If anybody is local as it's collection only, here's your chance on a nice Mini ITX case, all proceeds are going to charity.

I hear you, I'm just selling it for the price I paid plus eBay fees and delivery, plus they get it in a couple of days :)
Historically, they have sold on eBay for $300-400 with one or two available per month for the last few months.
If anyone is interested, I have a brand new Dan Case v2 on eBay right now. I would post it in the For Sale forum but I'm under 100 posts. Mods, sorry if this violates the terms of use, please remove if so!
This is my plan. I do not intend on using a filter on the motherboard side as I have positive air pressure. There may be a very slight amount of dust getting in over a long period time due to the pull of air from the PSU but that should just stick to the PSU filter.
A 1 piece Demciflex on the...
There is about 2-3mm blocked, if that. In all honestly, it isn't blocked at all as there is an air gap in front. I plan on cutting out the steel fan guard behind the filter in the future and replace the fan with less noisy bearings.
On another note, having just seen the M1 filters on Demciflex...
Thanks, it took a little while to countersink and check each depth but it was worth it. I like the idea that I just need 1 allen key to completely strip my case to bare (apart from removing ODD from the mounted side brackets) but also every part of my case is now aluminium or stainless.
How...
This is where we bought ours: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100pcs-Lot-12mm-mounting-Momentary-Illuminated-Black-Push-Button-Switch-Ring-LED-DHL-Free-Shipping/862820050.html
We requested samples of the black face 6V with white illumination.
I just wanted to add that I also chose to replace the feet which can be bought here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291002008929

Here are a couple more bad photo's from my build...
Thought I'd share a few mods I've made to my case so far..
1. Replaced feet with solid aluminium feet, same dimensions.
2. Replaced rear open grommets with closed.
3. Replaced every single screw to use A4 stainless 2mm hex socket head. (apart from m2 ODD screws)
4. Replaced Power/HDD button and...
Yes, I understand it is a custom shape inside. My thoughts are that it would use less volume than an SFX form factor, which leaves me to think it is technically possible for 500W+ and just a matter of cost. To the average PC enthusiast who is building a SFF PC, usually cost isn't an issue for...
Slightly off topic but on the lines of limitation of size vs. power supply output / cooling / reliability of an SFX form factor.
What about the new Mac Pro? This is a high powered machine and somehow they have managed to integrate a high power supply within.
If I wasn't a gamer and didn't need...
I intend to run a top end graphics card along with a top end cpu + overclocking. I don't think that 450w will cut the mustard unfortunately. I could probably get away with 500w but then I'll worry about capacitor aging etc
I'm not so sure it's a technical problem, but more of a cost/demand. I'm in no way educated to say it's actually possible but looking at a picopsu which gives 120w. Surely you could fit 10x those components in the volume of an SFX case?
I believe the people who want one are willing to pay...
Do you think if we all wrote an email to Silverstone asking for them to produce a 80 Plus Platinum/Titanium 600/650w SFX PSU, they'd consider it?
I'm sure there's at least 500 people from ncase buyers who would be interested?
