Powerhouse SFF project

Nice one Oxy :D

work is nearing an end now so i will finally be able to boot up the dfi in a few days, exciting times!

Only with 2gig of ram though as a backup :( untill the gskill ecos get rma'ed

comedy pictures of my gtx 280 on the dfi will be up soon though! (maybe with a fenrir sat ontop for lulz)
 
im not going to touch coolers untill i get the case. Trying to estimate maths is doing my nut in :D (and i really want to ram a 240 rad in the roof... lol) I'll put up with stock till then, as im not gonna use my pc much after all this uni work!
 
Yupyup :D i dont have a dvd drive anyway ;)

I had a roof mod made on my old v1000, oh im such a v series whore.

id preffer those kind of holes (better layout though, and i would have prefer a fully drilled roof blending in from the front, something id like on my v600 but it has stupid io connections on the roof.) rather than the roof on the stock q08 but, such is life. And the q08 should blatenly be called the mini V.
Wonder if i could mount a d5 vario in there under the drive bay too ;) ?
 
future planning im thinking a 120/128gb ssd, and a couple of 2tb hard drives.

just got the rockstar pack on steam and its 50gig, once i stick a load of tv shows/films on my pc (all on my mates atm) ill have no space!
 
esata too



just got it up and running, everythings ok except the xfi sound... it installed, but wont work :/ windows defult high def crap is sat there in its place, so the xfi software wont run etc?

(i know its only software based xfi, but i like the software :P)

having a hellish time with this...
on my 4th windows install now.
the cd drivers seem to be pointless. had to update via website. (and ive lost the damn cd anyway)

Now, the usb seems funky, IE, my iphone wont install.
I'm using usb:
mouse
keyboard


with someones a dual usb cd rom, wacom, usb stick/iphone (using all usb slots) and the cd rom/iphone seem to disconnect of their own accord.

Its like not enough power is going to them, and its fudging annoying.

I dont know what to do in terms of testing? I need my iphone, it works fine on other comuters just not mine :/

and this ******* gtx 280 squealing is doing my head in. I;m ready to swear lots and punch someone.

having a crap day today :(

i just turned pc back on and ddint need to install lan drivers again, hooray! -.-
 
got a reply from dfi...

This "known" issue is not by any means certain. If it does exist it is not necessarily board related either. That said I have heard these same rumours as well, so I will pass your comments on to our BIOS team. In the mean time I could only suggest that you ensure that your BIOS is updated to the latest version from our website, and failing that route the Iphone via a 3rd party USB controller until such time as a solution presents itself.

a third party usb controller? Eh
