MarkC. Welcome. What a grand first post!

And what case is that? it looks like you have more than an inch (2.5cm) between the top of your heatsink and the side panel.

People should be forced to read the rules before every post in this thread. Scrolling through a dozen pictures FTL.

If the members continue to neglect that simple rule maybe admin could take a look if vBulletin could stear up picture count and size through it's programming.

Think it's for the best, if it's possible.

Thank you

The case is a Thermaltake Element S with a few mods

@MarkC: Nice touch with the spikes.

**ehume** · 07-01-2010, 02:50 PM

@MarkC

What are the spikes for?

The case is 230mm wide, which is nice. But there seems to be much distance between the motherboard and the side panel. How much space behind the mb tray - distance from mb tray to the right panel?

This is where I can watch TV and play games!

**TNTNightstalker** · 07-01-2010, 05:50 PM

This is the little woman's computer as you can tell.

**game_matter** · 07-01-2010, 06:32 PM

This transparent side panel look just like SilverStone style

anyway, really nice modding job

Hi there

The spikes are merely aestetic. Since i had bigger m3 screws i decided to put the spike and give a nice touch.

About the case from the mb tray to the side panel i have 210mm +/-

Here you can see better the gap i have between the top of the heatsink and the side of the case.

Best Regards

Thank you for the pic. That distance is very interesting. It looks like there is room for a 25mm fan between the heatsink and the left panel.

Between the PCI slots and the side panel - are those positions for 60mm fans or 80mm fans?

Finally, how much room between the back of the MB and the right side panel? The manufacturers never tell you how much room they leave for running cables.

60mm fans that you can put there.

Yes there is room for a side fan, in fact the case comes with a 200mm fan stock.

About the room behind MB i can tell you that is tight. It's a problem to close the panel with the sleeved extension i have. And the problem it's with the shape of the side panels that have a hollow which occupies too much room.

Hope that that had helped.

Best Regards

Om the bench:

And squeezed into one of the smallest ATX case

cool. Right up my alley.

Did you extend the tray and tap new posts or was it sturdy with just the normal ATX posts?

cool but is 350W really enough? I might be building a similar set-up.

Barely enough, according to this site. On the other hand, the PSU has been shown to manage loads of up to 420W (link). So as long as I don't run prime95 and Furmark at the same time, I should be fine.
