The SFF Case Gallery And Specs Thread
- Thread starter Bundles
- Start date
Finally finished my cheapo HTPC the other small machine I posted a few pages back is an ITX way more powerful and compact but this one allows me to use some of my spare parts I had lying around including a 5.25 bluray player and other bits.
Used for HD Movies and general usage net. office etc...
X-Case Q4 HTPC chassis
Athlon Dual Core X2
ATI HD5450 PCIe Graphics Card
2 GB DDR2 5300
AS Rock N68SC
Samsung Bluray Drive
500GB Sata Hard Drive
400W mATX PSU - 7v fan mod (silent)
120mm Sharkoon Case Fan 7v fan mod (silent)
Scythe Shuriken B CPU cooler
Installed the Scythe today - massive improvement in temp and noise. It now runs almost silently, you can just hear the air moving through the case nothing else.

Great case, have one currently running as a TVBox. An Idea for you, add a quiet 80 mm fan on the right of the case by the ramsinks and make it pull air from the outside. Doing this lowered the temps on mine by about 6'c and it isn't even a fast fan.

Gigabyte h55n

That does look rather 'cute'!
What case is it though... I though at first it was an Antec ISK110, but now I am not so sure!

My little Prodigy - GPU still to come though, Looks a bit bare without it!!
New Lian Li PC-Q02 build - Man is it quiet!
Intel i3-3220 3.1GHz
2x4GB DDR1600 Crucial Ballistix
Gigabyte H77N-WIFI
OCZ 120GB Solid SSD
I modded the Slimline Alu faceplate for the drive bay to fit on the bezel of the DVD drive. Push the bezel on the right and it works smoothly while looking very tidy if I may say so myself. (Real pity Lian Li couldn't design it to work like this themselves)
