Big Things Do Come in Small Packages

[mineutsystems]

Hi Guys,

Just finished my 2011 Mini Itx build with the concept of trying to shoehorn some high performance parts into the smallest case that would sit comfortably. I have always like SFF builds since its more of a challenge to find parts to play nice without making big sacrifices. Anyways, enjoy

So much power in a tiny rig

Awesome

Very nice! Nice and tidy too for such a small case. I expect with the 590 stock cooler temps are quite managable.

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. I build small systems like this on the side but, I just enjoy building systems in general

Was thinking of getting a Cubitek Mini Tank. What do you guys think? Should provide better airflow for GTX 590.

I looked at the Mini Tank as an option for a portable beast of a rig when I get some monies, but decided I personally didn't like the aesthetics so much and changed my mind.

That said, layout is decent with good airflow I reckon. It's deffo NOT a cheap case though, so you'd have to really want it.
