anyone recommend a good case for a mni itx build, that has 4 or 5 3.5" hdd bays, room for a 120mm AIO cooler and a GTX650ti card- not being water cooled or anything- just need to be plainish and relatively cool as a basic home pc/media server. External bays and drives not an option- had thought of a NAS drive but wont work due to client insisting on one box solution- my sister in law
How about the Fractal Node 304? Bigger plain black shoebox than Silverstone SG05/06 and room for 6 drives.
Arboreal I'd not seen the 304, just the 804 which I was considering but the size difference should allow me to use the smaller 304 and save a bit of space and more importantly face with the sil Thank you my man
Hairy, you're welcome mate, not seen one, but have heard good things about them. I'm sure there's guys on here who have used 304s. Look what Scan have have done with one - review by our Hexus Overlords. /Happy SiL
I've got a Node 304, the only thing I don't like about it is the PSU placement. The modular cables on my Seasonic X650 mean't that the GPU couldn't be installed! I got round the issue by removing a screw from the cases PSU frame which allowed me to install the PSU at an angle to free up a little more space for the cables. Not ideal and the cables still pushed on the GPU, in the end I changed to a Corsair 250D.
