    Hi boys and girls, once again i have some project but this time for my living room.
    The base:
    Nox Rubik black Mini ITX Case
    Asus E35M1-M Pro (replace to my D510MO that died last week)
    4GB DDR3 1333mhz Kingston
    2TB Western Digital Caviar Green
    Stock Nox 150W Rubik PSU

    This case is a mini ITX case so this mb wont fit in normal way, so i decided to mod a little thing.
    lets see, shall we?
    the motherboard is a little big to fit no?

    Amazing what you can fit in a shoe box, kids shoes at that. :)

    Can the I/O cables still come out the rear?

    no rear plugs, only inside

    No Craig unfortunately not, the wires are plugged without the shell on, and all of them get out by a hole on the back.

    Update late night

    Hi people,
    Here is some photos from today, i have not decided what to do with the stock heatsink, if i put a fan on the side of the case pushing air in to the heatsink or if i attach a fan on it, as the case is to be fitted with two windows on side(front of the board) and on top, if i put a fan on the side the windows will not be ideal, so i have not decided yet.
    here is some tryouts and finnished lighting
    transparent fan with blue leds
