    You might make that work well with a thin HDMI cable (think Redmere) rather than a thick DVI cable. That of course would limit you to 1080p resolution, which if you have a large high resolution monitor, kind of defeats the purpose of a very high end video card.

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    In addition to nameBrandon's reply don't forget that when you mount a 120mm radiaotor in the case it is offset to one side of the 140mm Air Penetrator, this lets some fresh air bypass the radiator and cool the rest of the components in the case. I would definately not replace the 140mm fan with...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    Remember the FT03-Mini is very simliar to a GD05 turned on end, Synomenon was asking if those studs were used on the GD05 for mounting a card reader.

    Keep us updated on the results with the new card, I'd like to use a 7850 in my setup, but am a bit worried about cooling.

    Doesn't look any worse than my snake pit/rats nest! Looks like you decided to use a full size PSU? You definately chose a chalenge for your first build! I'm using a Thermaltake AIO cooler in mine. It is identical to the Antec, and the hoses do seem more flexible than the Corsair.

    Just make sure you take the mechanical drive out of the case before you try that test! :)

    The electrical charge applied to a part while being powder coated is not going to magically stay with the part for a lifetime. The issues with RF reception and the painting issues in that other thread are from something other than the charge imparted to the case from the OEM powdercoating process.

    FT03-MINI & ATX PSU - can it be done

    I'll chime in to concur that this is going to be the key. I would also encourage you to find the highest efficiency, lowest power PSU that you can reasonably use. The PSU will restrict air flow through the case, and (depending on the fan setup) may also exhaust warm air right onto the...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    One thing I haven't mentioned about my build -- when you install the pump/heatsink on the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe MB, be prepared to modify the backplate for the pump. ASUS crammed a-lot of stuff on this board, and that extends to the back of the MB as well. There are all kinds of components in...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    Look through my posts in this thread, it isn't the 3.5" drive/bracket that prevents putting a fan on top of the radiator, it is a flange on the ODD bracket. (The ODD, one 2.5", and the 3.5" drives are all sandwiched together, with the attachement point to the case for the whole sandwich being...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    I've wondered if that would be possible (removing all air, and not using a reservoir). Did Swiftech have any advice or tricks for doing that? I'm interested in hearing about your results! 120mm radiator height-- Basically the hard constraint is that there is just a bit over 90mm/3.5" from...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    That is going to put the pump at the top and the radiator at the bottom of the loop, where would you put the reservoir? Bingo. Not only will a 140mm radiator prevent mounting the optical drive (along with the 2.5" and 3.5" sandwiched to it) it will also prevent you from mounting the other...

    Silverstone Modular 450W SFX (ST45SF-G) - Now has a product page - NextQ = When?

    You got me there :) Could you elaborate on this a bit? What crimp tool do you have, is it one that works with the modular connectos on the power supply? Do you re-use the pins on the connectors, or do you have a source for new pins?

    Fractal Design Define Mini Build

    How would you cool a 2nd card with this setup? A 3rd 620 Kuhler?!?!?

    Silverstone Modular 450W SFX (ST45SF-G) - Now has a product page - NextQ = When?

    I haven't worked with the SUGO cases, but the FT03-Mini has such a strange layout that it would greatly benefit from short, modular cables. Because of the placement of the PSU in relation to the motherboard the main power and CPU cables could be 10cm long. Other cables could be 20cm and be...
