It's tempting... But I'm gonna wait for the 380T.

Here's mine just completed today, ML07b aka the Raven RVZ01's brother.

Managed to cramp in mid range spec (Just missing GTX770 to match with Steam Machine) tongue.gif
I5 4460
16gb ram
Gigabyte H97N-Wifi
Gtx760
Silverstone SFX psu 450w
Scythe big shuriken 2
Intel 530 ssd
500gb hdd

Casing fan using
1 X Enermax TB silent cpu side
2 x noctua NFP12 for gpu side

Bought silverstone's flat cable as well for better cable management.
I've read that some mobo couldnt fit certain low profile cpu cooler especially big shuriken, so need to make sure of that.

Plus:
-Compact case, well thought of the arrangement especially pcie riser for gc
-low profile look (looks like AV receiver) suitable to blend in with home theater setup
-CPU and GPU cooling are seperated. My GPU idles around 40C and CPU 38C! Not bad for such a cramped casing.
-Dust filter


Minus:
-Plastic front
-Steel casing
-ML07 does not come with case fan and dust filter unlike RVZ01! Need to fork extra for that
-Casing fan need to use silent version else it' ll be noisy.
-If you inspect closely, the build quality not that refined
-Pain in the ass to assemble but well worth it!
-limited choice for sfx psu
-power button and reset button no tactile feedback. Damn hard to press and it feels like a stucked button

@crayzee Nice Build rclxms.gif ! Can we see some more detail picture of you build? And do you think the case would support a graphics card with a 2.5 slots width?

Aaaand on a side note; Corsair made a build guide on youtube for their 380T last week.



From the looks of it the internal arrangement is some what closely resembles corsairs own obsidian 250D (minus the optical drive bay)

i'll post more tonight smile.gif

I think can put a GC with 2.5 slots width but need to make sure the side casing fan are using slim ones or totally removed. I'm using Asus Asus 760gtx (2 slot) and able to put in a noctua PF12 fan with 25mm thickness and still got about 10mm space left (if not mistaken biggrin.gif).

As for the CPU side, Big shuriken 2 + 25mm profile casing fan, i still have a little bit of space left between those 2 biggrin.gif, just fits nicely.

I made a mistake connecting the 2 x Noctua PF12 for the intake for the GC, it's actually not spinning because i used their single LNA adapter for 2 fans doh.gif . Each of fan has to run on one LNA adapter. I didn't check the fan were spinning and straight run Passmark and GC temperatures were 40c idle and 84c load! After i found out and fixed it, the temperatures dropped tremendously. It's about 36c idle and 74c load after 1 hour of gaming biggrin.gif

I also moved the SSD to the side near the PSU as the 760gtx is directly behind it, temperatures of the SSD reaching 52c due to the heat from the backside.

CPU side with magnetic dust filter FF123 attached. All fans are intake, my setup is positive pressure, the excess heat will be pushed out through the top and back of the casing vent.

Scythe big shuriken 2. The fan can get a little noisy under load. As you can see, the height clearance is pretty good and able to fit in another 25mm thick fan, provided you stick with stock shuriken fan biggrin.gif

PCIE riser removed from mobo. (Total 6 screws to be removed)

Thanks smile.gif

My choice went from Coolermaster Elite 130 to Corsair 250d and finally went for this. They're all are good case at least for me but i wanted something more compact.

Same here! I wanted something that can be fitted in my travel bag or something with a carrying handle. I'm patiently waiting for the corsair 380T. If it's too big to be carried around, then have to go with MLO7 or RVZ01.

Btw, how much did it cost for your case and where did you get it?

I'm in Penang, so i had to order this from Ideal Tech. RM285.

It doesn't come with dust filter and 3 casing fans unlike RVZ01 sad.gif

The RVZ01 here is selling for 340, more value because you get 3 silent fans and 3 magnetic dust filters (Worth RM84) but i prefer ML07 looks.

For size comparison
The Corsair 380T dimension is 39.3 X 29.2 X 35.6 (cm) = 40 Liters
The RVZ01 38.2 x 10.5 x 35 (cm) = 14 Liters
Steam machine 30.5 x 31.5 x 7.5cm = 7 Liters! shocking.gif (They're able to achieve that due to slimmer profile, without support for side casing fans and optical disk drive and 3.5inch HDD support.

Not to mention the steam machine uses even a smaller power supply compared to an small form factor power supply.

Thx for the info. I didn't manage or even thought about calculating the volume of the 380T by using its deminsion to compare it in terms size. Much appreciated!

The steam machine ifixit teardown reveals that it is using SilverStone SST-ST45SF-G biggrin.gif. It's basically a standard SFX PSU, can be used in RVZ01/ML07 as well.

EVGA hadron is a nice case too! At 15L volume, it's small and compact as well biggrin.gif
Only letdown is i couldn't find any seller bringing in this

True Dat! But for me it's less appealing because the case has a slight tilt upfront.

I just read the review, the case couldn't fit any standard atx/sfx PSU, they're specially made for the Hadron. Will be a problem to change another PSU aftermarket. Also after fitting mid/high end gc, the dual slot GC will be damn near to the PSU. PSU efficiency drops if temperature increases as the heat from GC may cause the PSU temp to rise too.

@crayzee 1 I would like to know, If you put in a longer graphic card in the ML07, would you still be able to put a slot load optical drive?
