Gaming in Tight Spaces - MAX11L

[miahallen]

Just finished my SG05 build and did a complete performance assessment. This case & PSU have more potential than more people are giving it. I built it with the stock PSU, a Clarkdale at 4.6GHz and air cooling first. This newer revision is the MAX11L....or maximum performance in 11 liters of space. It's a water cooled quad core at 4.2GHz and a 480GTX with the upgraded 450W Silverstone PSU.

Here are some pictures:











Here is the original air cooled build:

I came here after reading the recent mini-ITX build that Geoff wrote...good stuff, but I thought some of you might be interested in the possabilities with a little extra effort

Whow that things like a mini coupe... looks really tidy inside grats on your build. The fan in the first shot looks like one mean sucka.

Finished sleeving the PSU yesterday...pretty happy with the results

Just fine thanks! Check out my performance review for details.

Wow. I myself am considering a i5/6870 build inside a SG05, but I've been having doubts about the PSU's ability to sufficiently power everything. Now I know it's definitely doable, since you have a Clarkdale and a GTX 480 running inside of one. Thanks!
