I picked one up about a year back...just a bit tight for my full-sized card and water cooling.

Good luck squeezing everything in!

Will be using the PSU out of a thermaltake Element Q LAN case.. Maybe also the mobo mounting plate as well

Got the idea to use this case from Leatherfaces RC mod

Wow.. I wasn't even gonna bother with a real video card because I figured you prob switched out the psu to run everything. I was thinking about switching that bored I have for a zotac that could run my 2600k proc. what board did you use again?

zotac h67-ITX Wifi MB, Zotac 560ti, patriot ssd , and 8 gigs of patriot G2 ram all on the 220 watt and a couple of led's, at first people said no it wont work and blah , blah, but then I said what the hell lets try it, not a single crash or issue and my son played bf3 and lol on it for a few days before shipping it off.

Awesome.. I think I may go your route then.. I had setup the components in the TT case to make sure all the components worked and installed windows and SWTOR on it but this board was def designed to be a htpc.. Don't get me wrong it's a nice setup.. Just the wrong application for this mod.

Thanks for the input leatherface.. I may pick your brain from time to time if I come up against issues if you don't mind?

Jeff did have this planned out - I remember a few conversations about it. Glad a PDXLANer ran with it!

Hope you are willing to have it at our next OMSI event!
