This is nothing new or revolutionary, but I am very happy with this build, so wanted to show it off.

Silverstone Sugo SG05
Silverstone 450w SFX PSU
Intel i7 2600K
Scythe Shuriken Rev. B
Zotac Z68 ITX Wifi
PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 1GB (PCS+ edition, 8.5" long)
Crucial Ballastix Sport 2x4GB 1333Mhz DDR3
OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD
Sony slim BluRay Drive

3x LG E2351VR-BN - only one ordered so far.

Initially this was going to have an i5 2500 (pictured below) but I bought an i7 from MM on a whim.

Also was going to have a 5850 (pictured below) but that got damaged in the post (from MM) so was replaced with the 6850.

WEI 7.6, which I think is pretty tasty for an ITX box :D

After -


Drive bezel is same colour as the case, flash changes it - bezel thanks to xpcpu on MM.
 
I like having a blurray drive... also the Scythe is pretty quiet - I tried to get a H50 in there (I got one from MM with the i7)... but I couldn't see a way of doing it without modding or losing either the graphics or optical.

I'm also wanting to squeeze a 3 or 4 TB HDD in there when prices come down.
 
Exactly, is more for 3g/mobile data, but is a standard... plus I am old skool, 30 this year ;)

Temps have yet to breach 52 degrees on the i7, playing Dirt 3. It idles around 40 degrees. I've not OC'd it at all. I know I have a Z68 but that was mainly for the better SSD performance and better board in general, I have no need to OC right now.
