In-Win BM648 Mini-ITX Case question

Alistair · 13 May 2009 at 13:45

Looking at the pictures it always seems to be upright, can it be used on its side?

Looking to build an HTPC with this & a zotac but would look daft under the TV in the upright position

TIA

It's got rubber 'feet' on the side and on the bottom as far as I know, so that would indicate it's built for operation on it's side as well.

Thanks, thats just what I was looking to confirm

Yeah it ships with the feet detached, and there are spaces on both the side and the bottom where you can stick them on wherever you want

Been trying to decide between this one & the sg05. Prefer this one so i can use a std dvd drive. My only concern was a HD compatible soundcard in low profile. However, there is a xonar slim coming out soon that would probably fit

Have read all the threads containing the BM648 case and wanted to know if everyone else's came with a 2 pin power plug? Did the internal PSU work ok if you swap it with a standard 3 pin power lead from another PC or are people using a 2 to 3 pin travel adapter with theirs?

Mine did, was unexpected, I just used a mains lead from another computer and it worked fine and after contacting OcUK, they sent me a normal mains lead which also works fine.

Cheers BYTEr.
What cpu cooler are people using that best fits with using 5.25" and those with a slimline laptop DVD drive - intel low profile or third party?
