nice casing but i dislike cube type of case, cause its just doesn't look good. they either try to imitate apple's design, or they just wanna shrink everything small.

btw, i notice that this casing is portable. noticable handle on the front panel

i think this is more on the Lan party side, minus the good looks to show off and minus multiple drives unless you install a massive hard drive into it. This casing is more geared towards gamers joining tourney or lan party

These case with tight compartment, most likely suffers heat issue. todays hardcore pc components are so hot, they can cook an egg

btw, what is the display at the front of the casing

Sniper on the roof - good to have another SFF Thread. I have given up on regular ATX casings....

J-power nice casing and very similar to the Aspire Q-pack. Been looking for the Aspire Q-pack but not available in M'sia or S'pore. Won't be surpised if the J-power manufacturer is the OEM manufacturer for Aspire Q-pack. I would love to get my hands on it - any chance of bulk order??? If yes, put me down for 1 unit although I wont be upgrading my System for another 1.0 - 1.5 yrs (UT2007!!!) :-)

I like this box better than the regular SFFs like my Biostar IDEQ 200N as space is a premium and airflow is not good at all without modding. My IDEQ fried my Ti4200 graphic card within 3 months after I upgraded to IDEQ 200N from my Coolermaster casing. After I changed to Ati 9800SE o/c to 9800Pro, I have modified my IDEQ casing for added cooling. Had my IDEQ 200N since 2004.

The only problem with the J-Power/Aspire Q-pack is that there are limited motherboards on M-ATX form factor available in M'sia that supports overclocking features. Aspire Q-packs are quite popular in Europe and US market as their market supports M-ATX mobos......

its look nice indeed and some room for uprade.....when its will come to
malaysia shore ?

ahhahahaha one forumer can even bring in the silverstones, if you ask him very nicely

too bad those can only support mini ATX, there is not much support from manufacturers in the high-performance mini-atx arena, with shuttle the only one supporting SLI in ther SFF. >.< after my ideq incident, unless there is a high performance, well-designed system from other manufacturers, i guess shuttle will only release its enthusiast SFFs next year -_________-

err im referring to SFF cases in general, like the Aopen gaming cube, MATX.

dont know bout micro ATX boards though, but PSU shopping can be a biatch in malaysia if you're looking into microatx cases :headache:

I'd get a SN27P2 for my AM2 move.

But it'd be a shame to dump some fairly new parts like a Liberty and also a PC-61 that's been modded for silence.
I'm not too bothered by lack of expandability since I don't forsee myself needing a big change after this and I'm the kind of person who uses a single HDD (in the intents of lower noise and heat emissions) anyway. Hell it might even be cheaper if I could get a decent price for all the stuff I'd sell compared to if I just went out and bought a freakin expensive M2N32-SLI.

size does not matter .... but what about performance ??

i had my barebone from Shuttle last time for sc 478......

it served me well until the day i had switch to higher end graphic card....

the mobo and PSU gone after 3 months of using it without much intensive gaming...

the same goes for my brother's shuttle ... he had the same problem by running X850XTPE the time...

ever since that i would said mATX has better securement as compared to those SFF with custom mobo..... which u can't get any replacement after warranty is due...

nahh shuttles have better performance than the rest of the SFF barebone packages.

in fact, if you don't try to OC it to the max (which is a hard thing to do since they have great OC features and the boards are mighty stable)

and basically if you cram lots of hot stuff in, i wouldn't be surprised why it died so quickly.

lol even low end shuttles are priced sky high nowadays...the sn25p is still 1.8k
and as for their quality - better now, with reliability issues lessening with each model

Lol well hey I never found the need for many HDDs since I rarely use up a lot of disk space. Anything I download is burned to DVD except for music which I use daily, so it's fine by me.
The HDD is the loudest thing in my rig anyway, so adding another would be a drastic difference.

why is there a need for 2 hard disk? just to play safe if the primary one goes down. you dun want the data to get loss don't you?

any lubangs for slimline slot loading optical drives in taiwan, sniper?

Hello everybody. I'm new here. I am looking for a mini-itx mainboard specifically VIA EPIA ML6000 Fanless. Any idea where i buy this board in Malaysia? Appreciate your help.

RM860 for the ML6000 coz this is back to back order and special order. Can wait till the bring in their full shipment and can get RM660. If order a lot can also get lower price...

but the fun would be building your own casing ... maybe get some cheap-cheap toaster from Giant and put the mother board in there... :-)

Not many you can find in malaysia. As i mentioned earlier, Gatum Dale has the morex mondeo http://www.morex.com.tw/products/productdetail.php?fd_id=53
and cost RM360 including power supply.

You can also try http://www.mini-itx.com/ for casings and ideas.

I think that if building your own, it's better to get the fanless board. So that we don't have to worry much about the ventilation for the casing. However, most fanless will not be that powerful if you are looking at using it for 3D gaming. If for normal browsing, office apps, playing dvd and mp3, i think there are many fanless board that can support these.

This Aerocool sff looks nice....

I wonder what's the price. Can use Micro ATX board and normal size ATX psu.

dudes, my IDEQ200N just died last week after like 2 years of service so now i'm looking to upgrade using Micro-ATX, and i have to say, the Aspire Q-pack really gets my attention. browsed teh interwebs, found out the price to be like USD80++

can i get it anywhere in M'sia?

how would you review Coolermaster Centurion RC-541? Review from Hardwarezone praises it for its sturdiness but the BTX origins seems like a big turn off. But price wise, its darned cheap.
