This is insane, I've always appreciated your works getting smaller and smaller. Really liked the idea and just checked the prices on eBay desperately. btw, what happened to your website?
re the existing fan, it's not a standard sized fan header connector, from googling it appears to be a "laptop molex connector". Does that seem right to you? Do you know what part number that connector is pls?
It looks like a JST connector of some description, I think GPU fans use JST PH (2.0mm pitch) connectors, which looks about right.I need to measure it when I take the build apart for the fan voltage mod...
Here is a picture I took last time:

The most recent Dell Optiplex 7080 Micro has a PCI slot option now, except it orients the GPU facing down. This might give you about half a slot height of extra space for heatsink/fans...

thnx will measure it up when my P350 arrives on MondayIt looks like a JST connector of some description, I think GPU fans use JST PH (2.0mm pitch) connectors, which looks about right.
::EDIT:: Actually on second glance, it looks like a surface mount connector, which means it might be a JST SH (1mm pitch), but they're only rated to 1A @ 50V according to the JST connector wiki.
I'm suggesting they're probably a 4-pin PH as they're rated for up to 3A @ 100V and have 2.0mm pitch, with through-hole connectors. Given the P350's fan is rated at 1.5A that would lead me to assume they wouldn't be using a 1A-rated connector![]()

Have you thought about making a custom case for this particular build so it can also fit a dedicated PSU? A brick-less build like with your SMALL3 case but even smaller and using a 12V instead of FlexATX PSU. I'm sure you can still keep the entire build under 1.5L.
For your current setup do you use the 230w power supply from lenovo? I'm thinking about picking one up.
Thanks man. I had ordered the 230w just to be on the safe side. I saw your note about the PCI slot is limited to around 50W so I’ll be down clocking and indervolting to help with power draw.Yeah, my Tiny came with the 230W brick but I think 180W would also be sufficient...
PM incomingThis build is goals for me at the moment, though i cannot seem to find an A2000 at a reasonable price in Australia, nor can I then afford the single slot cooler mods
for now, rocking the stock P350 with T1000 quadro instead. gets the job done for me as a workstation, and i can play LoL at 250fps 4k ultra, and PUBG at 1080p low-medium at 60fps which has my only two non console games covered
I am interested in the lower noise cpu fan though, as the stock one is awfully loud!
Revo, you seem to build my dream systems all the time.
