I'm going to build a ITX enclosure so I want to hear what you think about the layout.
are there anyone who have tried pci extension cables? i have read that the performance hit is small, but that there may be possible stability problems?

 

the case will be 11x28x19cm=5,9L allmost half silverstone sg05 and 1/6 the bitfenix Prodigy :)

thank you!

It looks really interesting, and I hope you eventually make a build log of it, however it looks like there would be two potential problems with it. The first is that it looks like you wouldn't really have any room to have the power supply cables, and there doesn't seem to be a spot to put a hard drive of any kind. Besides that, it looks pretty good.

Looks nice to me. I wonder how the cooling would be if you go the air route.

i dont belive you can make a true ITX build with anything but aircooling .. watercooling is just not space efficient the closest i have gotten to a space efficient watercooled itx design is #1 ATX psu and 65 mm 280 rad and ddc pump but it is alot bigger (27cmx32cmx16cm=13.8L) then what im planing to do with this build..

Thank you for the konstruktiv criticism! :)

I belive i have two options A: mount ssds underneath the motherboard by moving the motherboard up by a few mm or b: mount ssd next to the graphic card like #2 and #3

i belive i can neglect the lack off room for cabels by adjusting the length og the cabels fx. the 24-pin and 8-pin can be realy short, and I can cut i hole in the side of my PSU and run GPU power very shoty to(#4)
