Everyone with the V350's - aren't they noisy what with the (for example) 2 120mm fans, psu, 80mm cpu fan and 4870 fan?

geekyEd · 17 Aug 2008 at 16:51

Nope mine has that + a pump. just control your speeds and its silent.

Finally got all the bits in my lovely hoojum cubit3 working. Had a lot of trouble getting the slot loading optical drive to work in the IDE bus so spent £25 and got a 44pin -> SATA adapter shipped from italy which has solved my problems and replaced my desktops memory with some new stuff.
(Just waiting for a HD4000 card to come out that doesn't use more than 60 Watts (120 Watt PSU) and is no longer than 15cm long and single height)
Anyway here's a quicky of it now.

What you think? (should I get it sprayed black or not?)
T2600 (2.16Ghz core duo)
2 x 1GB DDR667
Commell LV 677-DC
Seagate 320GB

Wow, awesome little build. Any internal pictures?

I wouldn't get it sprayed black, looks fine as it is.

Guardsmon · 21 Aug 2008 at 14:07

I do, but its a little bit of a mess right now. I've still got to sort out the cable management, I'll try find you some pictures when I get home

Guardsmon · 25 Aug 2008 at 14:11

OK so I didn't think I was going to be overly busy in work on friday and I have more tools to pay with there so I took it into work to have a go at playing with the cables - he's what it looks like for now, hopefully in the next week sometime I can replace the insulation tape with shrink rap after I actually solder the wires together.

you can see the room down the side of the hard drive for the internal power if your mobo doesn't have it built in.

the bottom tray looks a little worped from pictures, but don't think it really is - strange

will post picture of back on when get camera out again, forgot that.

She's not finished yet, got a bunch or uv perspex going in her at some point, but, so far, so good:

Full of bubbles, minus psu, optical drive, fan controller etc etc, but:

and from the other side:

And with everything in at night time (no over exposure done here, this is exactly as it looks at night)

And closer:

Yup

But i still couldn't be bothered to wait until it's finished... changing the full cover block for a nickel plated one too now.

Things are on a go slow, because my main rig decided to go bang, and it appears to have taken most of the componants with it, so i'm trying to sort that out whilst using this SFF =(

Every Oc'ers nightmare, I can't wait to see this finished.

Freelanc3r · 2 Oct 2008 at 18:34

Just got my new SFF gaming rig

Spec:
Asus P5E-VM HDMI matx motherboard

The systems really quiet aswell.

Will post pics and edit this post later.

gt_junkie · 4 Oct 2008 at 12:55

Set up my new HTPC.

Consists of the following:

e7200 @ stock
4gb of OCZ PC6400 DDR2
Intel DG45FC "Fly Creek" ITX mobo
250gb HDD
Panasonic DVDRW slot loading drive
120w PICO PSU with a 102w power block
Hoojum Cubit 3 case

Running Vista 64.

Has onboard video with an HDMI output. Streams video and audio over this and runs 1080p with no problems at all - between 20% and 30% cpu usage.

Also idles @ around 65w, runs full load @ 90w and draws around 70-75w when playing HD material.

Here are some pics of the board and PC in place:

Very nice gt, was tempted to build one my self.

gt_junkie · 6 Oct 2008 at 20:35

Thanks RJC,

By all means try it.

TBH it's almost ashame to use it as a HTPC box as it performs like a high end desktop!

It excels at everything bar gaming!

whats the damage for all that lot? I'd love to ditch my pc for one of those and force myself onto my xbox!!

In fact you could hide one of those inside a pc chassis for a low power browser with a 2xxx pentium in it!

gt_junkie · 6 Oct 2008 at 21:34

I'd thought the same TBH - just love my main PC a little too much!

Case was 2nd hand with a 533mhz VIA eden mobo, ram, hdd and optical drive and the sata hdd was one i already had.

Cost was the following:

CPU and cooler - £60
DDR - £40ish
Case and DVD drive - £60ish
PSU and power brick - £60ish
HDD - worth about £30 i think
Mobo - £90

So £340 in all.

If it was all brand new i would imagine it would come to around £500.
