It's been awhile since my last SSF build. It was August 2012 when I moved from a ThermalTake Armor A30 to a LianLi PC-A04 (link).
The LianLi PC-A04 fixed all my issues with temps and noise due to a CrossFireX with two HD6950, it was of a beautiful and unintrusive silver brushed aluminum; it was spacious, cool, and silent. In other words... BORING!
Recently, I sold the two HD6950 and bought a Sapphire HD 7950 3GB dualX boost (wonderful card by the way) and so I did not need the double PCI-E slots anymore.
Time to go back to a m-ITX form factor.
Two things were really inviting for the build:
Most of all, I was tempted by the challenge of fitting the H220 inside the relatively small Elite 120

Two things were really inviting for the build:
- The very cheap CoolerMaster Elite 120 case ($40 from Newegg)
- The freshly produced Swiftech H220 water cooling system ($130 from SideWinder.com)
