Evga Mini-ITX

Im deffo up for one of these. I purchased a Silverstone Fortress Mini and will have to RMA it as my Titan wont fit!
 
I like the look, but air flow wise?

The GPU will be blocked from the PSU. The two fans at the top will most likely be exhaust.

Not really much air flow to the components :|, they should have some kind of front intake, and put SSD brackets on the back of the case.

The one they had on show on youtube, it was in BIOS and it was showing around 70C idle.

I wish someone would design a case like this, http://www.digitalstormonline.com/img/products/BOLT/LP-top.png apparently it's quiet and cools itself quite well due to components being kinda separated from each other (CPU/GPU).

I suppose there are fans on the bottom, but the GPU would totally block the airflow to the rest of the system. According to the FAQ, it doesn't support aftermarket AIO liquid cpu coolers either. Will be interesting to see what reviewers say.

It certainly is darn sexy though - loving the big side window.
 
I don't like it...

The idea is sound but the front/side really needed to be anodized aluminium or somethign in that vain, not shiny plastic. It makes it look cheap.

Fans on the bottom?, the PSU takes up the whole bottom of the case.

Hi,

as the case is really small there are no issues with the airflow, the two fans at the top do a good job and during our test we did not had any heat issues at the GPU,CPU or motherboard. Most of the samples you have seen on shows before have been pre-production models that have not been final inside. The Hydro model of it is not final so far, you can see it at the end of the vidoe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLsyZDEQglk if you have good ideas or think it would be usefull to change something feel free to let me know! And we will have a look to include/change it.
 
This is depending on the components you are using.
If you use dual fan graphics cards the temps of the CPU will be higher then without.
Also with the CPU it is depending if you have a good chip or not and which cooler you are using.
Exhausting graphics cards can stay without problems below 80 degree

There will be three different models of the case P/N ending -K1 -K2 -K3
K3 is the UK plug version. The MSRP at our homepage is 180 EUR
It should get available in the UK beginning next week.

The Hydro version should get available roughly at the end of the year.
Dimensiones are not 100% confirmed so far, the ground case will be the same, just the top cover will be different and roughly be 8-10 cm higher then the air version.
It will have PSU, pump, reservoir and dual radiator pre-installed.
The radiator will be the top cover.
Here you can see the Hydro version, it do look like a little bit out of proportion but in real live it is not that high like it look like.

Hmm,
What are the idle temps for both GPU/CPU?
Pricing/release date for UK?

We tested a 4770K @3,5 GHz Ambient Temp was 27 degree with a GTX 780 ACX at stock settings and the new EVGA mini ITX CPU cooler (will release soon)

with this setup we had after 1 hour 100% stress test 67 degree at the CPU and under 80 at the GPU
 
i like the look from the outside and server style psu thats clever
but build quality looks junk :(
and who wants a window when that psu has no brading :(
the insides look tragic lol :p
 
Give EVGA a chance. Their trying to get it right. The cables inside did look a little messed up, but if fine tuned this case could be killer.
