am i allowed to post this?
May give some big inspiration (I love the cd drive placement, and the whole shelf idea.)

No windows on either of those lian-li cases? A V354B could be modded with a kinda side window, allways seems a shame with all the good work that goes into watercooling these tiny cases, and you cant see it 99% of the time

Rich dont do it !!! im only just moving away from my Matx set up after a T07, a change sounds good but the small cases are a nightmare to put any kind of water in, you will be limiting your overclock and i think that would just drive you mad after a bit.

Did the whole SFF thing in a V351B and it did have a certain novelty value, for a while. The heat build up as a result of crap ventilation made it loud and making basic changes became a bore and a chore. SFF cases are a nightmare to work in and limit your choices of hardware. In the end it just become frustrating. Then came the 800D. Bliss.
Interested to see how this build turns out.

Should be interesting, Im looking at something similar for Uni next year
Quick question: Thought that the H55 chipset was generally unsuitable for higher overclocks with i5? Or does that only apply to certain boards?
Correct, you have to be careful. Or just not care what you blow up lolz.

+1 , did a v351b build aswell, was fun at first...then the problems, heat, kinks, airflow etc. Really do hope you can pull of a SFF watercooled 480 build, its a hellva lot more work than any atx watercooling project imo though.
Soldato
So what kind of limits do the H55 chipsets have?
Soldato
Heat isnt it?
when i was building, i didnt go h55 plainly due to cpu socket layout (but water would solve this), pushing a 32nm CPU to a 4ghz oc wont stress the mobo as much as an i7 would, which is where the boards cant cope with the heat.
That why dfi released a bios locking down the overclocking capabilties for i7's, people could get 4ghz + easily, its just a case of when(not if) the board will melt.

Are you selling your TJ07 and the rest of your old gear?
If you decide to sell the old gear, then make sure you send a signed photo of one of your modelling shots. It'll double the price.

Most people disagree since they never move their computer around.

Well the H55N has a TDP of 85W so using a 95w i7 and overclocking it yields a good chance of blowing the board.
