Velka 5 rev 3.0
Velka 5 rev 3.0
Overview
The Velka 5 achieves compatibility with 7x as many graphics card models as the Velka 3 with a smaller desk footprint and a mere 5.14 L volume by combining Flex ATX PSU support and vertical graphics card mounting.
The latest revision 3.0 features improved mechanical compatibility with internal display extensions, an optional stand for a direct GPU IO connection without extensions, dual 40 mm fan support, airflow improvements to all graphics cards including "flow-through" coolers, motherboard compatibility fixes, a more durable textured powdercoat, and full steel construction.
At just 5.14 L in volume, this is the smallest case with support for reference-length graphics cards. Made from thick steel panels to give each part and the complete build a solid feel.
