This is the log for a build I'm currently working on for a client. I'm excited to be playing with miniturized hardware and get paid for it

. It's a budget gaming/workstation build designed with aesthetics in mind.

Case: Silverstone SG05 white
CPU- Intel i5 3450
Mobo- Asrock B75M-ITX
RAM- TBD
GPU- GTX 560ti
PSU- XFX 750w non-modular
HDD- Seagate Barracuda SATA III 1 TB
Cooling- Corsair H70 with Swiftech Helix fan

OCN has picture hosting, no need for photobucket

It started with this:


Makes my mini Phantom look huge lol


Then I got these:


Mounted the fan and guard


So much room for activities... (test fit, no mobo at this point)

Christmas!

So tiny

I'm on my phone so I can't upload them directly, and since I edited the top post, it didn't import the pics. About to edit that out

any particular reason youre going for an atx 750w psu in an itx build?

 

[Phelan]

Because I already had it

. It's the PSU that was in my Red Rover build. Plus it'll be quieter.

I did a build with this case & it's a pain to fit a full length PSU in these cases with a dedicated GPU, 3.5" HDD & a Cooler Master GeminII M4.
Took some fabricating but it worked.

Deff subbed.

 

[Phelan]

Pains are gains bro

 

[Milestailsprowe]

Why use a big ATX PSU and not the silverstone ones. You dont need 700 wats for that

Another mockup, probably the last. This time with the mobo installed. I'll add some standoffs to put a little more breathing room between the PSU and HDD and I'll secure the HDD in place as well. The rad won't fit with the fan in front, so it's mounted on the backside as an exhaust, since the Helix fans perform better in push. I also flipped the fan in the PSU so it will be an intake. These may change once I get the rig together and tested, though either way may not be a big deal, since this won't be overclocked.
