While I am waiting for some parts to arrive for my watercooling build, I found a chassis on ebay I have been looking to acquire for a while. I'm doing only minimal modding but alot of cramming so thought I would stick it up for your comments. HDPLEX H1.S version 1 (Black) They are beautiful little cases and I managed to snap one off Ebay recently rather cheaply. The key thing is its a V1, which is shorter than the V2 but still gives me everything I need. I'm going to migrate my browsing machine over to this case and hopefully go entirely passive. My existing build thats being transfered: GIGABYTE MDQ17AI thin ITX Intel i7-7700T 16gb DDR4 2666 SODIMM 1TB SAMSUNG MZVLW1T0HMLH (PCI-E 3.0 x4) Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Its currently powered by a laptop brick but I aim to also add internal PSU when they are available. The build! So I should have taken some pictures before I started building, but I didn't, so here is a couple of shots from mid-way. I then added the heatpipes in, they needed a little tweaking as the CPU slot is in a different position on thin boards, but it was neat once I got it sorted. Mid tweaking: I then fitted my single slot 1050ti: It will eventually look something like this once I finish building the new lid: Up next: More heatpipes for the GPU to lid Finish the lid off and paint Benchies
Run Prime95 and BAM! You've got yourself an IoT Waffle Iron Really though, well done so far with the packaging. Any denser and you'll just have an aluminium billet .
I went there. Heat pipes are a better option. Which reminds me, I had problems with hotboxing the ssd.
I have some copper plate, aluminium plate and heat pipes on order. DIY GPU cooling at the ready! If only I could find a 85mm x 100mm x 15mm vapour chamber
