New ITX Case on Newegg

Can hold full sized PSU and dual slot graphics card, but no forced ventilation and probably limited to around 8" on the card.

At least it is cheap.
 
Same jonsbo case is on the market as Cooltek Coolcube in Germany. I think there already was a thread around this one: here
It received various decent reviews.

Dude, this post, nor any of your other posts make any sense - being that your account is only 5 days old I'd not spam to 50 or you'll get banned pretty quick.

You needn't worry. The mods will take of this kind of stuff as they see fit.

But the case does look like a decent buy. Dual slot support (unlike Q07), small and all aluminum. The USB3.0/HD audio on the side does rub some people the wrong way (can't say that I care). But at least it does have USB3.0.

Of course it states support for only one (1) 2.5" drive w/ 3.5" hdd, but we all know an ssd can be slapped anywhere with mounting tape.

And the price seems to be on target for what it is.
 
Thermal performance looks pretty weak at that. No fans, and the CPU is blocked by the PSU. Side grill for air and bottom grill for the GPU, but that's it.
 
I just finished putting an htpc together using this case and yes the thermal design of this case is weak but as an htpc case it's barely adequate. The longest video card your going to fit in this cae is roughly 7.6" long in case anyone is wondering about that. I used spare parts aecept for the case and video card for this build

If you don't me asking, why move everything out of the SG05? Why not just use it? I believe it has better airflow than the V3.

(..and why 5GB of ram? Actually, all around your system specs seem a little odd... :confused:)
 
I have other plans for the Silverstone, I made the mistake of upgrading the bios on the ss system and now my 1055t isnot supported anymore so I'm gonna look for a cheap cpu and try to flash it back or I'll upgrade the mobo a cpu alltogether down the road. .As for the ram I had one 1gb stick and one 4gb stick so I stuck'em in there. I tried the 4gb stick by itself and it was noticeably slower. The m4a88t-i deluxe uses notebook ram unfortunately or I would of used them. Like I said it's an htpc with spare parts except for the gpu and case. The gpu was an open box special from microventer $65. I'll put the psu back in the sg05 when I get around to redoing the sugo and get a cheap psu fot the htpc..

I hope the V2 shows up in the US sometime soon. I think itd be a nice little file server; you should be able to fit 5 hard drives in there with some modification and a flex atx power supply.
