@kidmad
most TVs usually only have RCA input. what u can do is use ur GCs S-Video out to connect to the TV by using an S-Video-RCA cable

unless u want the bling factor on the modulation mod.....dont waste ur money on the Frozen CPU one. theyre just using female molexes. which u can actually easily get them here. UV and non UV. Jalan pasar will have the white molexes as well as the pins for them.

only thing is ur gonna need to open up and empty out the PSU and drill out the PSU case to fit the molexes in.

the only advantage i see from the Frozen CPU kit is that it has that adapter thingy to fit the molex in. downside is that it increases the overall length of the PSU. if i were to do the mod id much prefer to use other type of connectors than the typical molex and keep to the original PSU length..meaning drilling it out.

its alot more work...but a whole lot cheaper.

w00t!!! i do hope the MX6 will be out in SLS when i get my butt down to singapore in the next month or 2

but the specs pages doesnt state a removable mobo tray

u wan cheap alu case check out my case HERE... i bought it in singapore oso...

but now the Lian-Li PC-G7 is cheaper from ATE. u wan better get it fast before the CNY promo over

@E-J@1
thanks dude... time to save up

been thinking about it since the first time i saw the microfly on the first day & the first page of this thread man..... thats 6 months liao

now decided to get for my HTPC but money and time constraints is slowing the process down

@ikan
what cooler is that in the pic u posted?

i also got myself a microfly only havnt installed yet. no matx mobo. plus planning to upgrade to AM2 for the microfly.

was wondering if theres any cooler thats SILENT (and easily compatible with most mobos - havent decided on mobo yet) since ill be using the rig for torrent + HTPC. need to sleep while the thing is on in my room

if u need 1-2 unit why dont u take one weekend to go down to singapore and buy?? i did that for my headphones and my rims also got the microfly when i was in singapore for my rims..ehehehhe

if ur in KL theres a luxury bus (double decker i think) that leaves from mid valley to orchard road and price is quite alright. forgot the link for the bus company though.

once reach singapore, then quick quick go to Sim Lim Square buy the thing and take bus back the same day if u dun wanna spend money on hotels.

if u REALLY want it ull find the time man...

i did....for my headphones and my rims.. purposely drove down to buy them on 2 seperate trips

a month ago i bought my microfly for SGD$85 with psu...it was the cheapest wan i could find.

there was 1 shop selling it with option with or without psu...without PSU was SGD$69 with PSU was SGD$90 or sumthin like that.

forgot how many watts...i think 350 or 400...

shop name dont remember...location oso abit hard... coz the shop is in one of the back alleys in 2nd or 3rd floor

if im not mistaken some forumers has already cut the metal part within ur red circle off to give better clearance for their coolers...

also, ur red circle so hard to see la..make the line thicker or use more contasting colors la

y not just cut a 120mm blowhole near the processor and add a fan there?

try making the 120mm exhaust as intake by turning it around.

but make sure u isolate the hot air from the PSU. use/ make some sort of air duct to make sure the air goes the other way and not into the 120mm rear fan.

guys..i need a recommendation on what CPU Cooler to get for my Microfly case...really need one urgently. the cooler will be fitted onto a Biostar TForce 6100 motherboard (both ram slots used)

main priorities are...

1/ silent
2/ can silde out the mobo tray WITHOUT having to remove the cooler
3/ no LED
4/ able to fit the Biostar TForce 6100 (s754) motherboard without issues, with clearance over the NB Heatsink and ram slots (both ram slots will be used).

BUDGET: around 150 (can add a little bit more).

thanks in advance...

EDIT: forgot some info

yeah...i was thinking of getting one of the TT flower coolers...mainly coz i can unscrew the fan easily for cleaning if i need to....but then the LED cant sleep at night....somemore wanna remove the LED requires de-soldering....something which im NOT good at

ive checked the dimension of the 7700 against the blue orb ii. the width is smaller...which means itll be able to slide in and out of the case....BUT its 1mm taller...so dunno can fit or not...coz judging from the pic posted by ksl below, i dunno if the extra 1mm height can fit or not.... its already so close in there...the zalman 7000 confirm can fit...but would much prefer the 7700 as its bigger hence more silent.

ikan posted a pic with the 7000 and its cun la...good clearance...but ive gone through this entire thread and theres no pic of the case with a 7700

ive just finished installing my HTPC into thhe microfly....fully loaded with 2 HDDs and floppy and 2 cdroms...

DAMN THAT CASE IS SMALL!!

use the CM Realpower 450w ACLX. the cables too long...gave up on cable management man

not yet...but wanna show here oso malu la....the cables damn messy

i know....u can get it nowehere...coz the case doesnt sell in any retail stores in KL. and ksl isnt bringing in those cases anymore.

ur only options on getting the case are....

1/ go down to singapore urself to get it from SLS
2/ ask someone whos going to / is already in singapore to get one for u.

what sarcasm??? i was stating facts!!!

anywa, i bought my normal microfly @ SGD85 including PSU theres a shop selling an option without PSU @ SGD60+

if the BX6 is the one with the door..then its slightly higher by around SGD10 if i remember correctly.

worth the trouble or not, well...i bought mine while i was there...but i went to singapore for other reasons...the case was a bonus of the trip.

if ur from KL and ur going down just to buy 1 unit of that case, no. not worth it imho. but if u wanna buy 2-3 mebbe la.

was bored...had some free time and decided to take pix of muh microfly
