      Cheating! Your front panel connectors aren't plugged in ;)

    • Nice cable management, looks like you've got nothing but power/reset connected on your front panel, how do you get audio?

      • Yeah, only have power button connected. my Sony XB-1000 headphones are plugged into the back IO panel, they have a 2 meter cable so its not an issue.

  • Does anyone have a micro ATX build? I've had a HAF X for a few years now, and have had big cases all my life, and I've been thinking lately that I'd like to try mATX for my next build (like the Bitfenix Prodigy M). Obviously my main concern is having everything fit in. I'm a single GPU kinda guy, so no worries there, and I know that I'm going to have to resort to an external audio interface. Would love too see/hear if anyone else has some experience with this form factor!

      My friend recently put together an ITX gaming build as he needed a more portable pc. Aside from a tricky install with the cramped enclosure and the limited PSU options it's been running fine for several months now.

    • Yeah, I'm running a 3960X, 760, IV Gene, 2 Samsung 250GB SSD's, 2 Seagate Barracuda's, MSI 760 and a H105 all in an Arc Mini R2. The Prodigy is a really plasticy case so if you're looking at mATX, consider the Mini R2 from Fractal, Corsair's 350D and the S5 from Caselabs. With mATX, unless you're water cooling or have a case with 5 slots with the board matching for SLI, you probably should only run 1 card as the second would have issues.

      You can click on your name, then go through the pages. I don't think you can just search your own comments. You could try searching your username with a pc component.
