- Opinions on my new extreme intel build? (with pictures!) -

Akagi · 15 Sep 2012 at 19:11

I recently came into some money so i thought i would replace my 2500k rig with a socket 478 monster in a stylish mini-ITX size enclosure!

The beast from the outside:

Here you can see the chassis' fantastic cooling properties! It has two high efficiency, high airflow vents for maximum air movement!

The goodies! Notice the great cable management features that this case has to offer, as well as the ATI 'flex' graphics card which litterally flexes in the slot! The RAM has been stealthed under some snazzy wires, and the HDD is angled in a position that ensures optimal performance!

The PSU is also very good for cooking bacon on, and if you leave the PC powered on with the top panel closed for a few minutes, it becomes a conveniently sized hand warmer! Perfect for gaming in cold weather!

You can cook me on that thing?

If that's what you want, then sure!

I can also cook anyone at Battlefield 3 online on this beaut! Nobody out there gets frames as high as I can get on this machine, so I have an instant advantage

Totally serious

over 9000 frames per second, while cooking bacon at the same time.

Sorry, we are currently out of stock, however we are expecting some more to come in stock in a few months when my shoes wear out. For some reason the stock levels seem to coincide with my shoe wear... I haven't figured out why yet.

At least now I know where you got the case design from

A thick layer of dust is essential for hiding all of those messy cables and providing insulation, and everyone knows that a cosy PC is a happy PC :rolleyes:

Actually I meant your case being less dustier

Yeah the lack of dust certainly is a problem

I have to collect it from around the house and pad the heatsinks with it manually :rolleyes:

you could build a little catbed on top of it

Hmm, perhaps

So the cats can enjoy the heat. But then i wouldn't be able to cook bacon or warm my hands on it

That's not an issue if he uses Heinz extreme cooling paste:

Think you need some case modding in order to cook bacon? with the side panel on

what do you mean before it catches fire..? If the PSU didnt burn constantly it would be hopeless at cooking bacon!
