This thread inspired me. I'm getting a SFF build together for the front page, which will consist of a 3570K, an EVGA mITX board and a Bitfenix Prodigy. I'll post it when done of course, I just thought I'd say thanks for the inspiration.

Did EVGA release a mITX board?! When did they?

Not yet, but it's coming - linky.

I gotta say it looks cool. Might get one soon.

I'll be watching

Now THAT is what I'm talking about. That's where computing is going, and they should be making alot more ITX cases to accomodate large GPU + decent CPU cooling solution. I only use 3 drives.. optical, SSD and HDD. Along with that, a smaller PSU format should be available for up to ~700watts, which would be plenty for any single card setup.

Love that idea...

I ordered a MATX board, so I may get back on board with you guys.
I'll have to sell my cm 690 II and find a nice matx case or mod a Prodigy to fit my MVG

 

[txus.palacios]

I would love a NZXT mITX case that was similar to that premium OEM (can't remember the name).

You know, 1U PSU, compatible with watercooling (external, grommets), GPU riser card, slot-load DVD drive...

 

[ivanlabrie]

Not sure which one you're talking about...but it does sound sexy xD

 

[txus.palacios]

They haven't released a case yet, but I'd love if they did. This is the DigitalStorm Bolt, whose case I find amazing.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Very nice, except for the tacky lightning bolt logo lol
I like the Silverstone FT03 layout aswell...Perhaps I can do an inverted ATX just for fan on my cm 690 and afterwards grab a smaller case to fit the MVG. hmmm

FT03 is really cool too. Just wondering how could I get my watercooling there.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Hmmm not so sure about that...I looked into it for an air cooled build, and it rocked my socks xD
I couldn't find it in stock or reasonably priced so far.

 

[hokiealumnus]

Please excuse the size and quality. This was taken with my phone which can't resize. More will come down the road with a real camera of course.

Removed giant photo, all photos are here in the new build log.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Oh man...they did it even more cool looking than I thought they would (from previous pics at least)
Gonna have to look into it hmm.
Price?

 

[hokiealumnus]

No idea, it's not out yet. I'll know before time for the review though.

 

[ivanlabrie]

You gonna keep that? xD

 

[hokiealumnus]

Yep...my first real SFF build.

Edit - It's an ES too so I couldn't even give it away if I wanted.

 

[ivanlabrie]

Awesome! Looking forward to that...if it turns out half as good as Rhapsody in red

 

[MIAHALLEN]

Looks good Jeremy

 

[hokiealumnus]

Thanks Miah!

I deleted the giant cell phone picture to save people's bandwidth, then started a build log with photos taken with a real camera here: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=720903 . That way I'm not polluting this thread with the build.
