hi there.

i haven't been to LYP for ages, so i'd like to ask SFF'ers here, how many types of m-atx cases available in the market.

cheers.

does anyone know if the thermal take lanbox is sold here in malaysia, and how much?

thanks.

deng! that's far...

anyway, i've gotten a used PC-A05B..though not an SFF..but it's kinda nice...

S.O.T.R. taiko,

yes, the A05 can sure fit lotsa stuff...


anyway, very nice htpc u have there. u always make ppl like me jealous...

@rsangel,

that's a very nice bag...looks good enough to carry the SG...and not too "flashy" so as to attract thieves....

forummer ngbh is selling the "uprated" microfly to xqbox 901...but he's only got green and gold face. no more black face.

was thinking abt it...but afraid it may turn out bad...skills tarak..

@evo,

your SG02 is damn tempting laaa....i likessss...

@evo,

Nice stuff...noticed the corsair W/C kit as well. how's the performance? from reviews, it looked good...

opps sorry...din see ur reply...

i decided not to do any mods on it...anyway, i finally got an SSF, even though I believe it's an AH BENG case ...got no choice, the price was too tempting to not get it... it's an aopen g326... ...on a tight budget to build a more powerful PC for my wife to use...compared to her current P4 2.4G

this corsair looks good...and "doesn't" leak...I reckon it's very suitable for SFF cases...only thing is the price...

it's going for ard rm359 in lyn...but dunno will remain that price or not...even though it's quite economical to run the corsair, it's still abit expensive for folks like me...

the rad can be attached at the rear of the SFF, or internally, anyway, i don't have it, so I wouldn't know...

WoW...i7 onload at 70degC with w/c!?? well, i'm not familiar with i7, but imho, it's abit dangerous...

c2d procs would have started giving alarms and tripping d...

anyway, it' good to know the h50 corsair does prove it's claim...now i just ned to find the moolah to grab it...

100degC is boiling water temp laaaa....crazy! in an SFF enclosure? if without the H50, temps would go higher??

hahahha....looks cool man...especially the limau case....

love it!! only thing is....what's the temps like....

most importantly...it can blend in when the CNY festival is near...

@ beast921,

i recently built a rig for my wife, using this similar case...seems ok....

the temps were ok...though i don't o/c....hmm...

i think the temps now are around there...my e8400 was also around that temp, when in a full tower casing with numerous fans...

anyway, my kids were quite curious and were questioning what the box was(the aopen326)...as it looked different as my other PCs...

yup..you're right...the space can accommodate a tower HSF, in which i believe will be good, as the hsf fan on the tower can be aligned "inline"(blowing in the same direction) with the psu fan at the rear...hence assisting the evacuation of hot air via the PSU...

i currently have a zalman 9500 cooler in the g326 casing...the temps are quite alright...in Realtemp, my coretemps doesn't exceed 46degC, on HWmonitor(coretemps) doesn't exceed 45degC, on Coretemp doesn't exceed 42degC, on speedfan(coretemps) doesn't exceed 42degC as well...

Here's a photo of the zalman in the g326 casing...

Added on October 12, 2009, 2:22 amdunno whether it will fit or not...didn't take the measurements...

Added on October 12, 2009, 2:24 amI wouldn't mind, but those are high end coolers....my budget was limited...hence had to utilized with what I have...

yes sir...

a tower cooler will definitely be more efficient...especially if the PSU has a large fan at the lower side....which is very popular nowadays anyway...

Added on October 12, 2009, 12:33 pmyour killer whale, as mentioned by fr0sti3, is a top-down design...hence the airflow is not working in tandem with the fan of the psu...

a tower cooler will definitely be better...I just got a CCF, but donno if it fits...

the CCf is for my own rig that I'm in the process of refreshing la...thought of fitting into the g326, but I reckon the CCF is too wide, may get into contact with the casing cover...
