Built this to potentially replace my Asustor NAS:

Antec ISK-110 case
Asrock z77e-itx
4GB DDR3
i5 2500k
1x2TB 2.5" hard drive
1x64GB Crucial M4 SSD

Replacing the 2500k with an i3 3220 as its too powerful for this case. May end up getting another 2TB drive and replace the M4 with an MSATA SSD.

Pretty darn small and well specced for the size.

now THAT is what I class as SSF

I built a friend a SFF rig in one of these.

That was two years ago and im still drooling over it.

when I can get a 4tb drive in there with a primary ssd, then im going to build one :D

I only wish they had smaller GPU, like the laptop GPU boards, why can't desktop GPUs be like that? Or the PEG connector be smaller so the card doesn't need 6 inches for clearance... A case like the NES case would be awesome also...

You don't actually tell us how old your daughter is Cyanide, but I am sure that a lot of young ladies would prefer that to a black one... just saying! :)

Edit: Please ignore my question, as I have just seen (and checked out) your link to the build in the Project Log section, which I will be reading in more detail later!

So my components outgrew my case and I had enough of dremelling bits off and bolting bits on.

Decided on upgrading my case to the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX case and....my word! What a case! Looks absolutely stunning and the temps in my rig are amazing!! Added the generic red light strip for extra generic redness!!

Haha yeah, the CM130 had a tough life, was my first foray into case modding and got slightly out of hand!
It was easy enough in the end, the removable rad tray up top is brilliant for when you want to access the mobo and when cable tidying. I added a Kraken G10 to the Strix today and that wasn't too difficult to do!
Was thinking about plasti dipping the Noctua rubber bits but can't really be bothered at the moment...maybe in the future :D

Just finished upgrading my "workhorse" build. Went from a Sandy i3 2105 to an Ivy 3770s.
Full specs;
Intel core i7 3770s @3.1Ghz, Gigabyte GA-H77TN, Thin-ITX 8GB Samsung DDR3, OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD (hopefully to be swapped for somethign bigger soon), Silverstone PT13 Thin ITX case.

OS is Ubuntu 14.04 which will be reinstalled when the bigger SSD arrives.

Very happy with it, I thought it was quick and nippy before but it's just jaw dropping now. Ubuntu + i7 is such a huge win.

Maybe 16GB RAM next for no reason other than I can....
