    FT: New in Box T-Mobile Note 3. Looking for gaming rig. [NJ area]

    parts could suffice. i have an i7 940 and mobo/ram i could reuse. a new gpu and ssd for sure though.

    FT: New in Box T-Mobile Note 3. Looking for gaming rig. [NJ area]

    I have a brand new still in box black note 3 for tmobile. Looking to swap it for a gaming rig. Would LOVE an itx setup. Let me know what you have, going to grab a pic in a few minutes.

    bah. you're right. this is most likely the case. back to the drawing board.

    i don't want to loose the front fan, so I centered it. the airflow shouldn't be compromised much, if at all. The center wall is thin and set back 2 inches or so.

    The size of the cube is ready to adjust. If you have a longer video card, just add inches to each of the skeleton frame pieces and it all gets bigger

    yep. the skeleton will be hidden from the outside. The panels will be mounted ON the skeleton. The motherboard tray and various other interior parts will be mounted to panels that slide into the grooves on the skeleton.

    so.. played with some ODD configurations... a full size 5.25 is a tight fit. a slim fits in a few spots, but i like this the best: here is the 5.25. I moved the motherboard down a centimeter or so to make it fit up top. I'd never do this personally, but nice to know it's an option.

    I plan to rotate it and test temps at each angle before I put feet on it. As for seeing into it... The left side will be tinted, not black. I think a slim odd will fit inside where the HDD is now. I'd have to move the 3.5 or take it out all together. I'll model that tomorrow if it fits.

    here's an angle showing the height relative to the video card.

    another angle of the 120, showing depth you can use for a rad and 2nd 120mm fan if needed. the psu has the texture of an atx model, but it's sized as silverstone's sfx modular unit.

    so i was wrong. a 120mm fan will fit perfect on the front of the case. that should balance out the exhausting air from the psu. so... 120in, 2x90mm out. here is the 120mm in the front. looks like more than enough clearance for a all in one setup.

    that was one of my main concerns really. glad its obvious in the design :)

    yeah, not as small, but more practical. the cube size is limited to the length of the GPU card. in this case... 10" is small as i can realistically get. another:

    92mm heatsink all lined up with case fans. Thinking this is my best cooling option.

    Building a case, would like ANY input.

    Playing with real rendering software: im open to cooling options. The render uses two 92mm fans on the case. The gpu will have it's own intakes... so it's more or less closed from the rest of the system. The idea for the cpu is a heatsink fan combo that pushes air from front to back...

    As of now panels are planned to be black lexan, with the left side being tinted. Thanks though.

    Update! the two fans (front of case, back of case) are 92mm. I can stuff a 120mm fan in the front, but not sure if it's needed. Cable management will be cake. You can see the decent amount of room left for hard drives on the PSU side of the case. The SFX psu can pull air from outside...

    it'll be using an SFX psu, most likely the modular silverstone one rated for 450.

    Sg05 uses PSU over the hsf which is what I want to avoid first and foremost.

    This is my plan. Feet and an intake hole for the GPU. Gotta figure out an optimal filter setup.

    Building a case, would like ANY input.

    The cube is looking the most promising- it has the least con's about it. SG09 style pros: size is nice and tiny, albeit atypical. SG09 Style cons: psu cooling is far from optimal asthetically unpleasing from side. cable management ATX style pros: simplicity. looks pleasing from...

    $50 difference in cost, not total cost. Materials are most likely going to be t-slot framing and lexan.

    I made some paper models of the mobo GPU and psu... It let me see physical representations of the size of everything. If I do a cube... Its most likely going to be 10x10x10. Height will actually he 11 because it needs feet to get it off the desk. If I do the sg09 style, its possible to do...

    thanks for that. i like the axp-100, the six heatpipes seems like it would outperform the 3 that the scythe and others use.

    thanks. now comes the task of trying to find out what cooler fits the itx mobo without hitting gpu/ram... and is short enough to fit. needs to be shorter than the vga card is wide.

    Building a case, would like ANY input.

    i'm leaning toward this also. I can easily make it a perfect cube dimension-wise. The fact that the case is broken into two "halves" should give some decent cable management and whatnot. I'm a bit torn on the orientation of the PSU though... do you think i should have the fan pulling...

    What about flipping it all 180 degrees so the gpu is at the top? I haven't planned any intakes or blowholes yet, so I'm open to ideas regarding that.

    Let me start off by saying i _hate_ having the PSU over the HSF. I like to see my processor/heatsink, not hide it behind my psu. Therefore, my simple goal here is a tiny ITX gaming rig. Update: Have some decent renders done: rotated like a falcon (by request)

    ITX case with psu not over heatsink?

    ITX case with psu not over heatsink?

    I'm looking to find an ITX case that is in a tower configuraton... as in- the PSU is above or below the motherboard... not next to it. I want to avoid having the PSU over the heatsink, and use a more standard configuration like these pictures show: same here...
