I haven't been on the site for some time now. SFX PSU's are improved, if I change the motherboard to a mini ITX board, SFX PSU can fit in the front (hopefully SFX-L also). For cooling the easiest solution would be the Asetex 545LC. The modding would be only cutting a hole on the bottom of the...

4570k + Titan with 450W SFX PSU? I would not risk it. PSU should not be run on their maximum capacity, so you should give a bit bigger PSU, so PSU can work more effective, and it wil last longer. Who buys 4570k, want to overlock it at least for 4/4,5GHz... (or why the k version?) Overlocked...

" It's really about time Lian Li gave up supporting ATX PSUs and moved completely to SFX." I would never want a mini ITX system limited with SFX PSU... Lots of people want powerfull system with mini ITX. No wonder, there are RoG motherboard, big cases, like Prodigy, Elite 120/130 soon SFX PSU...

It does not talk about size, but I guess is totally the same size, like the 120, only the facepanel is different, and the HDD cage is out (but maybe it is just a protototype, or it is just removed because the 7990) In CM Elite 120 you can also fit the 7990, I think.

Thanks for the reply! I thought this case would deserve its own topic (like other cases as well) I dont really like the new bitfenix cases but at least there are more options for mini PC builders.

There are some pics, maybe it is just a prototype yet and the final product will be different, I don't know http://www.expreview.com/26117.html http://www.cowcotland.com/news/37089/computex-2013-cooler-master-lance-elite-130-itx-gamer.html I just watched the pictures, did not translate the...

Thanks for the answer, is it getting enough air to cool the CPU down?

You need to drill to remove the HDD cage I think so. (owner will tell, I'm courius about that too) My plan would be a Corsair H60 or H80 watercooling on the front fan.

You can get rid of the cage, just you have to drill the rivets. (hopefully the front fan is on the front panel, not on the cage.) My plan is to buy a bay converter for an HDD and put an SSD on the side (or there is enough room in the converter as well). And put an H60/80 on the front fan...

This will be my first mini PC case, I watch it closely since CES, and it is almost the perfect case for my goals. (With some modding it will be perfect) http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6852 Prodig is not good for me, Lian Li ones neither. I was thinking about Shuttles too...

I don't really trust the Shuttle PSU (specially the cooling and the noise). If I can modify the Shuttle case to handle an ATX PSU, I can use lots of modular PSUs (I'm thinking about the full modular Corsair AX 650 , what is Gold certified) Lots of work to design a new backplate (or backplate...

The R5 case is the biggest Shuttle so far An ATX PSU can be fitted on the back theorically. http://imageshack.us/f/26/shuttlemitxplan.jpg/ (This plan has an mITX motherboard, Shuttle one is a bit different) To fit the PSU I have to make modifications of course. Biggest problem is to design the...

I see, I can't talk you out of it :) I need the 4slot memory so I wouldn't change the motherboard. When the planned configuration gets old, I will decide if I buy a new Shuttle, or just buy an mITX motherboard to the R5 case. Shuttle biggest advantage is, very quick to start the new PC :)...

Shuttle motherboard has 4 memory slots, and designed for the case, mITX motherboard has only two memory slots, and you will need plus cable if the system cables (power button, led etc) are not long enough. You need other cpu cooler as well because Shuttle one wont fit (cpu are in different place...

I read somewhere it is not compatible with the P series, so it wont be good for R5 either :( Shuttle should make a backpack for these cases (it seems new cases will be with R5 design for a while)

Well thanks for the suggestion, but: - not backpack, - not Shuttle - too big + the advertising girl is nice :D

Would SZ68R5/SZ77R5 fit in PF 30 backpack? They are the biggest cases so far. And the backpack is not really available :( I will find one somewhere (like in South Africa) Any thought, ideas, experience would be nice :)

External bay only have a "hole" there, it should work I guess. But I don't own one :) But it will block that part sadly... There is not enough place to put that way to let free the 3,5" pace...

I want to build my first Shuttle in August or maybe a bit later. If SZ77R5 will come out, they have one more buyer ;) If SZ68R5 will get Ivy support (I doubt) maybe I stick with it...

I like your setup, but maybe you could hide the SSD behind the front panel, like this one. It was an SG41J1 case, so I don't know the R5 front panel inside dimensions, but probably it can work as well. Crazy idea would be to put a double radiator on the upper part to watercooling the HD7970...

Shuttle has their own size motherboard, what is way longer and a bit wider than the mITX standard size (and smaller then the mATX size). New Shuttle cases (J series and the R5 series) has mITX compatibility, only problem can be the lenght of the power button (etc) cable what is not enough for...
