Interesting stuff, my PSU will fly in, all my HDDs and SSDs... would just need to get a mini-ITX AM3 motherboard.

BUT the idea of these smaller form factor PCs is appealing to me more and more.

 

[martian_aphid]

agreed, I've recently gone mATX and don't think I can see myself going back to ATX again, in fact I quite fancy the ITX route in the future.

 

[gropingmantis]

This is much better than that ridiculous Goliath Prodigy THING that everyone jumped all over.

Much more respectable in size. Like a slightly larger SG07/08 for those that want to use more HDDs and a full size ODD.

Really surprised at the low price too. When I first saw this case I was expecting it to be retailing for much more.

 

[Doomedspeed]

That is such a nice case.

What is this "innovation rear mount"?

From pictures it just looks like the PSU is sticking out of the back. Not complaining just intrigued.

Awesome price too.

 

[sunlitsix]

Pretty much is that, seems to be an slight extension on the back to mount the PSU :

I can get this case with an i5-3450 and an ASUS m-ITX board for £269 and the rest can be used from my current PC. A powerful PC in a SFF giving it great portability which I will find incredibly useful in the next few months... time to find stuff to sell.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

That case looks brilliant for the price!

 

[Cookeh]

Finally some new stock thats likely to sell...

Nice product ace - how does this compare to the bitfenix?

 

[-Mike-]

It says 3x 3.5" - Can I put a dual 2.5-3.5 adapter in each for effectively six drives?

Thanks

Spotted this a while back, looks ideal for a build I'm doing, shame about the price vs other retailers though.

 

[RJC]

Nice case!

Tempted

I can't see it being cheaper elsewhere! Its a cracking price.

I can't see it being cheaper elsewhere! Its a cracking price.

Might want to open your eyes then!

Its almost 20% cheaper elsewhere, basically the Vat off. Hopefully OcUK can tweak the price down...

 

[skippy2421]

Very tempted to pick one of these up. What is the best cooler you can mount in this?

 

[Speed]

Good question, no info on the Coolermaster website that I can see. They have what looks like a Coolermaster GeminII M4 fitted in the images here: http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/product.php?category_id=3592&product_id=6837 and the height on that is 59mm according to: http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/product.php?product_id=6753

I'd be surprised if you could fit anything taller than that in there.

Edit: Must be going blind: "Maximum Compatibility - CPU cooler height: 65.0 mm / 2.5 inch"

 

[sunlitsix]

Nothing higher than the top of the 80mm side fan because the PSU will be directly above.

 

[Speed]

Looking @ http://www.coolermaster.co.uk/upload/product/6837/gallery/full/Elite120_12.jpg it allows some breathing room @ 59mm but not a huge amount. 65mm would really be the max what with the motherboard stand-off height etc.

 

[sunlitsix]

I would be tempted to just use stock HSF in a case like this really?! It's not like overclocking is really viable but then again I guess it depends how good the case/fan config is a shifting air out of the case.

 

[Speed]

Yeah I'll be putting an i3 in the build I'm doing so the stock HSF would be fine. Looking at the fan setup though with a decent cooler I'd say some moderate overclocking would be possible.
