Crap man, Very Very nice.
Is that system going to be powerful enough for your gaming needs though? It would be very easy and cool to take to a lan party, but how useful is it going to be once you get there?

No, Flex ATX is 240 x 170mm. But a mini ITX system would spaciously fit in this case if I wanted it to...
In fact, I was thinking of selling the spare case and 92 Watt PSU in the SFF Forum because this is a bit cramped for a gaming system.

Thanks
It will mainly be used as a Game Server, but with a low Profile TNT2 32MB DDR (or GF2MX, depending on what I can find) it will easily run a very playable game of UT.
This will also make a great system for me to tote to the computer lab at college to keep myself occupied between classes. I did that with the first version and really enjoyed all the funny looks I got

hey i found an auction on ebay for a similar case that is nearly as small, just a tad pricey. Its called the Cubid 2677 and is on ebay, but the auction ends July 31st.
Its smaller than an xbox at least
Cubid 2677
A site selling it: http://www.big008.com/ProPage.asp?proid=PI160265&type=epic
Ebay Auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2041845140
Edit: How much would you sell one of those mini cases for pre sanded, but with no hardware?

iDot.com has the IDE adapter for $9
But I haven't seen the mounting bracket under $20 anywhere.
If you win the auction and you need any help getting your system built I can help you out.

The Cubid 2677 is for Mini-ITX form factor motherboards ONLY.

Thanks for the compliments everybodyGhetto Starfox said:awesome job slug! that mofo is small!! i bet it's light as heck too!
Even though it's steel it has less surface area than the plastic case I made. Empty (with ONLY the PSU inside) it weighs 5 or 6 pounds.
Edit: The Mini keyboard and mouse for this sytem arrived today! This is going to be one tote-able machine...

Here's what the inside configuration is like...
The Hard Drive fits 90 degree from the orientation of and under the 5.25" bay. IF I were to use a Micro-ATX motherboard I'd lose that space...
The otherboard in the picture isn't a working one, and I'd have to use one with an ATX connection that's not positioned under the Drive bay. Luckily my Asus A7N266-VM WILL fit like this without any huge problems.
Don't buy this kind of case expecting to fit a Micro ATX mobo and a full size CD-ROM cuz they're GOING to run into each other.

Most Socket 370 Flex ATX motherboards are 810E based and therefore can upgrade to the newest PIIIs and Celerons.

You'll need a scan convertor to do that... Here's one for $72 (really good deal)
Tbird man said:
A. IF the motherboard you get bumps into the power supply, you'll have to mount a 1U PSU to sit on-top of 2 PCI slots in order to power the thing...
B. Chop off a part from the HDD mount (which will force you to use a Slim CD-ROM and adapter bracket for holding the HDD)...

ARRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggg!
I just noticed some rust on the one I sanded down so I've going to take it to the auto-body shop next week to get a professional paint job.
And Tbird, I could pre-mod this one for you, if you want me to...
