HP Pavillion Slimline case for HTPC

threedee · 15 Aug 2012 at 13:42

Found a nice case in my junkyard of a garage.
Its an HP pavillion series s5000, formerly home to s5650uk innards(e8500).
I remember that some cables are not up to standard, psu is TFX (175x85x70mm, 220w).

Anyone ever tried to get anything recent into this case ?
I'm still considering i3+8gb+HD6670.

You won't fit a HD6670 into that case- it will only take half-height graphics cards.

EDIT: I take it back, you can get a 6670 in half height.

I know, that's why i put 6670 and not something better

As far as i know this card can be run off a 300w psu. My main soncern is if mounting holes conform to uATX and if i can fit a standard board in...

Well a uATX board has 4 PCI(e) slots, and that case only has rear panel for 2, which isn't a good sign...

I only need one, for graphics. the pcie-x16 is right where panel openings are.

The original board is 244x244mm.
