SX48P2E...thoughts?

[Skyboat]

Seen a good deal on one of these barebone chassis and thought it would be good to tide me over until I decide when/if to upgrade all my kit to a Z68 Sandybridge build.

Does anyone have any experience with one and any major problems etc.?

I'm really tempted as I can quite easily put everything from my current rig into it and sell off my old case, motherboard and PSU saving a shed load of room space in the process.

It was always overpriced compared to the Deluxe model, but I noted the reduced price too and if you dont need/want bluetooth, fingerprint reader, wireless and DDR3 support the new price represents good value in my opinion.

Just be careful on video card selection the 4 way aux power cable from PSU to motherboard is vertical IIRC on the non deluxe version and stops the fitting of a longer card without modification

I have an SSD, 2 x 1TB drives, GTX280 and 8 gig ram in mine and it still overclocks pretty well if thats of interest

Yeah I'm a bit worried my GTX 260 might not fit, but was hoping of upgrading it anyway for something shorter, as a long-term aim as I eventually want to get something like an SG06 and that 100% sure will not take my current GPU.

Thanks for the advice, will most likely order one shortly
