So I finally shrunk my computer. Now it's in a nice little matx case ready to be carried off to college. Take a look at the pics.

I just didn't want to deal with lugging it there :).

That's very impressive, was it easy to fit? I can't imagine there being a lot of space to work in.

It was a pain to work with. The cable management took nearly an hour. But it's all worth it, the temps are pretty cool, usually about 35º under normal loads. I think I've hit 60º running two Orthos for an hour.

Very nice job there!

I was just about to ask the temps, they look good for being that crammed though. :)
 
Yeah I guess if you do it right the microcases arent too bad if you are pushed for room or want something unobtrusive that wont scare away the chics .lol

I guess you can give up on putting quad crossfire HD 4870 X2's in there ;)

Yeah, but that would have cost a lot of money, I migrated from my P180 to this for just $40, as I traded my motherboard for this new board.

Yup, it's also suprisingly quiet. I guess the two Scythe Flex fans paid off :).
