step (for now): moving the PSU into the replacement PSU cage which should've arrived by then.

#sff #smallformfactor #pcbuild #linux

Top: two 92mm fans, set onto a case fan holder, preparing to be attached to it.Computer case (the Inter-Tech IM-1 Pocket, a licensed build of the SAMA IM01), with fully built system, open top and side, showing the case fan holder on top, with one side of the fans attached using cable binders.View inside of the case, to the left, the PSU, mid, the CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D9L), and below that, on the case bottom, a slim case fan.Another view of the slim case fan, with wiring following the outer side over to the Mainboard, to avoid having to cross the solid aluminium brick of the i/o shield.

@AndyGER oh my, somebody into #smallformfactor pcs <3

@theautisticcoach @autisticadvocacy @actuallyautistic On that original topic: Seemingly random objects - aside of being neurodivergent, I am also strongly sight-impaired. So my super power* demands I need to not only see, but also feel the room. Kinda xD

The current main focus is touching the empty #smallformfactor PC case thats sitting on a shelf whenever walking by 😅

*I have what I describe as a 4-dimensional semi-eidetic memory: Ie. remembering surroundings in both space AND time.

Möchte Amazon mir irgendwas damit mitteilen? / Is #amazon trying to tell me something?

Hintergrund: Ich habe auf Amazonien nach #geeek gesucht, einem kleinen Hersteller für #sff PC-Gehäuse / Background: I was searching for "Geeek", a #smallformfactor pc case manufacturer.

#thenumberofthebeast #666 #sataan

Screenshot of amazon search result for "geeek", showing selected additional items, including the Cougar QBX mini-itx PC case, priced at 66.66 Euro.

Very quick initial #review / #handson over on the FSP Dagger Pro 850W #SFX #psu :

The unit itself is very well made, but the modular cables are .. mediocre, at best. Very stiff, rigid, dont like bending much, and way too long for regular SFX builds.

The unit itself might be great in tests, but its money thrown out of the window if one cannot use it in an ACTUAL #SmallFormFactor build!

Rather disgruntled rn.

2022-12-29

any SFF PC building enthusiasts out there on fedi have any recommendations for slimline cases that can support a micro ATX motherboard and a dual-slot GPU? ideally something not too different from the size of a video game console, looking to repurpose some old parts laying around #pcbuilding #smallformfactor
