This case looks lovely, and was thinking about picking one up. My build will mainly be for emulation which is based almost solely on clock-speed, as a result I'll more than likely O/C. Air flow and temp-wise is this advised on these? I did check out the no compromises build with the 8700k, I'm...

Hi all, Currently I run a desktop housed in a Fractal R3 case. I built the system about 7 years ago and run an overclocked i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz and it's never missed a beat. Motherboard-wise I'm using a P8P67-Pro and I liquid cool using a H60. For my GPU I use a small 1060 SC 6gb card. I'm given a...

This looks really interesting and pretty much what I'd be after. I'm just going to do a bit more research. I'm familiar with the board, didn't actually realised it was a thin variation, assumed it was just standard mini-itx. I'm still quite new to small builds! Out of interest what case is that?

Thanks for the advice I'm not too familiar with thin Mini ITX board, power-wise how are you powering the above with just an adapter? Do you have any recommendations for cheap thin Mini ITX boards, I'm trying to keep this a fairly low-budget build for emulation on my CRT :)

I haven't bought it yet, but I was thinking about the overclocking potential of the G3258, wheres the 4560 can't be O/C'ed as far as I'm aware. I'm actually thinking a mini-ITX m/board might be better for a wider range of cases.

Hi all, New to this site, but hopefully can get some advice. I currently use an old Dell 3010 Optiplex in conjunction with my CRT to produce resolution and refresh rate accurate game emulation for older consoles; SNES, Gamecube etc. etc. but I'm looking for something a bit more compact and a...
