hi guys, first time posting here..

is the 750gb on your nuc is the external hdd? how much is the total price of your nuc?

It's internal 2.5" HDD (7200rpm), the "Tall" model of NUC can support both mSata and 2.5" slot


Total price RM2250 (should have top up another 200 to make it 16GB RAM but I can always upgrade later)

Picture of my setup:

fuiyoo..nice stuff man.

intel nuc really takes the sff to new heights. i wish there are more usb 3.0 ports though

It's a fine little machine but just a bit lack of gaming capability

will be great if this is AMD APU build.

great look with great price..

yours is i3 or i5 ? Should have gotten yourself SSD to maximise its capability

Hi all, long time didnt come to this tread already. What do you guys thin about Jonsbo casing, how is their quality compared to Lian li cases? i am looking at particularly U3R.

Guys I'm building a home server...but dunno much about casing...can anyone please recommend me any good, very slim micro ATX? or any casing that you prefer for home server?

my server rig hv nothing fancy, but I need enough space for atleast 2 HDD and Slim casing is my priority~

Thx~

Jonsbo U3 is not a bad looking case, it's simple and stylish. However due to the tight space inside, you can only use very low CPU heatsinks. So if you have an overclockable Core i processor, you can only upclock it a little before CPU gets too hot. There's a much older Chyangfun case that fares a lot better.

This case can accommodate an optical drive, a 3.5" drive, and a small size heatsink such as the Cooler Master Vortex Plus.

Technically, the Vortex Plus can fit into the Jonsbo U3, but the fan would be pressed hard against the PSU. It'll be hard, if not impossible, to find a thinner fan that fits the CPU fan socket as a replacement.

If anyone can find more of this Chyangfun case, please PM me.

Nice piece of information. I am also in the mid of collecting all part to build a HTPC. Will be using a i5-S Slim CPU and SSD (2nd HDD optional) on Macro ATX board....wondering where to by the Jonsbo U3 in KL and how much does it cost ?

By macro ATX, you most probably mean microATX. See this thread:

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-183...-macro-atx.html

Jonsbo U3 is a case for mini ITX boards.

You can order Jonsbo U3 from sellers here on the forum. Just go to Casings & PSUs Garage Sales and look for CyntrixTech or noobandroid.
