Hi Guys,
Like many others I've been silent observer for the lat few months, slowly but surely my own build came together and then some more
I did the Dan build and it is a beauty, but this thread is not about that, it is about the next build i did, which is just damn sexy
Initially I set my eyes on a case called the K39, but it was out of stock, soon after i stumbled upon another case called M69.
I didn't find any reviews or posts about this case, but eventually put my order in, it was for that case + riser + flex PSU (will tell you about it, impressive PSU)
I chose this case mainly because of the GPU clearance, it was listed as 21 cm, and i knew the Zotac 1080TI min is also ~21 cm, so it seamed like a sure bet it would fit, and it did.
I went with bhiner as a proxy, it wasn't cheap, about 48$ shipping and handling, the total cost for the case + riser + PSU was about 83$, so all in all cost me about 130$.
Once i picked up the case, it was straight forward build, all parts sat well together, much smoother than the Dan A4 build i finished a week before.
The PSU was a gamble and it turned out to be a champ
It is a modular PSU, the cables are very flexible, though seems like they would snap if handled roughly.
It was fitted with silent Delta 4cm fan, and as far as i can tell it is 4 pin fan and can be easily replaced in the future (was planning to replace it with Noctua fan but no need for now)
The PSU is 450w, it is handling my old 90w i7 + 1080TI like a breeze.
The Build:
CPU: Xeon X3470 4c/8t @ 3.5 (Small OC)
Mobo : Gigabyte h55n-usb3 (One of two ITX motherboards that came out for this platform)
Ram : 16GB DDR3 ( 2 x 8 GB which also was a gamble since module with such capacity on this platform wasn't available back then)
GPU : Zotac 1080TI Mini (fitted with Evga bios for quite operation)
Cooling : Thermolab (Cooltek) LP53 with Noctua A9x14 Fan (although this case allow for the 25mm fan!)
Storage: Single 512GB Crucial SSD
Thermals are pretty impressive, CPU in games maxes around 78c, GPU around 71c (even with the silent Evga bios).
