LS3 - The 6.2L Mini ITX Gaming Machine

[GabrielDrake]

This, I like. :Q__

What an awesome machine, something similar to this is now on my to build list.

I saw the title of this thread minus the LS3 part and I immediately went: "Isn't that the same as an LS3 engine". Then I noticed that's actually the builds name.

 

Anyway, I'll be following this closely, would love to see the Xeon upgrade.

I actually ended up upgrading the i3 to an i5 4570. I don't see the need to change right now, but if I ever have some extra money I'll definitely pick up the Xeon, more threads are always helpful.

 

Right now I'm working on trying to get a sponsorship with Sapphire, maybe they want to lend me a Nano. If not then that'll be the next thing I upgrade to.

dude!  Its so close to the size of all the components just stacked in a pile and it seems like it will function really well (while looking nice and clean at the same time)  I didn't even realize how small it was until I saw the picture with the I/O panel

 

I can't imagine anyone making a smaller case unless it was some special form factor that nobody actually wants.

Nicely done!

Maybe we'll get ITX versions of the new 1070 cards. Let's hope it doesn't run too hot

With a less than 180W TDP I'm sure it won't. But I'm waiting for Polaris cards, I don't like Nvidia.

I'm hoping that AMD can undercut Nvidia and offer 1070 performance closer to $300 like the rumors.

I mean, with a $380-$450 ish price range on 1070s... Shouldn't be toooooo hard, right?

Sorry to necro this thread once again. But as you may have seen the GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC from Gigabyte would fit in this machine, and has a TDP of only 150W. Perfectly meets requirements stated above.

It's too tall

 

I've considered it, if it weren't for the height then I would've gotten one. In fact I would've gotten a 1060 if the power connector were in the front. But that also adds some height unfortunately.

Damn, forgot to check that. What's the max height you can get? How much clearance is there for the power connector? 

Maybe a right angled adapter will make it work.

P.S. I have read over this thread dozens of times, but I fail to remember what the dimensions are for the finished project.

Pretty much no higher than the top of the I/O plate (where you screw the card into).
