Hi,
I recently built a HTPC in a Noah Mini-itx case but having a few cooling problems.
Specs are:
Intel E7200
Intel DG45FC mini-itx with HDMI
2GB RAM
320GB 2.5” HDD
Slot loading DVD-RW (will update to BL drive in time)
LP Freezer 7 LP
Now because of the cooler I used I had to remove the 70mm case fan so it gets a little hot, plus I don’t much like the look of the case. So I’m looking for a case with the following specs:
Small as possible (was thinking Micro-ATX as Mini-ITX doesn’t allow for much cooling)
Ability to accommodate slimline ODD & 2.5” HDD
90+W PSU
Rear or side mounted fans (my Sky+ box is going to sit on top of this so I don’t want heat rising up into it.)
I appreciate it’s going to be hard to meet those requirements, but if you would be good enough to give it a crack?
Cheers, Ryan
