ITX Case

CheesyPeas · 8 May 2006 at 17:52

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a case as close to the same size as the morex cubid series as possible, but with space for a pci card. Preferably 100mm tall or less, width and depth dont really matter.

Cheers in advance

EDIT: It Must either have a psu or enough space to mod in a flex-atx psu

That is a very tall order you know, as your jumping around the form factors, custom I would imagine is the only way to go although I would be pleased to be proved wrong.

Silverstone LC2.

Had a Sp1300 board in one, with 2 pci slots using a splitter.

If I had the skills, tools, and time thats the road Id take but unfortunately I have none of the above!
Ive got a couple of freeview boxes that i dont want, I might see about modding one of those although I doubt Id be able to do it well.

Can't seem to find any info on this one, do you have a link?

Cheers guys, keep the suggestions coming

The case he has mentioned is called the Lascala 02 if that helps.

Not sure why I found that so hard to find, couldnt even find their website but cheers.

thats a nice looking case, Ill see what kind of prices they are

Thanks again

Its so hard to find as very recently Ss changed the domain they use.

CheesyPeas · 9 May 2006 at 20:40

Cheers for that mate but that seems completely out of my budget

No competitor talk please!

Anyone had any experience of this case?

lozza · 9 May 2006 at 20:54

that case is a morex cubid series - i thought from your first post you didn't want one of those?

(I've been having a look but not found anything yet)

CheesyPeas · 10 May 2006 at 08:42

The newer cubid's dont have room for a pci card, that one does. That was my only objection to the others. I might just take the plunge and if I dont like it I can sell it on.

Cheers

lozza · 10 May 2006 at 10:15

That one uses a riser slot, do the newer ones not have that capability as well

CheesyPeas · 10 May 2006 at 11:40

not from what it says on that site, it states they cannot take a pci card, this is the one in that series that does

Yewen · 10 May 2006 at 11:49

Surely via a riser, most cases a lot bigger that take PCI slots use risers or half height cards.

CheesyPeas · 10 May 2006 at 19:53

if someone can verify please do, I would prefer the Cubid 3677 or 3688 but it says they cannot take a pci card.

CheesyPeas · 19 May 2006 at 17:00

Well i found one that meets all the requirements and Im happy with it. It cost £70 which I didnt want to spend on a case but I think it was worth it...

What do you think? Could I of found anything better for the cash? It has space for 1xslim optical & 1x3.5" hard drive, although with abit of thought it could fit another.

oppinions?

Yewen · 19 May 2006 at 17:03

That is the Hiper one is it not?

Yep, although it was just listed as "slimline media case /silver" so I couldnt find any info on it before I bought it.

Yewen · 19 May 2006 at 17:07

Ok case, quite a nice looker.

Bit pricey but if your willing to spend the money nothing wrong with it from a case point.

What was it like to build in?

Not too bad at all. The drive bay slides out and as long as you connect all the cables to the drives before you install the bay then its very simple.

The really good thing is that the psu has all the connectors I would need for one of the pentium boards, which Im gonna buy next month
