The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread

Here's a few pics, probably too many, of my recent Silverstone SG02F/Llano build.
It was designed as a general purpose family PC that could do time as a HTPC if needed (hopefully it'll last 10+ years too)

Specs:
AMD Llano A8-3850 @ 2.9GHz.
MSI A75MA-G55.
1TB SATA Drive.
6GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz (1-2GB dedicated to GPU)
Corsair CX 430W.
Silverstone SG02F.

I need shorter SATA cables, luckily the extra PSU cables can be stashed up top.

Decent 80mm HDD cage fan. Far too noisy at stock though, reducing it to ~1000rpm does the job.

4 USB 3.0 ports!

The stock cooler isn't too bad, you can tone it down to 1000-1500rpm without issues.
Sustained CPU/GPU activity above 50% brings it up to a 3000rpm.

Pow! A super mutant gets one in the kisser. :cool: Gaming at 1920*1200 (with highish settings) using a IGP! :)

Compared to a SG33G5M DELUXE.

Man, I would have loved one that small, but in the interest of $$ I got a Cooler Master Elite 341 m-ATX Mini Tower Case Black & put
ASUS H61 - EPU, UEFI BIOS and Anti-Surge Protection - mATX Intel H61(B3) Micro ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1155 Motherboard (P8H61-M LX) Intel Core i3-2100 Processor 3.1GHz 3 MB Cache
1333MHz 4 Gig DIMM-DRAM NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS with 512 DDR3 memory (PCIe 1.00 x16) in it. I had the PSU, HDD, and DvD drive already.
 
My latest addition, a media PC for the Kids house. It will play most games and all 1080p Mkv's with out a problem :)

Case was from a competitor but for a desktop low profile MATX case its awesome to build on plenty of room and no sharp edges, exterior of the case is aluminium but inside is steel.

Spec
Athlon x2-240e
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H
HIS 5450 512Mb Passive low profile
Corsair CM2X2048-8500C5 (4 GB)
640Gb WD Hard drive
OcUK DVD burner
Built in PSU and IR receiver with Windows media centre compatible remote.
 
That is indeed an attractive case... I am pleased to see that you managed to remove the competitors logo from the front though! ;)

Out of interest would it take a larger, or standard, PSU do you think, as I see the one they supply is only rated at 250W!

No logo off the PSU! The logo off the case it's self does come off dead easy! I 'll be able to look at PSU latter today and post photos!

logo was only a sticker thank god was ugly as sin!

PSU mmmm the gap is not very wide, would probably be better getting an external psu and using that. Or a shuttle psu.

Thats a nice looking case, is that a full size dvd drive in it?

Also do you think you could run 2 3.5" hard drives in it with a mini ITX board?
 
A full ATX mobo will fit with some mods

Stand offs
Backplate if needing PCI ports
SFX PSU will fit but it sits higher up and on the board, sits physicly on the PCI slots, a small rubber/insulation sheet advised

GFX you can use a PCI-E cable to run the card horizontal

MATX allows a full ATX PSU
That i would make it draw air from the bottom of case so a cut out is needed and i'd filter it.

ITX allows for lots, 120x2, ATX PSU, i was able to lay out 3 3.5'' drives and 2 2.5'' and a single 5 1/4''
