    Looking for etailers that sell mini-itx

    I've looked at the PC-Q08 and compared it to the Chenbro (found that one via mini-itx.com). The Chenbro is smaller which is a huge ++ in my book, so I'm thinking of going with the Chenbro.

    Looking for etailers that sell mini-itx

    Wow, those are at least twice the price of the stuff I was looking at. Supermicro is a good brand though, unlike the Jetway or ZOTAC unknowns. Thanks for the heads up for looking in the server section. Didn't think to look there.

    Looking for etailers that sell mini-itx

    I actually prefer the lower power VIA processors because it truly is low power and passively cooled, but I'm not hard on that. I also need at least 5 SATA ports. There's like one Mini-ITX board at Newegg, which is a LGA 775 board. I know more than the few boards newegg has in this form factor...

    Looking for etailers that sell mini-itx

    Hi all, I'm building a NAS with pretty specific requirements, but I'm having huge trouble finding a site that makes it easy to drill down into motherboards/cases/etc that fit them, a la Newegg. Alas, Newegg's selection sucks for the mini-itx form factor, so I'm hoping you guys have some...

    Looking for a smaller mid tower with great cable management

    For those with the HAF 922, are the expansion card slot covers replacable? Like if I take them out, can I screw them back in? On some cases, those covers are the kind where you bend em back and forth to take em out and then you cant put them back.

    Looking for a smaller mid tower with great cable management

    Yeah, toolless doesn't matter too much to me. I always have a screwdriver on hand and it means less proprietary crap to buy. I like the Element S because it has no dumb LEDs on it and I like it's understated Lian Li like looks. My only fear is that the 5970 (an inch longer than your 5870) won't...

    Looking for a smaller mid tower with great cable management

    Hi all, long time lurker here. I'm looking for a mid tower case that is on the small and light side, but has great cable management for better airflow. The only cable management "innovation" that I've seen is cable routing holes. If there are any others, please let me know. So I'm looking for...

    mini PCIe SSD noob

    I was actually thinking about putting my swap space on there or maybe by non /home directories on there, probably /etc or /root. I guess if they're slow, putting /var or /lib on there isn't the best idea.

    mini PCIe SSD noob

    Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, but mods, please move as you wish. My Lenovo T61p has a Intel Turbo Memory card I'm not using right now because I'm using Linux, so I was thinking of taking it out and putting something else in there. The Intel Turbo Memory card fits in a mini-PCIe...

    Zotac Atom/Ion board coming.

    I've been looking at this board for a NAS/HTPC build I want to do soon, and I found pre-order info here: http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=53 I wish the version with the N330 were fanless. The included PSU on the N330 is just 90W power brick. I'm not sure how it could cope with 3x3.5"...
