Club for those with beastly mATX/ITX rigs. - Page 437

here's my current setup in push pull. how long is the gpu you're planning on using? The hd should technically fit in there, but its gonna get toasty from the heat the gpu puts out.

how did you mount your hdd's btw?

Looking at a 670, possibly EVGA 670 FTW w/ 680pcb(680's fit)(put alot of consideration into gpus already), should help to mitigate heat with its blower design. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PIC, +1 rep

The following link is in this thread and shows some pretty rough pics of what I have running.

The Corsair H50/70 use low permeability tubing, not rubber. The only Corsair water cooler that uses rubber is the H40.

How are you planning on setting up your cooler? I have a H80 in my Sugo and the tubes bent with no problems. They are pretty malleable. 

Wow, that's a tight fit.

 

That RAM stick is being pushed way too far if it's bending like that...

It does look stressed Switch one fan for a thinner one?

I'm not using the same case you are, but in my other computer that uses a small case, I'm using an H50 (my sig rig uses an H100). Although it's a fairly small case it's not as tiny as the ones you guys build. The builds like I have been seeing here over the last year have me thinking about selling my PS3 and making a HTPC. I have even bought a blu-ray burner and I actually purchased WinDVD Pro. I'm not 100% positive I want to do it yet. With a few inconveniences, I do like my PS3 as a media server. However, a PC would be able to run any movie file.

The thing that's got me thinking about it is, I was using software to copy a Blu-ray to my NAS. When I tried to play the movie, the PS3 actually checked on the 'net, recognized the audio, muted the audio and placed a white bar over the video saying that it was a copyrighted file and I shouldn't be playing it. After I paid $30 for it. Copying to my NAS for use over my network is fair use as far as I'm concerned. I can easily use a PC for this purpose without having to worry about that DRM. So, I'm studying the builds you guys do here and thinking seriously about a HTPC. I'm really interested in one with just enough power to run 1080p Blu-rays and video files from my NAS without any problems, and small enough to match my Pioneer home theater receiver. I would also like it to accommodate a closed loop water cooler as you guys have been doing so much of lately. Not ready to pull the trigger just yet though. If I do decide on it, I will have to sell my PS3 system to finance the build.
