The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread

[sharingan_sasuk]

I was going to get the Q11 but then as I needed a dual slot for a graphics card, had to settle for the Q08 instead. Still, doesn't take up that much space on my desk and I can't imagine what it would have been like to squeeze all the PSU cables in!

It was ok once I got used to rerouting everything and took it one cable at a time. Being my first SFF build I didn't like bending wires into strange shapes but realise that's the norm lol

Oh, one thing I do dread tho is if something goes wrong and I have to remove all the cable ties etc!

ULTIMATE BARGAIN

I paid little over 100 euro for it

t7400
aopen i945gmt-vhl
2x512mb ddr2
winfast dual tuner
mcubed hfx matx acrylic + vfd display (120W psu)
150W external delta brick

 

[Guardsmon]

That is a good buy! Especially as you can rip the internals and upgrade it using the built in heatsink

My HTPC - Modded the PSU Fan to run silent and added a Scythe 120mm slimline fan and also a small 60mm air intake fan on the side both controlled by Zalman Fan Mates.

8GB Memory is overkill but it was cheap at the time

Shilz awesome little build that!

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Woah !

What case is that Shilz ?

Shilz awesome little build that!

Thanks

Woah !

What case is that Shilz ?

Its made by HEC Compucase - Model 8K01

The PSU in these are quite loud and I replaced the fan for high end sleeve bearing unit and did a 5 volt mod to slow it right down.

Yeah thanks for that.... I see it for 50 squid inc PSU which I too am not keen about.

Wish they did one without the PSU and consolidated that space

Should have modded it with a pico psu!

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Yeah I wonder if a 3.5" Drive fits in place of the PSU

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I am looking to build a pico server shortly just trying to find decent enough components!

 

[Shilz]

In the 8K01 you cant can't get a 3.5" drive but you can probably fit 2-3 2.5" drives if you manage the space and use a PICO PSU.

I need to use this PSU as i'll be using a PCI-E 16x card and needed the reliability!

Ooh nice, Nanoman. I never thought of something like that for the optical bay on my Q11. Now it has DVDRW in it, but nevertheless, certainly something to consider when I next get the 'itch'...

That dinky PSU really seems to help with cable management. It's not even modular and you can still fit the huge intake fan!

 

[gatecrasherlok]

what graphics card are you running in that nanoman

 

[Nanoman]

Thanks, still need to tidy the cabling a little bit but the smaller PSU has been easier to work with and can still provide 530w if required.

The graphics card is a 7850, about 220mm in length iirc. The short PCB GTX670s fit in this case if you wanted something with a bit more power.

 

[MatsyLR]

Very nice nanoman, nice a tidy

Just saw this on another site, Looking good CAT!,

That Scythe Kama Amp looks awesome, How much did it set you back may I ask?
