Lone Industries L1 Here's a simple/minimalist case I designed and produced right here in Canada! :canadianwave: It is designed to be as simple as possible, and is unique in that it's designed specifically for the picoPSU. DETAILS Mini-ITX tower (220 x 94 x 220 mm) 1.6 mm aluminum with powder coat finish 2x 80x25mm exhaust fan mounts 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD bracket (SSD recommeded) 1x Low-profile expansion slot 2x 2.5mm DC input, 1x Mini-DIN input hole for PicoPSU power supplies 60 mm recommended max CPU clearance (71 mm to side panel) 16 mm anti-vandal power switch PEM stainless steel nuts, and standoffs (No rivets) Black fasteners Black stick-on case feet Silicone fan mounts (8) PSU compatibility: PicoPSU (or motherboards with built-in DC converters) Availability: July 2013 loneindustries.com I'm curious what people think, and if you have any feedback. I realize it may not be for everyone, so please don't be too hard on me!

I'm assuming that's mITX? First question... Is there a "front" panel of any sort? I don't see a power button let alone any case usb (although that's not all that important). |

Looks pretty decent. Any plans for larger cases? |
Neat small little box - I like it :) Assuming that nothing more that mobo, PicoPSU and some SSD is not there and it is not even planed to be there, right? How is CPU and how well it cool? I would be inclined to make some holes into over the CPU fan, but... you probably have reasons why not, right? And how do you made the perforations in the sides of the case? |

Here's another running an A10-6700: [H]ard|Forum - View Single Post - Any interest in PicoPSU based Mini-ITX case? A couple others have also asked about a vented side panel. I may offer one separately if enough people ask for it. Hard for me to justify it as the default option though. I can see it's purpose, and utility though. I would want to try running a 120 mm fan above the CPU with no 80 mm case fans. But then I have a big hole on the side, and the top! :biggrin: The perforations are just cut out with a rectangle punch. |
Beautiful little cases there. I'm a huge fan of the small cases. I love the minimalist design. Wondering what kind of power supply that is and where they can be obtained? |
