I was thinking about going to an SFF since they first came out, but I've always had some questions:
First is the cooling....I am a nut for silent computing...how quiet can a gamerig built on these get? I figure I'll probably have to buy an Exos, but it's worth asking.
The next is the small-ish power supply...Just from the heat ouput figure from the CPUs today alone, you would think that at least a 400w supply would be called for...but I could be a way off here too....so has anyone had issues running 6800 ultras/X800 XTs?
Last is DIY, are there any good places to get SFF motherboards and cases, I'm a big DIY nut, so it would be a bonus if I could do this.
Thanks!
