After missing out on the A4-SFX batch this February I did some case hunting and came across the stunning Osmi case. Despite the oft mentioned difficulty of working with it, I've been quite taken with its looks. It's the best looking ITX case out there IMO.
With that said I'm thinking of the following parts list:
The Noctua NH-L9i is the recommended option for this case and is 37mm tall but wondering if any of the following will fit instead:
Tempted to also order custom length PSU cables but think I'll build the system before evaluating that.
One part which I'm taking with me from my old PC is a Crucial M500 960GB SSD. I understand the new crop of boards have M.2 SSD connectors on the back but since I need (want? a TB SSD I think I'll avoid the expense (£600 for a 1TB M.2) of additional storage for the time being.
Aiming to run Linux for work related stuff and Windows for gaming. Would also like the system to be inaudible at idle and with light use.
Will stick some pics here as the bits and pieces arrive but be great to get some feedback before hitting confirm on my order.
