OK I have finally settled on the final design for this build. Due to my constant chatting and off topic romps this thread has gotten quite long so if you get bored easily skip to Page 53 and the final build will commence there
A few years ago I began fiddling with comps. I entered my first comp into Ultras Mod contest, because of the help from TPU members I managed to do well.
The prize was $500 worth of Ultras stuff. I grabbed a few cases and one of them was a Microfly (Qpack clone stretched and extra 1.5"). I gave it to a friend and forgot all about it till last week, he wanted a tower and brought me back the Microfly.
After watching a few threads on the SFF cases I noticed that the companies still refused to correct the poor design of their SFF cases. So this log is to show how a few simple things can transform the SFF case into a winner.
Here is what most find out when building one
By mounting the PS above the mobo its a mess and there is barely room for a mATX board.
Now I have nothing against mATX boards but using a full size ATX just gives you a larger selection and more options.
