Stickg1,
Hmmm, that's sounds interesting! If you're looking for a matx version of Compact Splash then there's one fella, Auxilium, goes by the name
Project Arctic but the sad part is that the poor fella can't generate attention due to OCN's rep rule. I think he moved to bit-tech.net where those sort of rules are relaxed though you'd need to PM him if he's made any progress with machining the 20 or so cases.
You also have
Hex Gear and
Parvum systems to look forward to where Hex's cases are for matx and Parvum just released their X1.0 chassis. With the Parvum though you can contact Justin&Shawn and have them make out custom acrylic work on the case itself and have them ship it to you.
If you're interested in the Compact Splash scene I know one fella who is willing to let go of his but in itself is a big undertaking since moving to a Splash is about alot of compromises but with the bite for having 360mm of rad space internally.
The Ncase M1 may be recommended but with the numbers now going to the 1000's already sold I would sway you away from one and it can house a max of 240mm rad space...don't get me started on if its a good case for watercooling(because its not)
Loneindustries cases are for people who need something to replace their laptops - I don't think they are available now but you can find James on [H]
Oh and lastly you can hit up Joshua on NFC-systems. He's a real swell guy - if you're not looking to watercooling and very small machines on aircooling then you can drop him a line via contact us. Chances are the S3 mini will be available this Spring...?Not sure though.
^ All of the above are in a niche of their own so compromises will definitely need to be made and they will set you back with premium pricing(though worthy) and in some instances high shipping costs.
If you're asking for suggestions from mass case manufacturers; Showcased in CES this year you have the
Deepcool Tristellar+Pentower Silverstone's RZV02, Phanteks Enthoo Evolv itx
Oh and how could I forget, there's the EK vulture chassis that is currently being run around the mod community before it gets proper exposure and final MRP and launch. To add to that bundle, PDXLAN will bring in an announcement from Caselabs about the X2 chassis.
I'm a little busy so can't dig up all the links to those cases
sorry stick + Don't ask me which route I'd pick - I'm heavily biased with Compact Splash
- already own 4.
Thanks for the mention bud! :thumb:
