Not sure what you mean by this. The VESA mount can be removed (see pics above). In my opinion, the newer version looks better because they removed the side fan.

Not without mangling the case. There's not enough clearance in any direction.

Added a 1TB Samsung M8 which is now the loudest component:

I just built a wifey workstation/HTPC using the ISK 110. This case definitely deserves more love. Good build quality, quiet, and easy to work with by normal case standards but ridiculously easy for an SFF case. Comes with power adapter, vertical stand, and VESA mount. Pretty inexpensive...

I'm seeing some strange behavior on this motherboard. If i stress test (with Prime95 at stock speeds/voltages w/ a 2600k), USB port (closest to PS2) will see poor performance to the point that an input device becomes unusable. If I plug in the mouse, the mouse will work intermittently; if I...

Yes. If I remember correctly it dropped it down to sub 30w draw with 4 Samsung Spinpoint F3EGs.

Fan does indeed slow down to about 1100-1200 RPM after initial power up. I only have sub-800 RPM 120mm scythe fans in my other boxes, so quiet is pretty subjective. Tried SpeedFan and MWMonitor Pro - no luck. Might just have to go with hardware swap.

Just unboxed and powered mine up. Impressed by the build quality, but this is louder than my desktop and the DIY server I'm trying to replace. The good news is that the noise seems to be primarily from the massive airflow. Is there a bios mod/setting to reduce the fan speed? Or a windows...

I've used treesize pro, but I think there's a free version as well. A little less visually overwhelming than WinDirStat.

Does the mobo come with anything? Specifically interested in sli bridge, i/o shield and usb bracket. Thank you.

You can get a genuine Microsoft (Dell rebranded) remote off ebay for 10-20 bucks. Make sure it includes the IR dongle. Works well and I replaced the remote with a Harmony One but still use the dongle. The most popular version should look like this: MCE Remote but there are some other versions...

Maybe waiting will pay off with a better fan...
