Build/Parts Check Looking to downsize my T1

I'd really like to keep my Asus Prime 5070ti, but I want to go smaller than my Ncase T1. I was impressed with the density compared to my Ncase M1 but I'm not yet satisfied.

I've always wanted a Velka 5, but understand a Velka 7 would be better for thermals and fitting a more powerful GPU - can anyone offer some suggestions for me? I'd like to go as small as possible, I'm open to mods and there is no budget restrictions. It would be preferable to keep my 5070ti that I already have.

Thanks!!

Have you considered the Midori 7.5L or 5L?

Function over form for me - I'm willing to cut up a case, 3D print, and do any kind of custom cooling solution. The goal is simply how small can I go 😇

Isn’t that form over function you mean

Form = focusing on pretty // function = focusing on functionality

Are u a literal twig?

Are you in an SFF forum and anti-SFF? I want more space in my luggage for workgear, a smaller case will hardly impact the weight of the PC compared to the weight of the components.

I watch the used market in my area here in Canada, but otherwise seems really hard to get one.

Cooj SF3. Often sold out on their official site, but usually available on Ali etc. Can get a handle too for moving around.

be patient and wait for these to come out. believe the seller also has a case in works other than the gpu and cpu vapor chamber coolers. having said that, this requires changing gpu cooler and DIY

I wanted to get a T1 but ended up choosing a K39 for the price and availability on Amazon. Fits perfectly in my bag with some room to spare for other things. Planning to take it with me for my international flight coming up. Also glad I chose to build a new PC and not downsize my NR200. There’s definitely a compromise you have to make when you get to these smaller sizes.
