Just built this and tbh I like it... The fitting is precise with no engineering faults

Temperatures - installed Scythe Mini Kaze / cpu fan reduced to quiet

Temperatures overnight look much better, includes a load test just before 4am

The hard drive is under the motherboard

All the stuff was sourced off the bay and the memory from MM.

Specs

pico PSU - 120W
power brick - 60W
Memory - 1Gig ddr3
IONITX-P-E - Celeron [email protected] (faster than an atom, lower on power)
Case - LCDmod Kit C0AA-S1

Total price £130inc exc hard drive :D

Obviously I'm going to tidy up inside - New flat uv sata cables + the new Ballistix smart tracer

Cool :D. Have you got a build guide anywhere? I'm sure people would be interested in exactly how you constructed it, materials used etc.
 
Well the case itself came flat packed and is easy to build.

I'll probably put a build log up after I've done some testing and applied some mods (temps have gone up as I'm not using their supplied fan)

Will this take a 3.5in HDD or is it limited to laptop drives

It's got space for 2 x 2.5" sata drives... However I'm going to route the sata cables out of the case for a couple of 3.5" drives powered by an external brick.

I've uploaded a pic see the OP

Oh :o. Assumed it was self-built for some reason, duh me.

Easy mistake, I too considered building this from scratch for many years which never happened. Thank god for this kit :)
