My good ISP is down now, for an unknown amount of time. I am using my employers network which is heavily restricted and blocks steam as well as most gaming forums and websites where this sort of topic is discussed. I'm trying to get steam to start offline, and I've created a CFG file using...

I'm going to put pictures of my build here which might help someone else with planning use of this case. First pic is where the computer will sit when its finished. I'm waiting for more parts here. I don't know why my pictures won't show in the forum. I am using the insert image feature and...

I just got this case and PSU, and I've been busily wiring the psu the way I like. I've measured and there's a good 20mm of space more between the plug side of the psu and the side of the case. A larger PSU will fit, but you'd have to modify it to move the plug and power button to another...

Alrighty, I got it. Thank you.

I have really slow internet and loading a you tube video takes hours. I am still trying, but could someone helpful explain or point me to a video on how these little aggravating buggers are attached to new wire...

I'm not sure how many amps a 16awg can carry. That's probably the answer which explains everything. I'm don't think jumping wires would create a restriction causing a contact point to not get the power is needs. The feed wire would just carry all of the amps. If there's a voltage drop because of...

I understand that there are different voltages and rails in a PSU, but if I have multiple yellow (12v) wires going to the same device, on a single 12v rail PSU, why do I need more than one wire? Couldn't I just run a single 12v wire and jump to another 12v contact point on the back of the...

The power requirements GPU manufacturers suggest are for full sized ATX systems with many hard drives and such, not mITX systems. Whenever I've gotten EVGA or other company customer service people on the phone they always give me crazy answers. The last guy said I needed a 48amp 12v rail for a...

You're talking about using a SG07 case right? You mentioned some other cases. The 600w PSU in the SGO7 is a beast. That GTX 570 should be fine, its max draw is 220w. There are lots of really good pictures in this thread with the AXP-140. The GPU has about 2-3 mm of clearance from the cooler...

Gah! You guys see the 560ti 2win card? I haven't even gotten my parts yet! That 2win card looks like possibly the best mITX gaming card. I know people have put the 590 into a SG07, but I am going to assume the PSU will give out early on those machines. I think the 2win is a better card for...

For some reason that second link doesn't work for me, I get a 1x1 pixel image. Could someone please post that image, I'd like to see what Bjorn did.

The Z68 is required for smart caching, correct? Speeding up the response time of a slower HDD by using a small SSD for a cache. I have purchased this board because I want to try to overclock a little. I'll be happy with 4ghz until another couple generations of GPUs roll out. Later I'm going to...

I've been promoted moved around. I have a lot more responsibility now and I've been really busy getting my new work center streamlined and compliant with the customers requirements. I've been lurking this forum and others and I've been flirting with the idea of linking some PSU's and running a...

Thanks for the heads up on the chirping.

That's a good case, but it has a larger footprint and I'm looking to make a really small gaming rig. I was planning on putting a GTX 590 into a SG07 until I saw this little tower which is only slightly larger overall, space is a premium for me. I'm intending to cut out the drive storage area...
