Hello, there people.
I was going to post this on XS forum, eh... a week ago, but since it's not up, I figured I'd post it here instead.
Original spec.
Case : Chenbro ES34069
( http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?serno=100 )
Motherboard : MSI Industrial 945GME1 Core 2 Duo Mobile Mini-ITX
( http://www.logicsupply.com/products/ms_7265 )
RAM : 2 sticks of whatever value ram I had in hand.
CPU : I have 4 socket M cpus in hands, but I decided to use Core solo T1200 at first, and then used T7200 later.
Of course, all that text would mean nothing without pictures.
So, Here are screenshots.
You may have noticed that the motherboard has only two SATA ports. I was originally going to use a PCI raid card. For the "original spec", all I had to buy was the chassis. I had the rest already.
However, as I assembled the rig, I ran into space issues. Basically, I found no space for a raid card.
The mainboard compartment was only 1.5U (Rack measurement) height. And there was very little ways to draw in fresh air. Thankfully, the side door has a vent.
Ultimate though, I had to find another, entirely new, solution. First of all, I needed a mobo with at least 4 SATA ports because I could not fit a raid card.
After searching, I had two choices.
One was Gigabyte GA-6KIEH-RH.

The other was MSI Industrial IM-945GC Atom 330.
( http://www.logicsupply.com/products/ms_9832 )
IM-945GC looked a lot more attractive to me. However, availability was extreme poor. In fact, I could find none in America. I did find 10 in Europe, but oversea shipping was denied.
In the end, I chose Gigabyte GA-6KIEH-RH with Celeron M550.
I will update this thread later with new pictures of GA-6KIEH-RH.
