I'm definately hocking it on ebay once I get it built... The cascade venture for the u2 cost me another $700 putting me at $2000 on it, lol.

Anyone wanna a mini slim-pc? :p

OMG! nice job mate :wavey: :rollingla
 
cot damn this case is nice!

Aight so the Antec Minuet II case came in today, and it's a realy winner! The build quality is insanely good, the layout is flossin', and the paint job is off the hook. It's a gloss piano black which is nice and shiney, you can see a reflection of yourself in it :D The front panel is neatly layed out and is very sleek. The interior layout is superb and even has a removable cage for the drives. It comes preloaded with an Antec 220w PSU which I'm sure is a nice little unit for this case. Plenty of 4 pin molexs and a standard 24 pin ATX connector really set it off. The one case fan on the side is a quality fan that features a speed controller (Low, Med, High).

Here's some pix!

That is real nice Frag. Look much easier to build in than the HTPC case I had. Can you have full sized PCI cards in there?

Bet you keep it now :)
 
Just got her all built up, installing SuSe 10.0 right now :) Pix to coming shortly! I just noticed a small paint fleck on the case missing, no big deal but dissapointing. I suspect it happened during shipping since Newegg doesn't double box cases when they ship em (stoooped!!!).

I got the thing overclocked to 1980mhz (220x9) already w/o any voltage adjustments which means the cheap-o memory I got from Mushkin must be pretty decent. I remember my Corsair ValueSelect wouldnt go past like 215. Will play with i some more once Linux is done installing and see if I can't get it at 2ghz stable before I list her up for sale on eGay.
