    Hi everyone!

    After some pause, I have a new worklog.
    Nothing extraordinary, simple project with some moderate modding.

    Components are pretty basic for this project:

    AMD A10-5800K
    ASRock FM2A85X-ITX
    Scythe Big Shuriken 2 rev.B
    Corsair Vengeance 8gb
    SSD Corsair 90gb
    SilverStone SST-ST50F-P 500W
    SilverStone SG05

    I'm, probably, gonna use it as htpc/home media center/web surfing or will take to my office )

    So, let's start with some photos:

    Memory installed:

    Some fan pics:

    PSU,
    i know it's too overpowered for this project, but i had this psu lying around, so gonna use it anyway

    Started to do some actual work:
    Removed all the stickers from MB ))

    Placed CPU

    Also did some painting job on MB:
    Used white car paint marker. Result is pretty good.

    I really didn't like the black color of cpu fan and it didn't match the color scheme of the project.
    So, painted it:

    Did some sleeving, but it is not perfect - gonna redo it later, when will sleeve my PSU

    The white spots on the blades are from flashlight.

    And here is the result. I'm satisfied.:rock:

    I shouldn't scroll so fast - I saw mini-ITX board, Blue painted fan, then PSU with blue painted fan and thought you'd somehow fit the whole thing into the PSU case!

    Looking interesting (now I read it properly), what kind of layout are you thinking of?

    Here is what i'm thinking of the layout.
    I'm gonna place psu in the front of case, using holes for a stock front fan.
