SketchUp Bit-Tech Case Design Contest - SFF Edition - Powered by LOSIAS

@ Cheapskate : Thank you I know this site, but i am afraid to use many parts
of this side in my modell. My PC is very old
The mainboard is from this side.

@ GuilleAcoustic : I had a similar idea. The "book" of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
with an integrated 15" Touchscreen

 

Projekt Engel

Good evening Boys & Girls,

here is something different from my first case con.

I call it "Engel" The case is not finished yet.

But here two little previews:

This is a view on top of the case :



And this from the back with open hdd access :



TO-DOs

- Angels wings on both sides
- nice front panel

I hope that i may post the final renders to the january 12

Umm, I don't think your designs really belong in this small form factor contest, they don't adhere to the theme and just look like normal/large custom cases- might be better to put them in their own thread featuring your designs...

 

I didn't unterstand the contest as an sff contest
But you are right. I will open my own thread with a
little project. No sketchup more pro/Engineer

Perhaps I get a idea of a sff case. We will see.

 

SFF with mATX is not that easy to be honest. You have to make some sacrifice. I have another idea I want to try with a completly different purpose.

EDIT : Ok here it comes it a very early state. An all-in-one computer with acquisition cards and built-in bench PSU.

 

Year, this is my opinon, too. A µATX isn't realy a ssf board ... its between ... like GuilleAcoustic
said, with some sacrifice it is possible to build a sff case. I dont like sacrifices...

 

started working on my design again the gray cube is 10cm^3

 

Nice one there Dark . I'm very tempted to try indigo. Thea is nice but Indigo seams better (and is not very expensive).

 

thanks !
you should, I haven't played around with it much but so far I like it, way better than Kerkythea.

 

future humidore

Year it is a little nice red devil Dark~3nergy

So because, my posts are still moderated, i post my last "renders" 12 hours before the deadline.

I take the comments to heart and the last case is without any glamour. I call it "future humidore", because of the shape.



Sorry for the low quality of the renders. But Indigo is too much for my pc.

Its a little big to "fat" to be a sff. Its about 11 L ... with more time, i am sure that i am able to reduce the volume. It has 4 x 80mm radiators, one M2-ATX 160W Power Supply and two ssd's.

Here is the wireframe of the case



I hope the community like this case and ...

May be the force be with you ... ähm .. may the best win

 

Isn't the deadline set on the 21st ?

Here is a little update on my electronic all-in-one devel studio :



There will be a mu-metal shielding between the "computer" area and the bench-PSU area. The bench PSU is a single channel symetrical one (example -12V - 0 - +12V).

The computer part will house 2x PCI multifunction DAQ card with low-profile form factor (VECOW MP-6675 far exmaple). With th esuited software it could then act as an oscilloscope.

Hope you like the concept .

 

Oohhh bloody hell ...

You are right. I have to mush stress at work. So i am
not able to read the correct date. This give me a great opportunity
for the finishing Hip Hip Hurra Goal : lower then 10 L

I like your design. It is similar to some instruments here at my work.

 

some progress




YenLoWang, thanks ^^
Looks like you used a 100% black material in your render, you should brighten it up a bit like 97% black.

GuilleAcoustic, that looks nice, i like the front.

 

Hehe ... there's still time . Thanks for your kind words. I did use National Instrument PXI chassis at work and they are great piece of hardware, but lacks a built-in bench PSU. This could be a replacement for more modest use.

Thanks a lot. I'll try Indigo when I'm done with the design. Maybe I'll botter you for some tips .

Edit : I made the front fins thicker, I think it looks better this way

 

@Dark~3nergy : I had the possibilies : orange/black and orange white, the other combinations aren't acceptable ... Its a lot of black. With a little more illumination and more orange accents the whole case would look nicer.

@GuilleAcoustic : We have no NI. We use IMC Soft&Hardware And yes the thicker ones are better.

 

M-ATX is indeed SFF, IF you get the case right. Hell, I'm about to purchase a 12.5L m-atx case

General consensus over at losias.net is that SFF is anything below 20L, OR an uber small case for a big system (like an e-atx mobo in a 25L case)

Looking good guys Will update my entry some point soon

 

wouhouu 12,6L with the bench psu.

 

So Confusis, you say Prox isn't SFF anymore?

 

You are right. It has no more interest. You should give it to me

 

Not in a billion years mate, except for a lot of $$ ching ching $$
