Will the cobalt be sold with any kind of overclock btw ?

The Cobalt is currently at stock speeds. The i5 750 gets too hot when overclocked inside the Q08 case.

really am loving these SFF builds at the moment.
someone buy a Cobalt so I can build you a pretty computer

What motherboard are you going to be using on the shockwave?

I'm assuming it will be the Rampage III Gene.

that is mere speculation and we couldn't possibly comment on such a matter

Any updates for pics of the Quantum Cobalt

what is the fastest card available for the 'Quantum Shadow' Q07? thanks

d_brennen · 28 Jun 2010 at 08:34

Some nice systems there. Now, how about a MATX i5 750 bundle? Show us small case gamers some love

The Club 3D 5770 1GB will fit but it gets very hot 80C+ on load.

Will you be stocking this card soon? dont see any on the product page atm.

rjk · 28 Jun 2010 at 08:55

you dont need it really

as Nath said, it does get far too hot for us to even consider offering a warranty for such a configuration.

as you can see from the youtube videos in the thread, the current setup of the quantum shadow manages battlefield [and most other games for that matter] at above average settigns perfectly well

Just built my q08 (i got the silver version). I managed to fit a corsair h50 with one fan in by using the small form factor silverstone 450w power supply, i think that if you used slim 12cm fans yu could have 2 fans in the push/pull config.

I will try and post sum pics over the weeknd once ive worked out how to make cables look less messy.

So what temps are you getting on the shockwave, if your using the Gene how are you cooling the NB?

Have you thought about offering the x6 chips in these configurations not only will it be cheaper but you have more headroom with the cooling.

harryc · 5 Jul 2010 at 22:54

awwww when i saw this i was expecting to see some budget builds for the q-08

fireisdangerous · 5 Jul 2010 at 23:35

Here are some pics, pretty impossible to tidy the cables as there is knowhere to route them.

Azzy.. · 16 Jul 2010 at 20:28

Im going to sound really stupid here but how is the 2.5" Hard drive mounted in the shadow ?

rjk · 20 Jul 2010 at 14:22

there are some small mounting holes in the bottom of the case . i use longer screws and an anti vibration pad

I have a question about the Quantum Shadow, at a later stage will it be possible to upgrade the graphics card, or is the 5670 choice of card the only realistic choice ?.

the Club3D 5770 will fit but gets rather hot (80c+).

Shar · 3 Aug 2010 at 20:34

Being new to modding and especially SFF, I don't suppose something like a VGA cooler like the Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro would fit in the case with the lack of space.
If so maybe something like the Club3D 5770 could be a possibility.
