I've been following this thread and watching it for a while. I've also been on the fence about wanting to buy it, but with those pics I'm 300% sold. Great job guys!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121597 Has a full-size DisplayPort and a decent selection of other features. Could put that in an M350 for a really small box that can even VESA mount to the back of the monitor. It has Gbit LAN and eSATA and all that. You're probably...

Star Wars has 6, soon to be 9 movies, an animated series, a cartoon series, TONs of fan-made videos, endless numbers of comic books, and tons of novels. Not to mention quite a few (at least 20-30) entire video games. It certainly is not just 6 movies.

It has the same pattern on the sides that twist under the mounting plate as a Kuhler 620, so you could just get something like this.

I think he meant that he didn't ever want something like that hanging off of his computer, and it looks much cleaner as a permanent slot. I vote for the slot, also, count me in for one.

Sorry, meant to say 300W only, fixed.

The white version (300W PSU only :( ) just went up on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163225

I'd go for white.

Well, there is this, but it's only available in Japan as of now. There were some people who were selling the low profile 6850 from this company on eBay though, so it might be available soon that way.

I'd jump if it didn't say COD on it, :p

I don't know where that Finnish review got its information from, but the 600w PSU in the SG08 has always been good, and reliable, from what I gather. No need to replace it.

Only thing I don't like about this case is how the graphics card will be stifled into the floor of the case. Other, than that, nice build!

Could try a real watercooling build with a 670 full cover + cpu block + a thick 120mm rad. It'd even let you keep the optical drive. But I also do agree that I'd like to see aftermarket air coolers like this from more manufacturers.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't think it was really designed as an HTPC case...

Yeah, it's mostly just preference, unless you're going to run a 690, which you'd need the 07 for.

Could fit all that in an SG05, which would save about 70 dollars. Also, for the SG07, you still need a slim optical drive.

Could also move down to an SG05/6 to save some more money there. Both of these would require a slim optical drive though.

Pretty much: no.

16 is the lowered speed that the processor runs when at a lower load, and 34 is when it is under load. These are stock multipliers. When overclocked, the multiplier is unlocked, hence the K, and can go well beyond 34.

Don't know how you figure that, since people can fit 10" cards in there no problem, with a radiator.

It will fit easily. You can put one 2.5 inch drive under the radiator, and one on the side, like this.

Yeah, lol. How'd you guess? :p

I have a friend who is looking to buy a new computer, and I talked him out of buying a premade, and offered my help to build it with him. So, here are the obligatory questions about what he wants it for: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming...

It's back up.

I'm not him, but these two are the go-to high end Z77 mATX boards currently, with a little over $20 (including shipping) separating them: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128551 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131830 Since you're only using...

No, I meant Rapid Start, I thought you had to install the memory sized partition on a Rapid Storage cached drive. If it works on a boot drive, I'll probably buy the Asus and do that.

I thought you had to use your SSD as a cache for your hard drive to use RST, you can do it if you partition your boot drive?

He used a PWM splitter cable like this: http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=2&cid=11&id=31

A 3.5 and a 2.5. Not really sure if I'd be up to ghetto zip-tying it to the PSU, but I might be able to make screw holes in the PSU cover and screw it in that way.

I suppose it's down to FT03-Mini vs SG05 for me now... the FT03 would be less of a hassle with the drives, but the SG05 is much smaller.

Good to know. By looking at pictures, the Asus's USB3 header is in a better location, but for $50 more, and according to MissJ, very little performance increase, is it really worth it? I'm thinking yes, simply because its not that big of a deal to me, and I like Asus more, lol. Still though, the...

Ah, alright. Post pics if you give it a shot!

How'd it go trying to fit the 3.5" in the USB3 case?

D: That sucks, I always love your pics :p

That nickel all you had left after buying all this awesomeness? :p

It will be plenty sufficient.

It would be fine, but for $10 more, you might as well get the 450 to future-proof yourself. These PSUs have been known to work at wattages above their rating and are really solid. If you really need to save money, then yes, you'd do fine with the 300w.

Silverstone generally has pretty good power supplies. This one in particular is really good.
