FormD T1 (Mini-ITX SFF/CNC Aluminum Shell/Boutique Small Form Factor/Fans Not Included) Review
If you've seen tiny 10-liter builds on r/sffpc that look like a machined metal block, there's a good chance it's a FormD T1.
It's a boutique, CNC-milled aluminum shell sold in small batches, built for people who want the smallest possible case around a full-size GPU rather than the cheapest one.
Boutique SFF Build
There's no mesh, no pre-installed fans, and no compromise for mass manufacturing here: solid aluminum panels are milled to close tolerances and the whole shell measures around 10.5 liters. Cooling is entirely BYO, low-profile air or a slim AIO depending on the panel configuration you order.
Comparison to Alternatives
It's a smaller, more boutique alternative to the SSUPD Meshlicious already in our catalog and the Cooler Master NR200P, trading included fans and easy availability for a tighter footprint and a machined-metal build quality.
