Go to solution Solved by Butterfish,

Finally some news on the project! - well, it's not good news.. 

 

I want to first apologize to everyone who were following this thread and expecting progress..

 

Project Toaster is sadly over, due to my lack in time and interest in the build. It was a fun ride, but i realized that the case was just too much of a hazzle and with all the setbacks i had with months and months of waiting for parts, i just couldn't bare it anymore. The toaster has gotten a new owner - one of my close friends. He needed a small chassis for carrying around, and i thought it would be best to give it to someone who would appreciate it alot more. I have therefore decided to switch back to ATX for now.

 

I can't thank you guys enough for all the support and replies on this thread. Who knows - maybe i will come up with something new? ;) I will keep you updated.

Nice i haven't looked for any reviews of the SX500-LG yet, I might have to do that tonight but, tbh. I'm really happy with my SX600-G I dont have any issues with noise and its on an open bench right next to me.

There are no reviews yet. I honestly just hoping for the best. This is my last shot!

The only one I know if is the Sweclockers: http://www.sweclockers.com/recension/20036-chieftec-sfx-500gd-c-och-silverstone-sx500-lg-formfaktorn-sfx-l-anlander

 

A few users have chimed in the SX500-LG thread over on [H] and it seems most people are satisfied with it: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1834746

 

One user complained of coil whine but that could be because of some combination of his hardware and the PSU. I think one other guy said it wasn't that quiet but didn't elaborate much.

if he decides to change the 970 for a 290x ... maybe :P

You can always get a USB toaster at the end.

I'm doing a custom story as a school project :D

 

And i've hit a giant wall with my build again.. It appears that lian li sent me the wrong psu bracket. It's totally identical to my V2 bracket, and looks nothing like @MrSuperb 's bracket (he posted a pic on his own build)

 

Going to contact ncases and rant. My GPU doesn't fit in it now... FML

 

EDIT: I think the gods are playing games with me

 

Pictures for reference:

Please don't rant at them, Taiwan Post had the proverbial disgruntled employee who screwed up pretty much all the orders he was in charge of for a month (including many of the M1 panel kits).

 

Not sure on the PSU bracket issue though, the M1's themselves weren't supposed to be affected by that issue but you're not the first this has happened to.

 

You may check that you got a v3 M1, the little plate on the back should say v3 and there should be an additional set of motherboard standoffs below the standard 4 for the smaller mATX boards.

Hope it gets sorted out for you soon, but yes don't go guns blazing it wont help, not without given the opportunity to make it right first. Everyone makes mistakes, I certainly do, i'm sure you have as well at some time.
