Customer Review

Have 344 installed a i7 CPU with fan Katana 4 of Scythe (Japan) with a height of 143 mm in the case Cooler Master Elite. HDD carrier removed to hineinzubekommen the graphics card. The hard drive I have put in a Sharkoon Vibe Fixer and fixed with cable ties at the lower bay with cable ties. HD Tune says a hard disk temperature of 35 ° C. The SSD I have fixed on a SSD mounting adapter made of metal side, the metal frame takes on additional heat. It only fit Micro-ATX motherboards into: 25 cm x 25 cm (eg ASUS Maximus V Gene). Gaming graphics card for 200 housed. Computer runs more quietly, that was my intention.

To an internal fan to these changed here:
1) 1 x controlled front fan be quiet! Silent Wings 2 Case Fans 120 mm
2) 1 x rear fan with 92mm: NB-Black Silent Pro PE-1 92mm 1300 U / min.

Those who want to necessarily get his computer in a small enclosure, can be accessed here. But should also bring something sent to adjust this or that. Anyone who does not trust the should take a larger case, so that no member dies the heat death.

What should be noted:
- The housing could be wider.
- If the case would be slightly more expensive, could it perhaps even better build quality (eg air filter, side panel screws with loss prevention, etc.).
- USB 3.0 front connection is performed on the internal 20 pin mainboard. This port are two USB 3.0 ports here, but there is only one used. Why do not open up. Because USB 3.0, the attenuation of 20 Ohm is not explicitly required by the components (cable, host, female), it is generally anywhere at USB 3.0 to any objections. So I also have the 20 pin cable complained, but it brought no improvement.

Chic case.

Who would prefer to now have a larger case, which was the NZXT H2 Classic mid-tower PC case (ATX, 3x 5.25 externally, 8x 3.5 internally, USB 3.0) white to heart. Because the disks are mounted behind removable fans. A SATA hard drive can be connected above hot plug, and with full speed SATA3 (when, once again, the hard drive needs to be checked by acquaintances, or backup drive, etc). The constant fan can be varied by means of slide switch 3 stage in the speed (40, 70 and 100% = 12 V).
