    Watercooled SG05 Build Log

    There's certainly nothing wrong with them other than the price :( I suppose at this point I either pay the extra 100 bucks or get crafty with a dremel. I found some interesting options for doing a bit of case hacking to make it all fit. Nowhere near as clean as yours though! ;)...

    Watercooled SG05 Build Log

    yargh! :( That's frustrating. This was the only case I found that was under 8 inches tall and still had a decent amount of room for cooling and a big gpu. Or so I thought. I guess I could get an external bluray drive but that kind of defeats the purpose.

    Watercooled SG05 Build Log

    Awesome build, looks super clean! I am looking to do a very similar build although with an ASRock Z87E and an i5 4430. I picked up a 9.5 inch long 7870 and was really hoping I could fit it in with the H60 radiator sideways and keep the optical bay. You mention it won't fit with a 10 inch, is...

    Need help with my first SFF build

    So I found the big SG05 build thread, man theres some awesome stuff going on in there. I am leaning heavily towards the H60 at this point, possibly with the noctua fan everyone likes. It seems like the H60 doesnt fit with the optical/SSD bay in its regular location? Or maybe everyone is just...

    Need help with my first SFF build

    I managed to get one ordered last night as it was going in and out of stock, whoo! That is definitely a noticable performance boost for a similar price, I appreciate the advice. I think I will probably end up with the sg05 due to my under 8 inch height requirement for my TV stand. Unless...

    Need help with my first SFF build

    Thanks for the input! Unfortunately I totally missed out on that video card deal, its out of stock now :( I don't mind spending a little bit more for better future proofing so I'll definitely consider the i5 instead. What are your thoughts on coolers? The closed loop water coolers seem popular...

    Need help with my first SFF build

    Thanks for the reply and pointing that out! I stand corrected, I must have looked at the old version. This is good news, now I just have to make sure my video card is within 10 inches. Any input on cpu/gpu?

    Need help with my first SFF build

    Hi guys, I've lurked for quite a long time but never had a reason to post until now. I've decided to jump on board with all this steam box stuff that's been going around but I would like to be able to keep upgrading it over time. I think I have put together a reasonably affordable build but I...
