Title: ITX Build
Post by: Xenolightning on March 16, 2015, 10:30:39 am

Doing an ITX Build for the olds.


Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI
Core i3 4160 3.60Ghz
Corsair 2x4GB DDR3-1600 CL9
Antec ISK600
SanDisk 128GB Ultra SSD + 120GB OCZ Agility SSD

Should be a pretty solid PC.

Just waiting for the case to arrive then. I'll poast up some pictures.

The case has an internal front mounted PSU, with a lead to the back. Makes the form longer but shorter width.

I had real trouble finding a good looking ITX case, that was decently priced. JONSBO had one, but they're out of stock in NZ.

Nice case should do the job nicely

Put it together last night, I'll post up the pics this afternoon.

The case is nice, but as you'd expect with any ITX build, there's a few cables all over the place. Would be much tidier with a modular PSU.

One thing I don't like is the inability to face the HDD's towards the front, to route the cables, minor issue.
