Hi guys,

I'm thinking of building an sff system around the Lian Li case and am wondering if the nt06 passive cooler will fit into this case?

I will be using a low power AMD proccy and want to make my system as quiet as possible.

I presume there is a little more room inside these cases than the Sugo SG01 or is that not correct.

Thanks for any info..
 
Thanks for your advice guys, I will put together a mini spec/requirments tonight and hopefully you can find the time to give me some further tips on componants for my build. :)
 
Hi all, here is my spec so far. The machine is a non gaming machine and I want it to be quiet and run cool. It will have 2 x dell 22" monitors as I work from home a lot and want the extra screen for Citrix (work) while I have the other to do my own thing. Any suggestions or comments are very welcome. :)

Anything marked with a * I already own or will be reusing.

Asus M4A785D-M Pro AMD 785G looks nice, assuming your CPU socket is AM3or AM2+.

Also i think the mini ninja wont fit on AMD board.

Thanks for the advice. I am edging towards the Gigabyte GA-M85M-US2H after reading too many problems people are having with the microATX boards from Asus. I realise if you search you can usually find problems with anything but once the doubt sets in I usually try something else. :)
 
Hi guys, I may try a passive cpu cooler first, since the cpu is a low power 45w version.

Any thoughts on a modular psu apart from the one in my spec. Quiet as possible would be good. Who is the current market leader in modular quiet psu's.

Thx
 
Corsair HX520/620 would be a pretty safe bet. I've had mine for ages now, and although it cost me £100 new, it's probably the best money i've spent.

Brilliant, stable piece of kit. :)
