SilverStone Outed An SFF Case For ‘Power Users’ At Computex

[Guest]

In addition to the SilverStone RVZ04 Micro-STX chassis we spotted at Computex, we also noticed that the company had what it billed as an “SFF for power users” on display in Taipei.

PIO boards are as rare as hen's teeth stateside, so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this case or boards to put in it. Not a consumer product.

That's hilarious. I built my own little SFF case out of parts (aluminium u-channel, plastic sides, etc which is laid out almost exactly like that to a T. Only difference is that I have the motherboard and GPU swapped. 450w SFX power supply, GTX 1060, Xeon E3-1230 v1 and 16GB DDR3. Two 2.5" drives.

Running the F@H on it gets it a little warm until I dropped in an additional fan to move more fresh air in and out the top.

A Silverstone FTZ case with GPU and CPU intake on the same side? FINALLY! Now it can go into the horizontal position without choking the GPU.

If it ends up good, I might even buy one...

i would expect being able to fit a 240mm AIO in a SFF for power users. And idk, acrylic makes the case look cheap.

I've only seen PIO boards mentioned once before, so I'm not very familiar with them. Judging by the relatively bare IO panel, the board in the photos doesn't have a lot of features. If that's indicative of the PIO boards available, it may be hard to position this case for "power users".

I wonder, can you use a mini-itx board and a riser ribbon cable on the pcie slot in this case instead of a PIO board? The fact that the CPU and GPU fans are oriented the same way is a definite plus over my RVZ-01b.

Getting smaller. Someday small-form-factor cases will fit (airline) carry-on bags/packs.
(This is 395mm × 380mm × 86mm. 380mm is 40-60mm too large, airline dependent.)
