Anyone know of any watercooled sff mods? as I'm considering a sff rig instead of my huge storm sniper.
also do you guys think it would be better to just sell my motherboard and get a matx/itx board with the same cpu? or upgrade to sandy bridge and get an i5 2500k + matx/itx board?
 
Theres some in the The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread, got these two from the last page:

Here's my ITX build, it's not the tidiest build ever, won't be round much longer though.

Form Factor: Mini-ITX
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 3.00GHz
RAM: OCZ Gold 4GB DDR2 800MHz
HDD(s): OCZ Agility 30GB SSD + Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
GFX: Zotac GTS250

Modded to "fit" a Corsair H-50. I had to cut a hole in the front, for the GPU as it was longer than reference, which I didn't realise! Still this was my first build, a few years ago and I learnt a lot - including better cable management ;) Just thought I'd share it.

(sorry the pictures aren't the best!)








edit: you could get a mini itx 1156 board, not sure if youd keep the high overclock though. obviously a i5 2500/k will be faster, but whether its better depends if you need the extra speed.
