I agree. Not all might have this problem but i was one. I'm using a OCZ modular 500w+ and where the cables connect, it interfere with optical's. What i did was angle the cables closer to the PSU, where it hugged the back and let them drop off directly in the middle of the window.

Wow, i dednt noe thes waas a inglesh gramer skool four da inglesh impaered?:confused:
Anywho,
Know update as of yet as i'm still debating on a few parts and trying to decide on a color scheme. In the meantime i've been building up my Thermaltake lanbox. (You can see both build up's on...
The only thing i didnt like about it was the mesh front. Other then that its a decent case. Very light compared to the Lanbox which is around 16lbs :eek:
Ill be stuffing an 8800GTX in my Lanbox. You can build a monster SFF. my list as follows
x2 5200+
Boistar T-Force 6100
8800GTX
(2) 300GB Seagate HDD
ETC..........
I like it. Im currently tying to get ultimate low temps with my WC setup in my Armor Jr. I didnt like the swiftech stuff as it wasnt giving me the kinds of temps i was looking for. I opted for a limited Edition Fluid XP Vortex Pro Copper/Alumiuim CPU, Heatkiller Chipset & GPU Copper/Aulminum...
I bet yours isnt as high as mine. Im on the phone with my Vendors (car parts) in Germany, Austria, and the UK 5 days a week. :eek:
Anyway....
Everyone has some great points *Thumbs up*
Not topic specific but i cant wait for freakin' AMD's Quadcore. :mad:
Your right too Steeeve. It took me going through 10 PSU's to get the right one to fit AND its still a tight fit. Another thing would defintely be a smaller GPU. I would rather havea big graphic card then 2 mid GC's running SLi. Question though, Whats DTX? forgive me if it sounds like a noob...
Like the topic say's. Being we dont have some of the products our big brothers have. That being said i do have 2 Tt mid cases but im a SFF'er at heart and even though we dont have much on the market but im confident we will see some SFF gaming products. I see alot of people wanting to get into...
Small Update:
A good friend of mine in Germany got me a complete Heatkiller Watercooling system that is designed for tight fits and their products are top quality. My package is in the air as we speak. WOOT! Not to give away anything for the next build up but ill be using these products on the...
Thanks alot. It means alot......
I thank my friend Edger for letting me raid his warehouse for free parts. It feels great to be able to go into a warehouse and take whatever i need. His SFF rig will be on CPU mag next month. So far ive heard that he's one of the very few that had an SFF on...
Your right. I put em to see if there was room. If there's room for 2 8 series, then it shouldnt be a problem fitting (2) 7 series (which im doing). My Tt lanbox wll get one 8800, my Tt Armor Jr has one, Antec NSX 1300 will get dual 7800GT .
Space isnt to bad when your using 2 7950gt. Im working with a very tight space and still have room for dual GPU's. Hell i stuffed 2 8800GTX (very tght squeeze...) with a little placement of some fans It will work.
just wait. when im done, my SFF's will rival the best built ATX. MuAaHaHa :D
I agree Steeeeve.
And yes 20% is alot when talking millions. Ive been reading TONS of reviews on the web and everyone is amazed that these companies are making the kind of features they are in mATX mobo's. Being said, im no expert in the business but i believe these companies are testing the...
Im a [H]ardcore SFF guy but i do have 3 mid cases (all Thermaltake) but im confident that this will be our year as these companies are taking notice to us SFF guys. Im looking forward to this year
I dont know if your into modding but anything can be modded to fit. My Antec NSX 1300 barely could fit 1 HDD but after some serious surgery i got 2 Seagate 300GB.
Also who says you cant have a killer MATX? As long as you can get a decent mobo that can be OC'd you can get away with stuffing...
Thanks Skott-
My delema is the optical cage is serious problem. Im thinking about building one from scratch but even so the DVD drive will still be in the way. Relocating it is another problem as there is no room with dual videocards, low rise XF-i, and a 620w OCZ PSU. shit, im still...
Another Lanbox'er i see. Not many in here have Tt Lanbox's
Also does a full XF-i card fit in a SFF cause i have one and its HUGE. defintely wont fit in my Antec SFF. I havent tried it in my Tt box yet.
Here goes my monster card
In the quest of never making up my mind i ran across a OCZ 620w modular PSU on the clearance rack at Walmart :laugh: listed a $129 got for $45. Open box policy, gotta love it.
Oh and a lil' XF-I action for the Thermaltake rig
Why im here, i thought i'd share my idea before it gets...
@ AMD Rules
I notice you have "AM2 Socket member" in yer sig. There is a AM2 club in the [H]? The reason why i ask is that AM2 is all i use. This current build up sports a AM2 socket.:D
My main goal first is to get air flowing through but this is tough with the amount of space im working with. I might have to ditch the Optical cage and build a new one.
you see here from the top that there's no room. I might have to replace this cage.....
from the side........ (kinda...
I agree with you on the NSX 1300. It sucks as far as cooling. This is why im modifying it for better flow. I like the look of it as its simple and great for those like me that are into case modding. I also have that Thermaltake Lanbox in silver and its a great case. I love it!!. I bought the...
Sure is. This is why im leaving the painting to my cousin who has a paint booth at work. He paints plastic & metal signs all day so this is right up his alley.
This is a tough question to ask as everyone has their likes and dislikes. Its hard to pinpoint what is good or not. IMHO i dont think any cases are bad. Its what you make of it. Poor airflowed cases can be modded, poorly constructed cases can be reinforced. It all depends on what the person...
Ok fella's. ive made quite a few changes in the line up. Im no longer going to use my Tt Lanbox. Couldn't see myself cutting up such a beautiful rig so i went to my friends shop and picked up a Antec NSX 1300 cube. The reason i got this one because of its simplicity. Another choice is to use a...
I know, i know. Thread is useless without pic's. To be honest, i wasn't gonna post this thread until i had pic's but i couldn't resist:D.
Just a reminder, this is not going to be an all-out gaming rig. This will rest on my night stand along with an AOC 19" monitor that will be mounted to...
Yes, the PSU isnt gonna work and i just picked up a HIPER, Type R Chrome 580W PSU
As far as budget, there isnt any. Im trying to use most of the new parts i had left over from the last build. I have about 8 brand new Vid. Cards still in the box. (2) GF 7950GTX, (2)Radeon 9550, (1) EVGA...
This will be the start of my SFF custom build up. Parts list as follows.....
Legend:
* - Parts i have
+ - Parts i need
(Pics will be up soon as i can get my Camera to work)
* Thermaltake Lanbox
* ABIT NF-M2 nView Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
