Re: small, quiet mini-ITX gaming build

@WFD, is it possible to still use the bottom 3.5" spaces with a mATX board in place? Dont care about the slots particularly but would like a HD or two in the case!

Re: small, quiet mini-ITX gaming build

WFD, great build and helpful pics. I wonder if there is any cooler similar and able to avoid putting pressure on the DIMM slots?

Tranquil's price sucks.... Its 70 Euros inc 19% VAT in Germany or £63 (thats with HIGHER VAT) Its 99 Dollars in USA or equivalent £60 Its 79 Pounds inc 15% VAT in UK - with less VAT..

Cons: 1) No easy way to soft mount the 80mm fans (not enough clearance for extra fan gaskets and/or soft fan mounts) 2) No 3.5" HD support, and no easy way to soft mount the 2.5" drive(s) w/o mods Could you not mount a 3.5" HDD behind the optical and slung in that space just in front of the fan whe...

Think I will wait for Ion2 (twice performance) and D510 (lower TDP Atom, possibly faster) and skip this generation

That uses 20w as well, the only way to get it to use zero is to use the power switch on the PSU. HHow do you measure power? This seems extremely odd. Sounds like its not actually Hob...

Re: Point of View ION Atom 330 M/Board Review

Power consumption 18w Off That doesn't sound good at all... Yeah, fortunately its on 24/7 so its not an issue. Can you check that? I mean what mobo uses power when switched off. That would start to really piss me off. Have you also looked at soft overclocking (SetFSB type programs). I asked POV abo...
