    Hello

    Ok. Some forums do force introduction which is odd to me. Lol looked like this welcome message on the site was passive-aggressive and introduction would have been required for the editing.

    Build is starting to be pretty much complete. I added Corsair's 135 mm fan NR135P on the top of the case to get temperatures in check. At first I had some issues with the fan as it was always going full speed regardless of the PWM control from the motherboard. I disassembled the fan and found...

    As the height of the case will be limited I cut the motherboard risers as short as possible while bottom side components still had small gap under them. I removed old PCI-E power socket from the old PSU as this will be used to power the complete system. Also the 8-pin power connector for the...

    Hello all! I though you guys might appreciate my recent mini build. The project was originally posted in a non-english forum and this will be pretty much translation of the original. I wanted to build a gaming capable HTPC for living room and I wanted to build to be as small as possible...
