>> There are basically no small form factor 2400G systems and this have better graphics.

I've got a 2400G and have designed a very small form factor case specifically to house a Gigabyte AB350N Gaming WiFi ITX motherboard. It's so small the CPU fan and shroud will protrude through the top and will double as a case fan. I am just getting my new 3D printer setup and hope to print this thing this weekend. It's 195mm by 190mm by 60mm high, plus rubber feet to provide clearance for the vents which are on the bottom. It will be reasonably easy to relocate the CPU fan hole for different boards - it's position is 2 parameters in CAD. I'll try to post pics and CAD files someplace when the design is fully printed and finalized. Or perhaps make it available on Shapeways? There is opportunity to shrink it more in the future, but I went for 30mm radius curves on the front and haven't shaved every mm off the height.

Running Fedora Rawhide, there are some issues still but it's amazing when it boots properly. Plays Video on my 4K TV while barely making a sound or heating up.

I'd be interested in the CAD or STL files if you decide to post them.

I meant like the ZOTAC ZBOX MA551 which has been basically vaporware for the last 9 months showing up at consumer show every 3 or 4 months. NUC like package.

Yeah, I wanted the ZBOX too. Gave up and decided to roll my own. If the big names won't support AMD with SFF I will.

I was debating a similar setup with a Skyreach 4 mini sff case, but building your own case sounds interesting. Would love to see yours when finished.

I used a more off the shelf approach, but the result is likely similar in performance and goal: https://imgur.com/a/Nm607lo

Case is an M350 itx case, and using a pico psu.

There should be more, smaller Ryzen APU systems, they really are amazing. Looking forward to physical releases of their v1000 series SoC's.
