ADATA XPG Presents SFF-ready VALOR NANO Case Series & INVADER X ELITE Chassis
ADATA's gaming division—XPG—has exhibited brand-new SFF-ready cases; as spin-offs from existing Valor Mesh and Valor Air product lines. So far, the Taiwanese manufacturer has released mid-tower options. At Computex 2025, company representatives presented NANO-sized offerings—in particular, a white Air demo unit was endorsed by Jensen Huang. Several XPG items were blessed with the NVIDIA chief's signature—likely coinciding with ADATA's aggressive marketing of new products being (certified) ideal fits for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards.
The Valor NANO microATX case series was developed alongside the brand's PYMCORE SFX power supply product line. As mentioned earlier today, these ultra-compact SFX PSUs can be installed at the front of XPG's freshly revealed Nano enclosures—"allowing longer GPUs to fit into SFF builds without compromising performance." A Valor Mesh Nano-based demonstration build was configured with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition card—occupying only 304 mm of a max. 370 mm length restriction.The INVADER X ELITE is a new flagship; placed above existing Invader models. This brand-new "extreme performance" ATX chassis design is available in black or white. Examples of both were presented at the ADATA booth, in gaming rig form. XPG has partnered up with AK Mod; the PC modification specialist had access to Invader X Elite enclosures and Hurricane MAG 120 mm ARGB PWM fans. Liquid-cooled builds were sat nearby to the Valor Mesh Nano demo unit. According to XPG product placards, the Invader X Elite chassis can support ASUS BTF motherboards.The XPG Starfighter model is one of ADATA's first cases built on an Exoskeleton platform. TechPowerUp encountered previous examples at CES 2025. Based on early 2025 impressions and feedback, the XPG engineering team has further refined their Starfighter IP—mainly in the areas of "assembly experience" and improved "sustainability."The XPG Valor Air Pro model is marketed as being compatible all lengths of GeForce RTX 50-series cards. Last year's "Plus" mid-tower iteration could only accommodate up to 340 mm long units.The new Pro SKU offers plenty of extra room; allowing a maximum GPU length of 400 mm.

According to their site
www.xpg.com/hr/xpg/pc-components-mesh-nano?tab=spec
the dimensions are 357 x 220 x 436 mm, which is just over 34L.
Anything over 25L is very debatable whether it should still be called SFF and more than 30L is not SFF and that's not negotiable.
This is just a compact case or a midi tower. #rant
I do like the look though.
Betta start getting your wallet ready for a $40k build, cause it's coming whether you want it or not, and it will be called.....
wait for it.....
wait for it........
The Jacket Man/nGreediya Special Edition, which will be made in quantities of 5, at least for the first 3-5 years......hahahahahahahaha :roll:
