The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread

whats with the red rim and the blue fan, im still hoping they release a blue rim
 
So many Prodigys...not 100% sure if an ITX case the size of an mATX case counts as SFF but anyway here is mine:

Specs are:
[email protected]
Asus P8Z77-I
HD6950 with unlocked shaders and THE WORLDS WORST GRAPHICS COOLER SERIOUSLY NOBODY BUY ONE!
64GB SSD for Windows
2TB HDD for Steam (this is a gaming only pc until Steam for Linux gets really serious)

Case is a Silverstone SG08, but really its a bit big for me. Hopefully going to get a new GPU (probably a 7950) soon and downsize to an SG05 with the new modular SFX PSU from Silverstone.

The cover isnt on because of that POS GPU cooler.
Also apologies for my terrible camera.
 
Oh and for posterity's sake and to prove my devotion to tiny computers and how ridiculously massive prodigys are. This is my day to day pc:

Specs:
A10-5700
MSI FM2-A75IA-E53
16GB RAM
128GB SSD
Case is an M350 but im going to decant it into a Powercool Q6

My got I need to tidy some of that cable mess up. Could go smaller with an Intel NUC but in my eyes they are too expensive and still with a few issues that need to be ironed out, also I worry about the processor not being able to keep up with my demands.

And here is my server:

Running Mumble, IRC, Mail and FTP services. These things are surprisingly profficient at this, with a 1TB USB HDD attached.
 
Its the smallest form factor you can fit full PC power into.

Is the biggest lie I have ever heard. Silverstone SG08, or if that is too expensive for you Coolermaster Elite 120, oh and then there is the Lian-Li PC-Q18...and the Q08...And the Q06 oh and the Q25. All of which are smaller than the Prodigy but then you know just believe what you want.

Edit: Almost forgot the TU200...had a handle too.

Then there is the NZXT Vulcan. Thats a 30L mATX case which also has space for a double rad and has a handle too. Pretty well built, I had one for a while.
For reference if you include the handles the Prodigy is a 36L case.

It takes an ITX mobo only so it is a small form factor case.

Its just not small enough for all you true SSF peeps.

Dont be hating on the Prodigy, dont see you fitting a 120x3 rad loop in urs haha
 
Are you referring the mine as in the tj08? could easily be done if I stuck a itx mobo in it :) I don't hate the prodigy at all infact I love the look of it its just so big for an itx they should have made it a few cm wider and gone for matx

Yea they should.

Its sold very well though and i can see why, there are very very very good ITX boards out there now so i have seen a lot of people move from full ATX to Mini-ITX.

I am doing the move aswell
 
So much for a 3 yr upgrade, it seems to be 6 months between changing of cases right now... Here's my build revised again :)

This is what you can pack into a small package (not those massive BitFenix Prodigy's):

Intel Core i7 2600K
Thermalright AXP-140 with LP Scythe fan
Gigabyte Z77N-Wifi
ATI Sapphire HD7850
Corsair HX620
2x 4GB Kingston HyperX
1x 240GB Corsair Force GT SSD
2x 3.5" HDD
1x 5.25" Optical DVDRW

... This is what SFF gaming is about :D (no offence intended for those with Prodigy's, just too big for me... I guess about 1.5x the size before then handles are added?)

That system has some poke and I'm impressed with the AXP-140. :) I have one of those knocking around from a failed project and never thought of sticking it in my PC-Q11. So long as I still have all the bits and pieces, I wonder how my a75 FM1 motherboard would take to it...
