Added concept for 20Liter miniitx case.

With option to fit 4x 140mm rad and a singleslot watercooled RTX 3090.

Whats the transparent part?

 

Where would air cooled things go?

 

Im a bit cnfused about the 4x 140mm rads. I see 3 spots but is the 4th in the case? Then it will do little to nothing to help cooling as it will just reuse hot air

the transparent part is the space reserved for radiators and fans.

as long as you move enough air through the radiators there will still be a benefit in temperature.

1* 140mm rad will go in the bottom next to the psu, 1* 140mm rad will go in front of the mainboard and 1* 280mm rad will go in the top.

the logic in airflow is as follows: the psu will suck in fresh air through the slits in the bottom of the case and exhaust it through the rear.

the two single 140mm rads will act as a single radiator just double in thickness (they require the same amount of air) and the 280mm radiator in the top of the case will pull in air through the rear of the case and as you mentioned reuse air from the radiators in the bottom.

this config would likely only be used if both the cpu and gpu are watercooled, but an other idea is to just use the 280mm radiator to watercool the gpu and use a flat aircooler for the cpu and use the other openings for freshair. the case is wip and subject to changes.

 

i started to design it, because i wanted a potent LAN-Box, i could easily carry with me.
