Hi All.
This is my second Project build thread, i have another one ongoing which is for one of my clients. This machine is for my own personal use. This ITX build will be used as a HTPC & Gaming rig.
The reason ive gone for ITX is primarily down to the lack of space for a full size rig and setup.
I started the trial fitting the components i had today so i can make some provisions for the water cooling loop.
The case really is excellent, loads of free space for the cooling setup to be routed throughout the case and enough space to house a fair spec/sized graphics card.
