Club for those with beastly mATX/ITX rigs. - Page 387

Scorpion, that's a great build. smile.gif

How's the noise level at idle? I want do something similar in a Q11, but I'm wary of fan noise from blower style cards. However, those are currently the only 670's that are 9.5" or shorter.

It is nearly silent at idle. My 670 has a noise from the fan that seems to be a defect, a ticking sound. But with the case sides on I can't hear it and its right next to me. Very quiet overall. The fan does get a tad noisy under load but I am OC'd a bunch and have a custom fan profile.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some more case recommendations. Requirements are as follows:
  • ~$100. Less is great, but there's a little wiggle room too.
  • mATX, smaller is better
  • Ideally, I want to fit around 360-480 mm of rad. So 2x240 rads, or similar. Something like a 200 mm + something works, like the in the TJ08-E.
  • Fit at least 2 hard drives, an SSD, and a fan controllers. a total of 4 drives+2 SSDs is a nice option but it probably won't happen.
  • Clean lines, I like Fractal's define series, the TJ08, the 650D (except for the window...), Lian Li, and Antec's p180.

I'm ok with a little modding for the rads (I think its necessary for any case) but I'm no expert and I want to keep the case clean looking. I know it sounds like a lot, but those are kind of my ideal things for what I want to do. I'm not really expecting to meet all of the requirements. So far I like the define mini the best, but I'm looking for suggestions. So any ideas are appreciated thumb.gif

Aside from the hard drive requirement, the SST-PS07 might meet your needs.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163192 (White)

Otherwise the Define Mini or Arc Mini are good choices, but they're pretty close to ATX size (About as large as an Antec 300).

Have a look at those, they will need a bit of modding to make it work for the rad setup you had in mind (except the Arc Mini, it should fit a 240mm + 2x 120mm rads)

Looky in my sig for Red Carbon. If you squeezed a 360 all the way to the back then you could put a 240mm on the front fans and mount the HDD's onto the side of the 240mm radiator.

Just something to think about.
Red Carbon.

Fr0st you were the guy I wanted to talk to, I read through your build log and thought you were on vacation so I figured I wouldn't bother you. I like the idea of mounting the drives on the side. I assume you're talking about the define mini, does the 360 interfere with the upper 5.25 bay? And how much room is there in the top before you hit the motherboard? The R3 doesn't have much at all, something like 30 mm if I remember.
And what do you think about removing the lower 3.5 bays and mounting a 240 in the bottom?
