Dear Computer base users,

I would like you present our idea for mini-itx case which came after long search of smallest possible mini-itx case with ability to use high end hardware end powerful watercooling loop.

We have made final changes --- project moved to SFX psu only and this allows to mount 60 mm thick side radiator(3x120mm)

Currently awaiting final prototype from manufacturer. The main goal is to manufacturer such case locally in Europe(Poland to be specific)
IF anyone will be interested we will start crowdfunding project.

OVERDOSE Case details:
Case size is as follows:
Length:415 mm
Width:258 mm
Height: 221 mm plus feet

RADIATORS:
Side radiator (3x120mm)maximum dimensions:
Length : 415mm
Width: 135 mm
Thickness: 60 mm

It does fit such units as EKWB PREDATOR

Rear radiator (1x120mm) maximum dimensions:
Length: 160mm
Width: 134mm
Thickness : depends on cpu socket location

Easy access to pump/res location and installations as brackets are removable.

For the Horizontal bracket:
Maximum height is 189mm or 208 mm(bracket mounted upside down)
Pre-drill holes for Laing DDC mounting - internal and externall ones
Pre-drill holes for DDC pumps with heatsing housing - 50mm spacing

It does fit all the Laing DDC pump variants, as well as heatsing options.
In terms of height it does fit such units as:
Aquacomputer aqualis DDC 150 ml
Aquacomputer aqualis DDC 100 ml
Alphacool Laing DDC310 - Complete Edition Eisdecke
EK-XRES 140 DDC
EK-XRES 100 DDC

VERTICAL BRACKET:

Pre-drill holes for Aquacomputer aqualis D5 100ml
Pre-drill holes for EKWB EK-XRES D5 pump/res combo
Maximum height is 214 mm

BOTTOM OF THE CASE:
Pre-drill holes for Alphacool Eisdecke mounting bracket for DDC and D5 pump/top systems with Alphacool Eisdecke DDC/D5 single reservoir for Alphacool

SFX POWER SUPPLY:
total height space is 189 mm
recommended length will be 150mm to have space for connectors and cables.

GRAPHICS CARD:
Maximum length 302mm:

STORAGE CAPABILITIES:
Window bracket:
one HDD drive and two SSD drives
Bottom of the case:
Two SSD drives

Background story:
As computer enthusiast and falling in love with watercooling have started to find best possible mini-itx solution with excellent watercooling posibilities.
For more than a year we where trying to find the way to fit 360 radiator into smallest possible case with mini-itx board.
First trying scratch build of vertical setup:

Than the Radiator and pump:

But in the setup above there was almost no space for tubing and cabling :(
and the was more than 30 cm high....

Than we have tried scratch building horizontal case:

This was really close to what we wanted but with no space for radiator mountings and tight on hdd drive as well as very short psu. This setup was 40 cm long and to get 360 radiator. Two needed to be used one 120 on the rear and 240 on the side.
We have decide to extended case a bit and move PSU to vertical position and have 360 rad on the whole side of the case.

It came up like this:

Now two setup of radiators are possible, either 360 rad on the side or two radiators - one 120 rad on the rear and second 240 on the side.

What dou you guys think of such watercooling dedicated case with clear panel window ?

Du kannst gerne Deutsch reden :) Or do you even speak german?
Sag ma warum "we" und nicht "I"?
120Gb Kingston SSD obwohl du eine Custom WaKü hast :D

Schönes Projekt : daumen

I would like to speak german, as it's perfect language for Engineering and Tech, but unfortunately can't.
This project is cooperative work team of two people.
I know Kingston SSDNOw is not best option for high performance, but this is for test purposes :freak:

Few more plexi shots:

That's definitely a very compact case. Very good job.

I don't like the way hardware is aranged in the case, but I am sure many other people will like that case.
 
Have just update the main post, as project have switched to SFX only psu, this allows to use 60mm thick radiator on the side(3x120)
Possible radiators setup.

Push config:

Pull config:

Dual Rad config:

As for pump/res mountings two brackets are avaiable - Horizontal and Vertical.
Horizontal bracket can be easily adjust:

Horizontal bracket low position:

Horizontal bracket, top position:

Power supply can be mounted now two ways, either facing storage bracket or facing radiator:

Will post more information regarding measurements tomorrow.
 
After long brake have received sfx prototype build ....

Usage of SFX power supply allows to install 60mm radiator:

Combo bracket allows to install D5 and DDC pumps for example Alphacool,Aquacomputer,Ekwb, Laing DDC, Heatsing for DDC:
