Hello,
I am thinking I may as well convert my spare PC over to Matx after upping the mobo from a 650i to a G41 DDR3 board that is Matx, and its a little pointless having it in the old, horrible looking, noisy TT Kandalf.
I am thinking of buying the below, to go with the parts I already have. Note, I am not decided on the agility yet, as I do have a spare C300 that I could use, and since this is only my media centre, and my main rig cant make full use of sata 6gps (marvell controller) I think I might save myself the £100
I Already have:
MSI G41M-P25
OCZ StealthXstream 700w
POV GTX 465 bios modded to GTX 470
Q9450 or Q6600 (currently has the Q6600 in it but I Could stick in my Q9450 that ive just replaced in my main pc)
OCZ Intel Extreme XMP 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 C8 1600MHz
DVD Drive
Scyth Kaze Master Fan Controller for 4x Fans
Plan would be to stick the additional fans around the place like this:
(with the last one where the stock one goes in that corner which you cant see). Set up so that the lower two near the gpu are intake, top two extract the gpu heat out, other two on other side are both intake as well for the cpu/hdd area. Thus meaning everything gets a constant cool air supply, and overall the case is positive pressure to help against dust, although I haven't decided on any dust filters yet.
Akasa Apache on the CPU Cooler, other way to standard so it sucks up through the cpu cooler and dumps it straight into the PSU, which then extracts it out the case.
Thoughts? changes to cooling etc?
