Hi guys, this is my new htpc/downloading station/light gaming....the sandwich itx!: based on a celeron j1900, 8gb of ram, one ssd crucial mx100 256gb and (last but not least) one evga gtx 750 ti; all is powered by a pico psu 150w and cooled by a scythe slim 120mm fan, placed on the top of the vga (which it's original fan was removed)
the case is 200*80*225 mm (W*H*D)
to fix a bit the rear area (where I cut heavily, cause at first the vga was mounted downwards) I have created a small metal plate to fill the area:
Finally, using a cover mesh I made a new top cover, trying to recreate as close as possible to the original one; as you can see from the photos it's not perfect (the right side is a bit 'up), but I'll fix later...for now it's ok.
about the temp, with this setup I could have keep the pc semi-fanless; the cpu is made to be fanless, and the GPU temp rise up and than will stabilize to about 55° for web browsing/watching videos has no problems; considering that the ambient temp is dropping down everything worked perfectly. However, I preferred to keep the fan running continuously, at 400rpm (speed at which it is inaudible) because I prefer to have a minimum air ventilation
now the gpu in full load does not reach 65°, the cpu has no problems, and the pc is absolutely quiet and fairly efficient.
