    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    Tony, thank you for engaging in this forum. As something positive, perhaps you could use people in this thread next time as testers - if they are the most critical voices, they are going to give you the best feedback on your products. As for me - I'm happy with my (second*) ST30SF, where the...

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    This sound sounds like the sound every Scythe Slip Stream 1200RPM 120mm Slim Case Fan I've owned has had. Scythe have sent replacements, but in the end I've given up trying to get one without it. Once in my case I don't notice the sound, so it's not bad.

    Reliable & quiet 2.5" HDD?

    I have a 500GB SSD in my SFF desktop, and as I'm not getting a NAS anytime soon need to add some extra storage, so I can copy all the files from my old computer over. I've had many 2.5" drives fail on me over the years (but only one 3.5" drive) but the SFF case will only fit a 2.5" drive...

    NUC as SFF- First impressions

    I'm a fan of the form factor, but noise concerns (and waiting for broadwell) has prevented me buying so far. Could you take the top off and mount a 120mm fan blowing down to keep it cooler? Also, are the Gigabyte Brix and Zotac boxes NUCs too, or something else?

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    It's a bit chicken and egg - you need the demand to be visibly larger to tempt the volume manufacturers, and we need better products to increase the user base. Best option is to write direct to the manufacturers asking for it - if enough of us do that any enlightened manufacturer is going to...

    Rosewill U2, Lian Li Q33, or other?

    Yes, on the rear of the motherboard. I got the windowed version so I could remove the window and use it as a vent if needed (much larger than the built-in ones) With an ATX PSU you're limited to a graphics card 170mm long.

    Rosewill U2, Lian Li Q33, or other?

    Yes, though the 3.5" drive is mounted right above the gfx, cutting down the air getting to it.

    Rosewill U2, Lian Li Q33, or other?

    You can add to your list the Raijintek Metis case, which I've been very impressed with. Better ventilation than the Jonsbo U2, but you'll need a SFX PSU to make it all fit.

    Raijintek Metis ITX [Build Log]

    Indeed :) As I had to RMA the first ST30SF I bought I'm playing it cautious with invalidating the warranty. I know shortening, but what is sleeving? I was considering using this case for my parents' new computer, and can't see them having any of these colours in their living room. I'd like a...

    Raijintek Metis ITX [Build Log]

    I bought the green windowed case after reading people’s comments about cooling, with the plan that I could take off the window, add a dust filter and mount a 120/140mm fan. Since I'm not using a tower cooler (having bought the base parts to use in a Lone Industries L2) I’ve got space...

    Thank you I was wondering how difficult it'd be do to (for the same PSU)

    Could you tell me the measurements between the window bolt-holes? I plan to fit a fan in place of the window, but calculate from a photo that the fixing holes are ~155mm apart.

    Jonsbo UMX1 build

    It's expensive enough without adding tempered glass into the equation!

    Anyone seen the green one, and able to tell me what colour it actually is? It varies a lot in the photos e.g. http://club.coneco.net/user/25981/review/142688/image/6/ Blue, gold and silver are a bit garish, silver and black standard, and red/green could be nice or could be hideous depending on...
