My current system is not overclocked. Just wondering if i will get away with my 7950 in that n case or should i look at something a bit bigger put still keeping it portable
 
Did not notice the asus board when i was looking thanks for the spot now if i go for a slightly bigger case i could keep my current cooler if it fits as it does run cool in my current setup just that motherboard i have got ant good for overclocking but do plan on getting another cpu at a later date and have the spare comp as my media server.

I could go for wc cooler i just dont trust water in my system had a bad experiance with a water cooled graphics card years ago that failed almost fried itself but managed to save it just in time.
 
Well after much debating i have gone and done a bit of an overkill for my portable pc ;)

Everythings on order all ready have the power supply and ram here in another system which i will be dismantling tonight once i get the dispatch confirmation :)

Didnt really want to go for water cooled unit on the cpu but for that size case dont think there was much options.
 
I agree about the 120mm ones everything i was looking at looked tight even that motherboard has issues with a graphics card install according to some videos i was watching so played safe so hope it works out.

Just stripped the old computer and got the components out i need just now sorting out the debian cant seem to get the onboard graphics working at the moment looks like more reading required but that`s another issue but the fileserver and twonky servers are all still up and running so not a big issue just waiting for knock on the door now :)

then i can get building :)
 
Thanks for the heads up was not expecting it to be easy to fit i know when i do jobs like these there is always something that you don`t expect but that if half the fun :)
 
All installed what a case :) had a few problems with it but all running now just love how small that case is :)
