I cant find a specific thread or home in your forums for us SFF, aka micro atx, enthusists.
With the trends going to smaller everthing it seems like a logical step. I'm a case modder and oc enthusiest and lanner(sff suits my interests better) and would like to see a section for us types. I think it would be great. I wouldn't consider myself in the most extreme end of hardware modding but it would be great if we had a place where the guys that are could stop in and maybe lend a hand and advice to us guys trying oc sff boards and the like. Monarch has released an evga sli micro atx that at the time only being in the hands of couple guys is not really a good ocer but I know that with some help from your more knowedgable folks there could be some cool improvements. Ive posted in forums like these and inevitably you get responses like, "what the hell do want to oc a micro atx board for just get a real atx board and forget that crap" With our own thread its likely that wouldnt have to happen. Not to mention the whole new group of users you would be welcoming to your forums. Ok so Im thru ranting and if Im just being a dork and there is a thread for sff and I just cant find it please excuse me and direct me in the right direction.

SFF= Small Form Factor

Just to clarify for those who don't know, you may get more hits this way.

You mention Micro atx in there, but not all read the hole text, if they don't get what you are talking about.

Skyhawk 478 box with a 2.8p4 1gig of ocz ram and 6800gt both on Danger Den blocks and going to squeeze a 2x80 radiator in there some were. I had this on a full size board and the mobo died so I though I might as well try something new. I am collecting parts now for a AMD set up on chilled water so I will have a full size one and one to take to Lans that I can carry. My full size one is already at 50+ lbs with just the chiller parts and the case.

Alright, got everything in my qpack again. Running water with the chevette radiator mounted externally. Mounted using a 90mm fan fram, screwed fan frame to 120mm grill on case then to rad. Currently a 120mm fan on rad with no shroud. Load temps = 42c 2.7GHz 1.7v. Running a whitewater, chevette heatercore, via aqua 1300, and a mix of 1/2 3/8. It's all pretty cramped in there but I love the small size. Will get some pics up tommarow =)

Using the dfi lanparty strap, can usually find them on fs forums. Cut down the excess strap
