If you went with a 5600 it could cost as low as $1050 depending on the parts. But you do miss out on ease of upgradability

[@MadridistaFrieren]

I'm actually dissapointed with AMD because they forgor 💀☠️ about the LP GPU market. Nvidia doesn't have any competitor there.

[@FluxDigital]

AMD cards just aren’t power efficient enough for LP cooling I’m guessing

[@Empty_Vima]

They haven 't forgotten 😂 You have amd radeon instinct 😅 they make graphics on the processor. Without competition. Power consumption is very important. They follow apple's path... The only question is the needs of the market.😅

[@maximus3294]

​@@FluxDigitalunfortunately thats true. across the board the nominally equivalent cards on the radeon side are less efficient. even the 7600 is rated for 165 watts or so

[@Empty_Vima]

​@@FluxDigitalhaha... tell this to the graphics on the processor. They're all losing to Apple. It's just that someone needs to wake up and go to the Framework stage.

[@austintea]

Amd is pushing powerful APU that can be used in small cases instead of a dedicated LP GPU

Great case and clever design! That slots on the front panel are really helping that GPU to breathe, considering radiator fins direction. Thumb up for front IO and top fans. Great job Gemcases!

[@Damiondabbles]

Just came across your channel yesterday. Loving the content already. I have a CM NR200 case jammed with stuff and looking to make it a little smaller.

[@mn-kjrxii8431]

Very eye opening and intriguing. This definitely planted a seed in my head. It's more smaller than a console, more powerful if not the same. I would like to see benchmark for Call of Duty at 1080p how many FPS you'd get with this small 4060 Gaming PC.

[@GuyFromDoom]

Love this video! May even make this build for myself!

[@DDHDTV]

dude your builds are so clean

[@rokkr6456]

Case is dope

[@jonathanbutler6635]

I have been looking for something like this for a while. I’ve been using an M-atx case even though I have an itchy motherboard since I wanted something slim. Thanks for the video. I am looking forward to building in this. Also, I’ve noticed swapping my nh-l9a fan with thermalrights TL-B9 has helped with cooling a bit. And on that case I think you could use them for the top fans and set them as intake to help cool while the case is on its side.

[@brandankankel5209]

What an amazing little build!

[@janmiguelinocente2392]

Great case and great build. With its volume, it's impressive that you can still fit 2 decent sized case fans.

[@avirtualworld4U]

Very nice build, Nice case, sure got my attention whew!

[@v4714v]

6:35 and this is why I'd rather do it Velka-style: install the components in a clean fashion and then build the case, or risk scratching or improper mounting by sliding/maneuvering components around

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

It’s a bit tricky to install GPU but we preferred this approach to assemble the case as more fast and comfort. With some patience u will assemble the case without scratch, back panel can significantly bend without damage during assembly to allow safety insertion of gpu.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Love your build videos.

[@Caffeinated_Capybara]

I love it! it's such a clean little machine!

[@lukasaugustschulz]

3:39 Are you using an ipad pro as a monitor for this build? how did you managed to do it and is it worth it?

[@ShaunaJagan]

Hey, Devyn! Do you have any plans to make a build with any a620i? I think it would be nice (especially ASRock's a620i Phantom Gaming, that Board seems dope!)

[@shoobadoo123]

There are modular versions of that exact power supply, btw. Would highly recommend them for a build like this

[@Thecatalyst3181]

Look´s interestin.Hope they make version for short 4070 too, that and hdplex 500w psu would be nice combination ;)

I prefer the Densium's aesthetic, but glad to see more wood front panels and people pushing the boundaries of ultra-SFF cases.

[@wanzai567]

Looks dope. Would like to build this. Which CPU would you recommend for max work performance (code compilation) rather than gaming?

[@austinmaiden4663]

Case looks very similar to mine (densium 4+ v2), but is even smaller. Might upgrade to this case when the low profile 5060 releases, assuming it's decent for price/efficiency

[@Noir1234]

Nice build, but i would use the BD790i from Minisforum, should be run cooler and has also more power.

[@NukaOrQuantum...]

I don't need a PC this small, but I REALLY want one. I can make the desk real estate excuse, but I have plenty of room for a mid-tower.

If you can custom the cables to the perfect length, it would be perfect :D

[@peronium_]

[@MarkoMood]

I would love to see a 4080 or a 4090 in this form factor. You'd think the most efficient GPUs would be the most appropriate for small form factor. The 4060 is at the bottom of efficiency in the series.

[@M4rio21]

It would probably cost $2K or something ridiculous. Cool idea though.

[@MarkoMood]

@@M4rio21 For sure it'd be at a premium price, since there probably wouldn't be a strong demand for power limited high-end components. But damn, imagining a tiny power limited 4090 that still gives you over double the performance of this 4060 while also being cooler because of the larger die size, paired with a power limited 7800x3d/7950x really tingles my brain for some reason. We seem to forget the higher end the components are in these tiny builds, the less power and heat is generated for the same performance.

[@netnomad47]

4080 or 4090 wouldn't fit, unfortunately, but the 4070 might.

[@MarkoMood]

@@netnomad47 I mean, maybe not in this specific case, but it can be just a tiny bit bigger. The smallest 4090 so far is only 3.5cm longer and 0.8cm wider, from AlphaCool. Just gotta turn it into a tiny fan version.

[@jamescowgill4039]

I would think that any GPU that could go into a laptop could be made into a low profile version.

I just found this channel, awesome content. I was planning to buy a "mini PC", but now I rather build my own. I'm just wondering if this build could handle and benefit from an AMD 7 7800. Any clue? Stay safe everyone

[@aaronbrook]

Great ad, honestly. I enjoy watching how you approach paid promotions this way. Keep it up. Case review and build were great too, but that's business as usual for you! 😀 If Gemcase is reading this, the lack of website and the need to join a Discord community is a major turnoff.

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

Gemcases is a tiny outfit based in Ukraine, so they have bigger concerns to worry about, as a result of the situation there. I, for one, appreciate how responsive they are on Discord and my C9 arrived in England within a few days of my placing the order. They listen to feedback from us early adopters and consider changes for future revisions, too. Definitely a company I don’t mind supporting.

[@devyn.johnston]

I’ve talked with Gemcase and they’re working on a website, it’s just taking some time. Discord is a good way for people to get the case before the website is officially running.

[@aaronbrook]

Amazing. Perhaps they can leverage your previous career history for a deeper collab. 😉

[@martymcintosh5026]

reminds me of the Densium 4 case

[@phara128]

I apologize in advance but i'm probably going to replicate this build part by part. amazing!

[@NoxNoctisUmbra]

im curious about a580 or 750/770 build in a small case, can you recomend?

[@Ifalvarado]

I wonder if the mini forums board will work with this? Imagine the b790i with the 16 core and ryzen

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

As far as we discuss at Discord minisforum requires more than 40mm clearance for CPU cooler.

[@alliao82]

Man I just wish they'd design one with positive pressure ventilation... I had a silverstone sg08 once and it was clean inside throughout it's life. was still huge compared with this one though

[@FirstVaultDweller]

I have a ASUS ROG STRIX B760-I GAMING WIFI motherboard and really wanna use it for this case. 6:11 Is the usb-c connection the only reason why it isn't compatible whit this case? What if i won't use the front usb-c port, does that make my motherboard compatible ?

[@RichardSanchez137]

maybe install the bridge fan plate under the fans.

[@jamesb.walker9177]

Very nice but the noise levels perhaps not optimal to have the case so close to you specially on the top of the desk that amplifies everything. The majority of the noise from the cpu fan? It would be interesting to find out how much better would the noise levels be with the 13400..

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

Through adjusting of fan curves and undervolting u can get an almost silent build. Case fans really help for this to happen.

[@acep8291]

Do you have another case that will work with this build that you can suggest?

[@eltamarindo]

Nvidia also just released the $650 16GB Low Profile RTX 2000 Ada generation card, which would fit well in this case.

[@yensteel]

Nice, the VRAM would be very helpful for a lot of developers.

[@VatchGaming]

How is it impossible if its already possible?

[@MarkPanado]

are the fans above for exhaust or intake?

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

Exhaust, they help to come in fresh air and throw away hot.

[@berkinburduroglu2406]

From what I've observed due to the events in the last two months, it seems that exclusive games released for the Xbox and PlayStation ecosystems will gradually decrease. Even Sony's games are rumored to be coming to the PC platform, indicating that consoles may shift towards PCs in the coming years. These types of small form factor cases could be the consoles of the future

[@GuyFromDoom]

Where can I buy this case

[@mantorras7752]

Build looks beautiful but IMO I can't get past those cpu temps 😢

[@MarigoldAW]

One thing I feel people don't consider about SFF is the improvement in power supply's. Ideally there will eventually be a 750watt Flex sized PSU and that will really revolutionize SFF systems imo.

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

No need, 600W is more than enough for anything you can physically fit in a SFF case. I actually run this build with the exact same case and mobo and a 7800X3D CPU with a 250W sustained power fanless GaN PSU from HDPlex. It’s plenty of power for this spec, even under full load stress testing.

[@_TrueDesire_]

​@little_fluffy_clouds 250 barely covers intels i7-i9, not to mention a powerful 200W+ class gpu. No less than 650-750W imo so it will last.

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

@@_TrueDesire_as I said,600W FlexATX and 500W HDPlex GaN PSUs are available to buy today and that’s more than enough to power any tiny SFF build. If you want to shove a 14900K and a 4090 into a small case, you’ll need a bigger chassis to physically fit that graphics card, something like an NR200P, at which point you may install a 850W SFX PSU. That should cover all bases.

[@_TrueDesire_]

@little_fluffy_clouds I ended up with a Jonsbo D30, around 26L. Tossed in my SFX-L 1000W and enjoy myself a quite PSU, fan barely turns on 😁👍🏻

[@txdieselkid]

Are there any makers out there making prebuilt systems like this?

[@Bobbylopezcreative]

What was the total price of the system?

[@LuciaGTAVI665]

This video cured my OCD

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

This is exactly the PC I have built two weeks ago, except mine has the 7800X3D and the 250W HDPlex GaN PSU. Same C9 case, same Asus motherboard. It’s possible to run the 7800X3D with this Noctua cooler if you tune the curves down and set lower power and temp limits in the BIOS.

[@itsmrBaka]

what position did you orient the fans?

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

case fans is placed for exhaust

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

This is the kind of thing I’m looking to build, but I’m not looking to need the space for a LP gpu, but would rather have the room for a bit more cup cooler. Case recommendations are always welcome! 😂

Would be great to see build in htpc case.

[@Gemcases-qe3ih]

[@antohabm]

What about to use i9-14900t instead of AMD 5 7600 or i5-13400?

[@RobloxianX]

So what makes this special compared to the Velka 3, being only 3.9L?

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

The fact that it has room for two cooling fans, has better build quality and is easier to build in as you don’t have to disassemble the whole thing

[@areeb_ac]
