Heh, I'm in a similar boat.. I have the Asus 4850, and haven't been able to find a full cover block that is compatible yet.

My top three. BlackBox (drop the #, imho) Da Box Massive Overkill Mobile

Good lord man, twenty three HDDs? How much porn does one guy need? :p

Just got this board today, and damn.. I knew the specs beforehand, but I was still kinda surprised by how small m-ITX is, lol. Now I just have to try not to twitch while waiting for the rest of my components to get in.

Just got all my fittings today, and seeing how tightly they mate with that rubber o-ring in there, I don't think I'm going to bother with teflon. Plus the threads are so short it would be annoying trying not to have extra teflon hanging off the threads, heh.

Your ideas seem like they might be decent ones.. but, no offense intended, if you're talking about ATX mobos, you're not talking about SFF anymore.

If you desire very straight, clean cuts. The easiest way to get them is to use a guide. Clamp your panel to a workbench, then clamp down a 2x4 or other straight edge along the line you want to cut so that your cutting tool can just slide along the guide as it cuts. Works quite well. As for...

Note the specificity. V2. MUST be V2. The second revision that has the all metal construction. I already have one of the V3 acetal top ones, and for reasons of vanity, would like to get the V2 to replace it.

eSATA I completely understand (as long as you put it around back), but firewire? Does anything even use firewire anymore? I use to use firewire for my iPod, but even that doesn't support firewire anymore.

Call it the Lan Gear Deception, cause it looks pretty low key, but can pack a lot of hardware. Then when you get your ITX case rolled out, you can call it the Phantasm, and pretty much any of the 4 definitions would work for marketing. Though I will admit, I like the elegance of simply...

last time I bought corsair memory, I got 4x 1gb sticks, and so far, 3 of the sticks have died. been about 8 months since I bought em. But, I got em so cheap that it's not worth the cost of RMA shipping. Went in to futureshop and got some no-name brand open box special on a 2gb stick that's...

considering the drive is really only ever used during install, if the price difference after S&H is more than $20-30, I'll just stick with the sony from NCIX (which I can go to the store to pick up, thus bypassing shipping).

I have a 8800GT in one system, and a 4850 in another system. Not going to bother replacing EITHER of em until a game comes out that I want to play, but wont run well on either.

That's basically what I was getting at. I apparently need to work on my clarity, hehe.

I'm currently using the Dark Knight edition of the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, and I quite like it. It even seems to be out-performing my beastly old coolermaster geminII (the 2x120mm version).
