Project named "Velociraptor", such a small and fast predator.
I started it almost 10 months ago, but have а little free time, so the work is very slow.

Hardware.
PowerColor HD7950 PCS+, i5-2500k, ECS H67H2-I (not buyed, i take her from HTPC), 2,5" HDD, mSATA SSD, etc

Power consumption
Enermax Power Supply Calculator about similar config (HD7950/i5-2500k/Green HDD/SSD/etc...):

PSU
I choose "golden" FSP AU-700 - lightweight, powerful and cold. Because in opened it can work with my config without any active cooling :

Case
Material - aluminum. ñ several variants, I chose the first :

Beginning...

cut, cut, CUT !!!

-

"Enlarge your pe... riser !"
