deadeyedic30 Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Hi, I just got one of these boards and i'm trying to find a suitable case for it. I can easily put it in an atx case, but that defeats the purpose of having a matx board. I want something thats easy to carry to my mates for lan. Been looking at the Silverstone Sugo or Antec Aria.

p0tter Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Asipre Q-Pack (would be your best bet) w/ this psu its a tight fit, but works... other psu are too large (ocz mod stream, etc) I have a couple of friends w/ that case and PSU and decent AMD 6800GS/7600GT rigs.

jeremywills Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 concur, asprie qpack is a good case if your careful and plan out the details, its amazing with a touch of patience and a well thought out arrangement what one can get all in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMan Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 If you need more room, or have a bigger PSU, go with the Ultra MicroFly - it's almost identical to the Q-Pack, just 1" longer. You're able to put in regular sized PSU in it. PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hope to put a Pioneer DVR111 in it instead of two optical drives. Whats the chance of cooling with an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro or a Zalman 7000, guessing little to none, I do have the AMD heatpipe heatsinks if i have to use one of them.

PianoMan Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Not sure if they sell them in the UK, but a quick Google should find you ALL the pics you need. Big differences between it and the Q-Pack are the 1" extra length previously noted; side panels being in three piece via the one piece Q-Pack; one temp probe vice two in the Q-Pack; and minor internal structural differences. Don't think a FreezePro would fit in there, but I do have a Zalman 7000 cooling my X2 ATM. I think you could even fit the 7700 in there. :eek: One bit of advice, though. I purchased the version with the clear side panels. While looking cool, it hinders airflow so that it can only come thru the limited vents underneath the front carrying handle. I replace the two side acrylic panels with mesh, and dropped my temps 5-7deg C., at least. The non-clear side version of the case has vent holes along the side. You'll need some good cooling with this case, and unfortunately, the clear side panels don't cut it. PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersFury Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Whats the chance of cooling with an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro or a Zalman 7000, guessing little to none, I do have the AMD heatpipe heatsinks if i have to use one of them. I've worked with a couple of these cases, and no way that AC Freezer would fit, way too tall. You really have to be able to use the mobo tray to get the board in and out and all. The Zalman is shorter than the TT HSF that got stuffed into the one. It just barely had enough clearence. Any of the Zalman 7000 series units or one of their low profile HTPC heatpipe ones would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use mine in an Aspire Qpack also I use a Skyhawk modular psu any smaller modular psu would be a good choice (like the Corsair 520w or 620w modular) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
