Agreed with what Quantum has mentioned, an SFX makes no sense for a GPU less build since you probably wont exceed the tfx psu temp and wattage limits. Also if you are going for a gpu-less, and smaller size build. wouldn't it make sense to go for NUCs or those all in one mini PCs like what Zotac...
Haswell is gonna be released pretty soon( around june/july). They have pretty power efficient cpus, i5 and i7 that use 35w too. namely the i7 4765t and i5 4570t as seen on the haswell lineup. Better internal GPU and better ipc ratios. :)
Asrock boards definitely posts faster. Used both before and noticed the difference, Im currently using the Maximus V Gene and it is much slower compared to my previous Asrock pro3m(which is a really good entry lvl board). Advantage the Asrock has over the Asus is a msata slot for msata ssd and...
Hmmm, well to each his own, I like the Digital Storm's slim form factor. And "better PSU" is subjective.
That psu is an 80+ gold rated 500w flex psu.
The SG06 no doubt is of similar volume and can hold all those mentioned, it is a marvellous case to start with. However whats different about the...
True the comparison is odd, and yes theres give and take for both sides.
The only thing I commented on miahallen probably was tt his case req extensive modifications that retail shoppers could not do. This case allows for easy swapping of gpu, cpu, rams, hdds. His mod was nt future looking but...

Probably the most I've seen packed in a small convenient case(miahallen's wasnt all packed in it and extensive mods were done).
Nice one Necere, thanks for the clarification! anw I see the rear fan near the mb too so just to check would the asus z77-i be able to fit in with the daughterboard at the side?
Nice work, but you gotta take cabling into consideration as usual, front io placement means no ssd above psu, always give 10-20mm spacing from the mb 24pin, 4pin cpu, sata connectors. and still dn see the need for huge heatsinks in itx cases. There's space for top 2.5" and btm 2.5" though.
Maybe...
I just saw e new itx design after seeing ur replies to e rest, ooops.
Anw I saw a major flaw, tt being 2 fans tightly packed around e rear. For an itx case, tt only means u gotta have both in push config. If both is in pull, air wld be sucked out too quickly, if both are alternating(rear push...
Basically I feel since its itx where space and heat is an issue, the aio coolers are more required(since cooling in tight spacing is required. With a huge hs, no air wld flow through = fail. With airflow, it prolly means u have smwhere u cn mount a rad at). Sure u can make removable 2.5 bays to...
OH and the space beside the mb is for the HDDs, the space behind e psu is for cabling( do consider that too cos many ppl forget abt cabling, tubings and fittings(if going wc). and all those require precision too for a good fit. Honestly in itx-es, one of the main problems lie with the cables so...
I love how you all are coming up with really awesome ideas for the itx market.
Been innovative with itx and I too came up with a few ideas. If you all really wanted a compact and yet efficient, do consider my idea.
I utilized the psu here( if only more of such psus were made and refined, it is...
