You should also think about throwing some Samsung SSD in there and run in RAID 0 if at all possible.

How many gigs of RAM do you plan on running? Just curious. Also, that will be some crazy fast RAM man, much more than needed, but I like that, haha, depending what you do I guess.

Also, I love the choice for CPU, I am thinking about running one of those as well. I like those H100i's also.

I was thinking about the Samsung SSD's gonna wait a few paychecks, really impressed with the WD Black so far. As for ram I totally forgot to put that it is 2 - 8gb sticks. Pictures coming soon of some parts.

Sorry for the delay in getting updates, I will be posting update pictures tomorrow, it is indeed alive...and scary fast for a mITX. Broke all the molds I had imagined for its size class.

Yes. YES. I've always wanted to get away from my 650D and make an mITX build that eats much larger systems. A very high priority of mine when I have the money to do so.

Well here are some pics I took putting it together. 4659C1C1-786C-486B-A7F3-9F2CAC73BC82_zps142794F7-0FDF-45F0-A149-013F7B368E17_zpsF5BFFC4F-2A2A-4B3E-AF7F-F96088B76606_zpsC3524A76-0CCE-4047-A181-99D1CDB2642C_zps

It looked great with the covers on but I couldn't handle building this beast and not cleaning up the wiring. First step though was to trade the front 140mm fan and the spare 120mm case fan I had when I installed the H100i for my buddies Corsair 200mm fan for the front of my case. 8E128906-68FC-4341-A3B1-6FA519D6E37F_zps

Toss in another 1.5tb of storage with my WD Green...A75C0BDD-E098-4D8E-A4FE-A8783495E355_zps

Here comes the tie down stage, this may seem simple but anyone who has done it in this small of space with big ole hands will know it isn't...took me longer than I am proud of and it will take a while to redo when my individually sleeved kit arrives. 63F99D9A-B02C-43E4-9E2B-07C59B41EEBD_zps6B90FE97-477D-4BDC-B22E-2BEA7803424F_zpsDD1D41F5-FF08-4BB7-995F-199BAAFDD090_zps

Nice gear

Thank you Tecomah, aside from the gpu I didn't really cut any corners on this one.

I tried to go small for my build too, but I decided to do mATX, and not go all the way to ITX.

Nice, yeah my last build was micro-ATX, Mini-ITX is pretty darn cool though.
