Those SLI cables make my eyes hurt.. (not that it could have been done another way)

 

[Daiyus]

I like it. I approached my first mITX build this year and loved it. The only thing missing for me in this SLI build is an optical drive.

Aoutch!

 

[Dawelio]

I really like it to be honest... Obviously it's not perfect. But hey, then again, is there a case on the market that is?...

 

[Kleptobot]

If I finally get the 4th and 5th axis going on my cnc I wonder if I could make one...

The chasis itself

The chassis itself cost a lot more to manufacture than the $3500CAD that was used to purchase the PCs internal components.

That's the point right there....

Yeah, no micro chassis is ever perfect. It's always a compromise and a challenge, that's kind of why people like it.

Yeah but it's a good kind of hurt!!!

optical drive?

I seriously haven't used an optical drive since 2011.
There is literally no need.
plus they are yuuuuge

The only thing I would have done differently is make the chassis an inch or 2 deeper to fit an AIO water cooling unit. Radiator behind those 3 front intake fans

Could have done it a lot better.

2 x GTX 1080 Ti
Single slot brackets and waterblocks.
Cards next to each other so taking the space of one air cooled card.
SLI bridges a lot easier to do.
Rest of space freed up for extra rads.

Or of course he could have done the sensible thing and used a bigger case.

Well it depends on usage. My PCs are always glorified HTPCs so optical drives aren't an option, they're a necessity. How else am I going to play my hundreds of DVDs, BDs and rip CDs to the quality I want?

I've yet to find a streaming service with my collection that'll deliver with the same quality consistently. Besides, a slim optical drive is 12.7 mm thick. Hardly a problem to slip in somewhere.

Alas time travel was not available at the time of his build
And I think you know the sensible option isn't always the most fun!

Agreed. I'm on 'allegedly' first world internet but it's rubbish.
My mate works in IT and sold all his CD's back in about 2003 after converting them all to .mp3 format. Of course the quality and bitrate that was amazing back then is absolute poo now. His loss.

It's just as well he didn't go with the 7700k, I dread to think about how the heat issues would of played out in something like this.
