!!!SPONSORS!!! Its time I upgraded my main pc. Want small but powerful. Mainly going to be used for grahic design work, Website design and sum gaming. Ok To start you all off I am going to be using the Silverstone SST-SG03, M-ATX, SFF tower black case. The case in its box. Moving on to the case. Sorry about the photo quality was in a rush as battery was dying. Other parts I have are: 2x Western Digital 750GB SATA II 7200RPM HDD's 1x BENQ DW200S 20X SATA DVDRW Black DVD Drive 2x Silverstone FN121 LED Fan, 120mm, Blue LED lights 2x 120mm Chrome fan grils 2x Packs of thumb screws Will have photos soon of the parts. I will have a update in couple days waiting for parts to arrive.
I really liked that case when I reviewed one! Not too sure about the huge vent on the side though.. Going to keep an eye on this, SFF mods are always interesting
Thanks all for Subscribing. Just to let you all no im waiting on parts to get here. Hate xmas shops are closed. Here is a review on the case if anyones interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPBSWAJ_aiM Silverstones video of the case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsmKHJq2aTs I should have my parts turn up this week.
Just a tiny update. Got sum of my parts and installed sum. Silver thumb screws i was going to use but have gone with black ones now. I tested one of the fans and thay are very nice. Nice front on this drive has a brushed look on it. Fan controller. Is a nice compact controller. With small knobs on it. Still have to install it into the PCI slot at the top of the case. Black thumb screws for the rear of case and hdd bays, Black fan screws also. Will have photos of the front fans and grills installed soon. Also a photo of the fan controller installed. Also photo of the hdd's installed. I have ordered uv blue cable sleeving tonight. Havent ordered the hardware yet. just seeing what the cost drops are going to do and the new hardware thats just out is like.
The HDD's and dvd drive from here: http://www.pconlineshop.co.nz/index.html Case and sum other parts here: http://www.aquilatech.co.nz/ The thumb screws and fan controller i got off a pc dude off trademe.
Got my HDD's today and installed them plus sum black thumb screws. Was going to install the fan controller but it has no screws with it so have to get sum. 2x Western Digital 750GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Hard Drive's HDD locking brackets installed and in HDD bay. GREEN POWER. HDD's installed and thumb screws used. Inside of the case both HDD's installed. Thumb screws on the PCI slots. Both the Silverstone 120mm clear with blue led fans installed into front panel. Inside of case with fans installed. After i took this i started thinking the wires would be better on the other side closer to the 3.5" bay fan controller so i will be changing them round when i install the fan grills. INTERBLU so far. The top PCI slot still has a silver thumb screw in it for now because the black one was about 1.5mm bigger the the silver one and it wouldnt fit so will do sumthing to get it to fit soon. Got my UV blue cable sleeving kit also.
Interesting. I have the exact same case and I was thinking of modding ideas. I think you'll inspire me.
Just to let you all no I have been planning sum parts and things. ie: Flip the hdd's upside down and install coolers on both drives. Ordering sum parts this week so will have sum new photos and info soon. PS: Started using my tripod and my new lights setup in my room so will have nicer photos.
Not out in NZ yet. and would say it will be a rippoff to buy over here. Thinking quad core socket 775, and get 1 kickass graphics card and ram. I think the i7 is to over priced at moment over here. Maybe I will update the setup in couple years 2 a matx i7. or newer.
