my ITX builds

[Ducky Spud]

Nice work Duniek on that case. You gonna put some black acrylic behind the gaps or leave it just looking through to the mobo?

And 3t3P, that sounds about right. Check post #7, at the front of the case, just in front of the RAM. Thats the PSU tiny things!

 

[craptakular]

I made two for my self and rest for my friends
but no problem to make for anyone custom case

Just out of interest at this stage, how much would you want for a case?

EDIT: I would like to see you build this case http://www.splitreaction.com/lexan-mini-itx-pc/

How do you get the power button to work?

Me and my dad were gonna attempt this with wood, but I started uni and ran out of time.

I dare you to make it lol.

pico psus is the best , no mess in case ;D

has 7A on 12V line but pico isnt good for 3,5" hdds and 5,25 optical drives

I powered e8500 + zotac 9300 + 4gb ram max on this pico + 110W adapter

pics of psus (from right to left ATX, mATX, 1U, pico + adapter )

if somebody want contact me via mail (in my sig) if this is not good with forum rules I will remove it

very nice builds regardless, inspirational for tiny pc's
if the external power brick is up for it, could you install TWO pico PSU's inside an M-ITX build say if you wanted to run a dedicated GPU?

 

[duniek]

if you want run it with gpu (9400/9500/gt100) buy pico 150XT or pico 200

Inspirational indeed, makes you realise what you can do with very little space and power (watts not grunt) really.

My I5 system is mATX based at the moment, but when the new ITX S1156 boards launch I intend to turn my machine into an mITX setup, the only issue I have is the GTX260 ...I have a Sugo SG05 that I have a E6600/Zotac in right now running as my media machine and server, but I'm not sure the 300w psu would handle an I5 under load and a GTX260 ...dunno, could be a bit too close for comfort.

I hope that when the new boards launch, there will be some more powerful mini psu's and also some new mITX cases aswell. I think 2010 is going to be an interesting year for miniaturised power

very much liking this case, would be ideal for building an atom router!

 

[dangerstat]

Some really really impressive cases in this thread Would love on of the lazer cut ones from the OP

too good, ban1

You booted that system up with no fans on it at all? Wondering what temps it gets to running passive.

And what are all the other components for? Surely most arent for mini ITX systems!? (Water pumps, 8800, OCZ Reaper etc)

pumps and block are for watercooled itx maybe
but alwys i have better jobs to do than that

Hi, I have a question about these Pico PSUs.

I am planning to build a file server/htpc with the next-generation Atom/Pinetrail chipset in the new year. Ideally, I want to use 2* 3.5" WD Green hard discs and a 5.25" optical drive.

Do you think the PicoPSU would be enough for this? I don't really want to use a huge ATX PSU unless I have to.

Thanks!

 

[3t3P]

How come you build so many ITX builds?

 

[Illusion]

Impressive builds and photos, puts my ITX machine to shame although I did just use readily available parts / case...

pico psus isnt good for 5,25" and 3,5" drives,
in my opinion 3,5" eco green drives should be work good but 5,25" deffo not


today "WORK"

Haha, love that cable!! got to be the shortest connector ever used in a PC

Awesome case pics and some nice laser cutting. Very inspirational.
