Looking really good.that gpu really is snug.
and 450W is enough to run the 780, and the CPU.
if you want i can do some folding and see exactly how much my 780 and i7 pull when at full load.
How much ram are you going to use.
and i really like this idea, perfect for something i was asked to build, but more as a desktop pc style but with a bit of kick.
The only thing id suggest is that metal piece you are fabricating id coat it in a non conductive paint or even vinyls to prevent shorting.
I am using the AX860i so the results are from corsair link the CPU temps read the same as other software unlike before so use these as an estimate till i go into work tomorrow and ill get a plug in wattage reader.
i have literally screen dumped them and saved them so sorry about the wide pics
just idle
i added this to show you it was on full load
The pic you wanted
Hope this helps but this is also a platinum efficiency PSU so if you are getting a bronze you might need to add around 30W.
yeah i know your pain, i work in a shop and we sell a few PSU's i tend to advise people to go towards 500w PSU's for the economy for what they have along with the fact its cheaper for them and also why get more than you need most people are running simple kits anyway just 500W is the lowest i have by a decent brand lol
and i only have an 860 as it was on offer, and i hopefully when monies not to tight be getting a second 780, along with a custom water cooling kit.
But for ease of use id go for the 450W as its good power wise, and to top it off if anything does start to have issues its easy to swap out and replace.
And thats ok im not doing much today anywaysso i always have a look on here and see if i can help.
Would be nice if maybe someone could do wall tests for common equipment under load and idle and stuffs.
Unfortunately no, lol the only decent PSU's i recommend to all my customers are the corsair builder PSU's. All the rest ive used but would not trust.
And loving that back plate i want one for my 780 but they are a lil expensive for me atm, if i got a 770 i could of had one for free lol ...
And that smudge was probs just Isopropyl alcohol or something to clean it.
Looking good!![]()
Thats fair enough,. as i said the SS PSU was the better one for the job you have in hand.
hope you can ventilate the case well.
thats the only issue i have with the little cases
The case is surprisingly well ventilated, I plan to put a fan grill in the top panel and make a 120mm to 92mm adapter with a dust filter, lots of scratch building but it should be fun! the psu will get its own compartment as usual and the gpu will be fed with fresh air from the front nb blacksilent fan.
I think you will enjoy what I have in mind

hmm I actually considered that idea for a disk drive, got an old ps2 lying around! so you think something like the alienware auora vents? there isnt much room in this case to begin with, that would be a struggle!
I have some perforated steel mesh lying around, what I plan to do is cut out the side vents and leave a border of around 5mm, then epoxy the perfed steel from behind so its clean and flush, with a large surface area for intake and outtake air on either side of the case... I will get on google sketchup and try explain that on the weekend.
I like that idea though... it might work on the sides? 5-10 small panels with levers on each all connected by a rod and a servo at one end that pushes the rod with a rotating wheel to lever the flaps to the open position.... DUMP ALL THE HEAT *pushes red button* whirrrrr whooosh
