The point of this build was really out of fun.
Before this i was using a GD-65 board in a Switch 810 with a AX1200i. But as i was messing around with old computers to make a file server. I decided to just buy the parts to build a dedicated one (will be media pc to though). As i do not yet have the money for a cpu for it, i decided to move my main system into this case for the lols.

(Previous System) ^

Please excuse the photos, the s4 camera is pretty meh,
If anyone is thinking about building this system with similar parts id recommend get the CX500m instead, i didn't buy it because i was worried about clearance issues. But there is plenty of room.

I know the psu is pretty close with the i7 and the 780ti but All psu calcs say this system will only consume 470w at most.

 

 

I love EVGA

500W for a 780 + i7? Don't you think that's cutting it a bit close?

What are you asking about the heat? How hot it gets? Also, yes its a very small case but it can fit everything you need inside it. I mean being able to install 4 hardrives and 2 side mounted ssds with a gpu installed is pretty impressive in a itx.
