hi there, am thinking of picking this up when it release (i think March/April time).

brief vid and pics here:
http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1180/1/


As far as i know there aren't any 1366 itx boards but obviously there are 1156 itx boards. In picking an i7 860/870 would this be a good choice to pair it up with the 5970 like how Silverstone have done at CES?

I currently have i7 920 in an mATX setup but thinking it would be nice to have itx as my room's very very small!

Any thoughts on this is most welcome :)

Well as the pics show they've already done it so I don't see why it would be bad to do it. Not like you'd lose any performance with it being in a smaller designed case.

That's a damn nice case 0_0
 
That's not what I'm trying to get at. I'm just thinking if there were any major performance differences between this itx route compared with what I currently have. Would be nice to have a small but very powerful gaming machine :)

I doubt there'd be any performance changes outside of the specs bought. The motherboard shouldn't throttle it at all and all the components will be the same so other than potential heat problems or not being able to overclock it as much due to heat you should see the graphics and power you want.
 
This may be my next build - a miniature gaming system with no compromise. Did you guys see the 'Air Penetrator' fan they are using when this ships? There's a fan grill than creates a vortex keeping the airflow in a tight pattern in front of the fan. There's a demo video here:

 
wow.. that was a pretty good demo there! Agree with the fans they're using, pretty sophisticated for a fan no? :P

hmm.. May release huh? might just get one.

Did anyone notice the front of the SG07 is a more acceptable looking black than the first one shown before? :P
 
Really dont know why they dont design these cases with some kind of internal watercooling, as it would be really pushing it to cool anything high end with air in that case.

Some kind of all-in-one itx watercooled case, cooling the gpu/cpu maybe even the psu., developed from the ground up with liquid in mind....ah i can deam.. :(


Edit: lol Air penetrator fan :D

Oh dear, what have they done to that front panel? Looks like one of their budget cases :(

That was my thought

Other than that it looks good, but surely its going to be noisy as anything.

And I would have my doubts about the 600w PSU being able to run a 5970 constantly with an overclocked i5 or i7 set-up. Can;t see it being very efficient either
 
Excellent, itx is the new matx.
Unfortunately I've got a perfectly good system at the moment, so downsizing to itx will have to wait. :/
