Hey Folks
I’ve been working on a little side project, building my own mini-ITX PC case. I’m currently in the design phase, so it is just in its early stages. Nevertheless I’d like to get some feedback before going further.
I don’t know if many WPC members would be interested in taking a look at something like this (I know there are at least two or three), but before I introduce my current pet project, I’d like to get official permission to do so.
I could build this case myself if I had to, but I’d prefer to outsource that task to professionals with better equipment. Unfortunately, doing so for just one case is prohibitively expensive. So, if feedback is positive and I can pique other’s interest, I intend to start a crowd funding campaign to turn it into reality. So at least in that sense this would be a self-promotional thread. That is why I'm asking for permission.
Is this acceptable? Is there anything I need to be aware of? I hope you see it as just another thread like the concept phone posts, or the UI design studies many WP fans make. However, I’ll harbour no ill will if you folks see any reason why this isn’t a good idea.
I suspect I’ll eventually move the main discussion over to another site that is more geared towards PC enthusiasts, like www.hardforum.com, but I thought I’d like to start here, simply because WPC is where I am most at home.
Design Philosophy:
I won't get into specifics or preliminary specs here. If you know a little something about PC cases, taking a look at the pictures below should give you a first impression of how it differs from most other offerings on the market.
What do you guys think? Is this okay to take to the Off-Topic-Lounge?

Design Philosophy:
- High quality and uncompromising mini-ITX case built specifically for the water cooling enthusiast.
- One of the easiest mini-ITX cases to build in, despite also being one of the smallest.
- The only things more important than size reduction are silent operation and cooling performance.
- Cost is important, but it is less important than quality, design, durability, craftsmanship and spirit.
