Amazon has it going in and out of stock...might as well order. Cheaper than anywhere else. http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Aluminum-Mini-ITX-Certified-SG08B/dp/B006L6ZHEG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337719864&sr=8-1

It pretty much engulfs the entire thing. Makes routing cables a real pain in the ass.

Mount the top mounting plate as far in the other direction of the VRMs as possible. You still get a tiny bit of rubbing but it clears. And also when it's screwed down, the notches in the VRM heatsink fit nicely with the bridge. Also, there is a capacitor near the PCI Express that kind of gets...

Hopefully it's not that bad, everything is running fine.

Fixed it. Put slightly less pressure on it and insulated any possible metal on metal points. Weirdest problem I've ever encountered building a computer so far.

At 1.32V? Doesn't seem too likely. This is bizarre...I made another thread...it might just be the AXP-140.

So a few days ago I had the AXP-140 installed and working fine, but then I was stress testing it and it shut off. It would still turn on but it wouldn't boot. I took everything out of the case, and put the intel stock cooler on for easier access and it turns out it works. Today I replaced it...

So I was running at 4.5GHz at around 1.32V and Prime95 had been running for about an hour and then I get a shutoff. Everything turns on but I get no video and the computer doesn't boot. I tried the rear CMOS button, the jumper, and taking out the battery but still the same thing. Anyone know...

For those with an AXP-140 and fan, do you have it set up so that the fan is blowing up into the PSU or the PSU facing up and the fan facing down?

Honestly not a problem in an SG05. GPU doesn't move around at all.

There are two screws that you have to screw down. There's one that's near the I/O and one that's near the RAM. The one near the I/O is relatively easy to tighten but if you have taller RAM you have to install the RAM before you install the heatsink because there isn't enough space to install the...

Yes a GPU fits with a couple of mm to spare. Angle of picture makes it seem like it doesn't fit but it does. I'll take some better pics with my DSLR later, but here you go.

I'll take some more later when my low-profile sticks get in; this is the only one I have atm...not very useful sorry.

Ditto. Also using an AXP-140. It's a pain in the ass to mount if you don't have low profile RAM sticks though.

I cannot mount my AXP-140 well with my Ripjaws X since I have to install the Ripjaws X before the AXP-140. Takes a lot of effort and time. I went ahead and ordered a set of that samsung low profile so that I can put in RAM after mounting it. Right now I have it mounted, but temps are pretty bad...

When it comes back in stock, use code mtmk99 on neweggbusiness to take 15% off. You can use this on the Asrock to get it for $135 shipped. I don't know if it'll get back in stock in time, but it would be $170+shipping.

Just appeared on newegg today.

No need for that nice of a board if you aren't going to be overclocking.

Too bad neweggbusiness 10% code is dead. Was able to apply it on the Asrock.

Did you just dremel it a bit?

If it's not too big of a hassle, would you mind posting pictures?

I have an AXP-140 and Z77E-ITX waiting for me at home...but it won't be until May 7th until I can say anything about it...

Yeah I saw this too...hope the AXP-140 backplate will fit.

I thought so too, but realized they are two separate companies. Asrock boards are quite nice nowadays.

I would say that this board is more feature-full than previous boards. The Zotac Z68 ITX boards were very expensive and didn't overclock all that well. For what you're getting (6+2 phase, wifi, etc.) this is a pretty reasonable price at release.

Looking at past Zotac boards it's probably going to be more expensive than the Asrock and probably up there with the ASUS.

Strange, ALC892 isn't too bad. Hopefully the Z77 version is better, it has an ALC 898.

That Wifi Chip on the back looks like it's going to conflict with an AXP-140 backplate...

Ah sorry, I meant I bought the Lian-Li for $169. I haven't owned the TJ07. I've seen it in person though and the aluminum is thicker. Don't get me wrong, the Lian-Li is a great case, but don't pay $300 for it. Also, the Lian-Li is great for air cooling, while the TJ07 is more of a water cooling...

Not badly priced.

Try an AXP-140.

They are all the same case but different fronts. One variant of the sg07 has a window for the graphics card.

I owned one and loved it. It is a very large case and solidly built; though I wouldn't say as solidly as some of their past cases. The front of the case has a removable aluminum trim that's very thick. As for the side panels, they flex if you put some pressure on them; otherwise they are very...

Most side panels are made of steel. Some, like Lian-Lis and some Silverstones are aluminum. It's just the front panels that are usually plastic.

SG07/08....don't know how you would be able to fit a small sound card into a board that only has one expansion slot for the graphics card. And the most you could probably go is with a wireless chip on the board and wireless peripherals. No idea about your battery pack idea, or if that's even...

Alright, great thanks! Also, the AXP-140 is $61 bucks with free shipping at ncix if anyone else is interested!

Sorry, i5-2500k, probably overclocked to 4.5Ghz at around 1.33V. The AXP-140 RT I already bought for around $60+slim fan...but can still cancel. I think the samuel 17 would be around $50 and I already have a fan.

So I did some research and found that the AXP-140 only fits in the SG05 with a 120x20mm fan. Would it be better to use the AXP-140 with the slim fan, or would a Samuel 17 with regular fan cool better? Thanks!

I've decided to hold off on my purchase and wait for the Z77 ITX boards. Thanks for your recommendations though! I now have a better idea of what will fit. I realize that I can take the heatspreaders off of my RAM.
