![]() UK Price: £699.92 w/o OS Vibox (At time of review) That way you don't have the pain and irritation of working with a small case, and all the great cooling that comes with a bigger case.Introduction & Closer Look People are always making these tiny form factor cases so that people can have a PC in the living room, right? Why not a coffee table case (glass top or not), or maybe, an entertainment center (TV stand?) desk. Oh I had an idea yall might like, feel free to use it. Not really - the real issue here is the need in pretty much every case I can think of, to move the hot air out of the case in order to allow the components to breath fresh air - in the Defcon One all the thermal design has been thought of in a way that the heat dissipated inside of the case is minimal, eliminating the need for fans that are not the GPU ones or the AiO CPU cooler ones - the thermal design is completely different from any case on the market We do intend to give it full water-cooling support in addition to many other cool features We do have some drafts in the works, but until we can get this one on the market and the other project my partner is working on (a desk-case) we won't have the resources to develop it. I actually am the one who had the idea and did all the blueprinting and design for it The cables do route behind the motherboard plate and stay hidden between the GPU and motherboard plates ![]() If you liquid cool the CPU, and have the GPUs as you designed them to be, your thermal load int he case goes from 400+ Watts be below 60/70W, which eliminates the need for a big airflow What one needs to keep in mind is that regular cases have the need for fans to extract hot air from the case and dissipate the thermal load from the GPU and CPU The Defcon One does away with this and creates two separate air-flows : an independent one for GPUs and another for the CPU and motherboard side. ![]() We have however an idea of how to implement both rad in single GPU config, but that requires testing on the prototypes.Īs for additional fan holes etc, we didn't put any because they aren't actually needed. The optional 80mm fan mounting holes are on the motherboard side, on the back of the case, above the I/O.Ĭurrently the only way to use these hybrid coolers is to air cool the CPU and mount the 120mm rad where the CPU one would be. I have created a thread at Tek Syndicate to raise awareness about your project as well, do go there and answer more question.įirst off thank you so much for the support! will go there asap! Also, maybe make the front panel mesh for the intakes? I would like to suggest that you guys actually extend the fan intake grills all the way to the CPU side, make it at least be able to support 240mm rad and increasing the depth of the case if necessary. Will there be holes for piping of R9 390X or 980Ti Hybrid? There is are more questions which are, where is the 80mm fan? As for cable routing, I suppose you can route the cables behind the mobo tray and the graphics card tray? Oh I see, it appears that your design for the graphics card side is purely air cooled. We'll be running test and are strongly considering adding an oversized side-panel to fit 2.5 and 3 slot graphic cards, but we'll nee to build the prototype to test the feasibility.įeel free to ask any other question you may have, and I'll gladly clarify Since the amount of heat dissipated by the back of the card isa small fraction of that dissipated by the heatsink, there are not thermal problems (in fact the temps are lower thanks to the fresh air intake)Īs you can see from the renders that front grid is eventually hidden from sight by the front panel. The hot air is then pushed out from the back of the case and the front in the front there can be seen a grid, designed to both let the air from the GPU pass and to slow it down, so that it will then diffuse. ![]() The graphics cards take in fresh air from outside via the cut-out side window, so the air intake it not a concern since the cut out will allow to take in air for 3x80mm fans for each card. Other concern is that the heat output of the cards may melt the side window. The airflow look extremely restricted, will there be extra space to handle a 2.5 slot graphics card without choking them? Me and people from Ten Syndicate have this question that is, how are you going to handle the heat issue on the graphics card side?
