Crammed itx

[Rob_the_scot]

My itx pc is not finished still waiting on ram to arrive and a new cpu cooler
But the specs are
I5 3450
64gb ssd os
120gb ssd for storage
650 watt be quiet psu
zotac gtx 660
currently using 6gb of ram but will be upgrading to 12gb at 1600mhz
Bitfenix alchemy extension cables
Lian li q06

I have no idea how Iv managed to cram all those cables and that 180mm psu in there and yes I also have my xbox 360 receiver in the case as well
Hope ye like

so you made a nice psu box?

LOL that's awesome x-). What made you decide to do that instead of getting a mATX case that would have fit that gear? True it has a neat sort of test bench look this way, but damn Lian Li cases are so expensive for what you get.

I don't like it tbh, If its going to be like that then why not just get a test bench?

@Toppy lol nah just forgot to upload the pics with its sides on

@Mgutierrez33 ah cheers for the nice comment, didn't find a single matx I liked plus I love itx board I do need to swap out the psu but I tried to recyle as much of the parts I had...as for the case I paid £40 including next day delivery always wanted a lian Li case but as you said to exspenisve.

@seamasbeathan and ilovetechno each to there own, but it is a test bench just silly me forgot to upload the pictures with the sides on

AH... well THAT'S a horse of a different color. That translates to a decent price for the case in general. I can certainly appreciate what was done with it more given that price, and really with it being open air like that you can now turn it into a pretty sick mod like that CoolerMaster test bench mod that was posted in here (too late for me to dig through the forums to find the thread, but I think it's still on the home page).

I actually used to have my old rig inside of the mATX case that Lian Li makes. The case itself provided INSANELY good temps given the quality of air flow and heat dissipation and it showed well from the outside... but good lord cable management was impossibly difficult (best to use non modular PSU's in cases like that and get 3/8" ID plastic cable coils to keep things tidy).

I personally would like to see this thing get a nice water loop going for it and get some custom work done to make it look like a proper mITX test bench mod, but that's just the hXc enthusiast in me talking x-)

that looks pretty sweet as long as not too much dust gets over everything
