I’m wondering if maybe the sky bracket could be modified to work. I’m out of town right now and can’t look at mine in person,. I’ll have to take. A closer look and see if i could modify it to fit 2 3.5 inch drives. I’ll have to see if I could install a second sky bracket to the bottom to get 2...

Has anyone considered putting a media server inside an S4? I received my Skyreach this week and I'm considering transitioning my home server from a Fractal Define to a small forum factor and the Skyreach would be perfect. I think 4 x 3.5 inch hard drives could fit instead of a GPU. I would just...

Hey guys, sorry for the delay with no updates. I presented the finished build to my brother last night. His surgery is scheduled for this morning and he's currently in pre-op right now. He was really excited to get the build and I know it will make his recovery time go by a little easier. I...

Hey guys, sorry it's been a few days since my last update. It's been a busy week at work. My brother's surgery is Thursday so it's crunch time to get this build done. I've been working on the wiring tonight. Sorry I don't have much for you today, but here's a shot of the custom length 24 pin and...

This community is so awesome. With crypto currency inflating GPU prices, it's been impossible to find a 1070 for this build at a resonable price, but this community stepped up and I was able to get a beautiful Galax 1070 mini at a very reasonable price. Thanks so much to Zovc for making this...

Managed to get the CPU cable sleeved today. I think it's a bit short so I may end up redoing it, but for now I'll train the cables and see how it fits. the pictures aren't that exciting, but enjoy none the less as.

Pulled out my trusty MDPC-X sleeving tools this morning, and the first sleeve is complete. I'll wait for the GTX 1070 to arrive before I do the rest of the sleeving because I want to cut the cables to length, and I'm not sure which way I'll have to mount the DC power jack once the graphics card...

Successful test run outside of the case. I don't have the 1070 yet to test, but it's on it's way thanks to a helpful member of this forum. The only issue I ran into was the Dell 330W power brink I bought off Amazon won't power the system. I get the green LED on the power brick when I plug it...

Yes, those are the stock cables.

Thanks for all the support guys. I'm hopefully going to get 90% of the system hooked up outside the case this weekend in order to take make sure it all works before installing inside the S4 Mini. In the meantime, I received this in the mail today. Can't wait to cut those cables to length and...

Hey Guys, I'm starting a new build in an S4 Mini Classic. I'm doing this build for my brother you has always shared my passion for Gaming and PC Building. On New Years Eve he was driving home and had a seizure. He crashed his car into the guard rail on the interstate. Thankfully he was not...

Sorry I'm responding to you so late. I did modify the DC power connector slightly to get it to fit with the MSI Aero. I don't have a good picture unfortunately, but I took a dremal and sanded down part of the Power Jack PCB so that the PCB could fit under where the front bezal attaches to the...

It wasn't too bad. All the cables are custom length so there's not a lot of extra cable length to deal with. The 24 pin connection does put some pressure on the ram modules though.

Finally put the finishing touches on #510 the other day. Runs quietly and looks sexy. I love how the orange really has a subtle pop behind the black side panels.

This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for some time. I received my long awaited S4 Mini last week and it's up and running tonight. I spent a lot of time this weekend doing the custom wiring. All that's left is to wire up the power switch, which should be arriving Thursday courtesy of...
