The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread

[rare]

Just thought I would share with you some (not very good) photos of my in progress build.

Phenom M, with a Strider 850W Gold PSU (shortest psu, suits the case very well)
Gene Z97
512GB Crucial MX100 SSD
2TB Toshiba 7200 HDD
Dark Pro 3 (not pictured)

On Order:

i7 DC
16GB Kingston 2400

GPU: Not yet sure...

I have made some modifications to the front panel, including drilling a lot more air holes down the sides behind the meshing, and removing the bottom obstruction. I've fitted two slim fans in the top section which do not obstruct the inside of the case, and two fans at the bottom, both the top and the bottom fans draw air in to the case. All are filtered. The rear is a 140mm exhaust. I've also swapped the side panels around so the cables don't come across the case.

I fitted the board just to see how it fits, and to make sure the Dark Pro 3 fits. It does, but it is very tight, up against the hard drive panel. I could put the hard drives in the bottom, but I want the fans to bring in air.

My (my wife's ) newly rebuilt machine aka ZPM Hive Mini

Specs are:

- Corsair 250D
- Thermaltake Toughpower XT675
- MIS B85i
- Core i7 4770S @ 3.9Ghz QC
- 4GB DDR3 PC12800 (needs upgrading but haven't had any issues yet)
- XFX R290X
- Crucial C300 64GB SSD & 500GB HD

All driving 3 LG IPS231P monitors in Eyefinity.

Very happy with everything TBH. I went for the 4770S as I knew I wouldn't be overclocking (no real point with a single card in Eyefinity).

Looks good, I would suggest you put a plank of wood underneath because the PC will gain dust much faster on a carpet.

My home "work" build, use it for everything apart from gaming now. Would like to upgrade to a 3770T or 3770S when I get a few spare hundred (like that'll happen)

Intel i3 2105
Silverstone Ar04 cooler
Silverstone Pt13 case
Gigabyte H77-TN board
8GB RAM (4Gb in pics)
Intel 330 series SSD
OS Ubuntu 14.04

That is cute.

Got Around to finishing off my HTPC after my first motherboard was faulty. I wanted something minimalistic that would fit in nicely with the rest of my AV equipment.

Its primary uses will be XBMC and some gaming using a PS3 controller. I've got a full blown gaming computer upstairs so just wanted something fairly modest downstairs but still capable.

Specs are as follows:

Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.2GHz
Silverstone SST-GD07B HTPC Case
GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-GAMING 3 Intel Z97
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W
Raijintek Pallas 140mm Low Profile CPU Cooler
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 16GB (4x4GB) 2400MHz
Toshiba 4TB HDD
Toshiba 3TB HDD (from old HTPC)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD (from old HTPC)
2 x Corsair AF120 Performance Series Low Noise High Airflow- exhaust
2 x Corsair SP120 Performance Series High Pressure - intake
BitFenix Recon Internet-Connected Fan Controller
Sapphire 280X Dual-X OC
Fractal Design Silent Series 80mm Case Fan x 2 - exhaust
Asus USB-BT400
Logitech K830

Pics:

Please excuse the messy cables, the GD07 has zero cable management and I went with a non modular PSU. It doesn't seem to have increased temps which was my main worry. Everything is near enough silent and Sniper Elite 3 played perfectly at max settings with a PS3 controller.

Impressed with this little thing, only 4"x4". Running OpenELEC like a champ streaming things over wifi from my NAS, smooth as butter, cost £95 for box and £13 for RAM.

2.4GHz Dual Core Celeron Baytrail-M
2GB DDR3L 1333
120GB 2.5" Laptop HDD I had spare
.11n Wifi
Bluetooth

Works out of the box with Media Center remotes, OpenELEC has the Xbox One Media Remote already mapped, only cost me £18 as well.

Sorry for the potato pic, bad lighting and iPhone 4

Phenom M, with a Strider 850W Gold PSU (shortest psu, suits the case very well)

Ive specced a phenom build but im so limited on space the plug coming out the back means the case wont fit in the space id like.. but now i see it looks like this psu is mounted vertically(?) meaning the plug comes out of the bottom?... is that right, or am i missing somthing?!

That looks fantastic, great spec inside it too.

I always come in this thread and have a gander. I can't wait to see more builds when M.2 SSD's become a bit more mainstream and drop in price.

I know traditional SSD's are small but with SFF builds, every little bit of space helps.

I'm also surprised to see with you peeps that are using custom water loops, that the Swiftech Apogee Drive isn't more widely used. Saves on a pump with it being a bump & block combo.

Just built a mini itx with the antec ISK 600 and the case is amazing, looks great and has brilliant features. I never had a modular PSU and it could really do with one but was still able to fit all the spare cables in.
