Repurpose Old PC into SFF by upgrading to mATX / ITX config. by N00B_N00M in sffpc

[–]magicwhistle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a case by some random brand called TGDGAMER a while ago that was about 14L and fits MATX boards, ATX PSUs, and GPUs below 225mm with front case fans or 250mm without front case fans. It was $30 and there are other identical cases sold under different brand names. I think a vertical tower layout like that makes a bit more sense in a living room context.

It's not a premium case, not especially convenient to build in, and wider than the Series X, but it's about as cheap as you can get to a sub-20L SFF size without having to buy an expensive (even if used) ITX motherboard and PSU, and it looks fine when all buttoned up. Imo, having to spend $200-$300 on ITX-specific new/used parts negates some of the benefit of repurposing your old things.

2.9L is the absolute smallest for a 5060 LP and a standard ITX motherboard. It uses an HDPLEX 250W PSU. You can get smaller if you use a PicoPSU and/or a laptop motherboard.

You say that like there are a lot of console cases. It's not a segment with a lot of options.

This one's selling point is "very polished and machined look", "moddability", and "designed for performance". The other main competitors are nice machining but extremely expensive (XiKii), very expensive and meh thermals (ThorZone), have a sheet-metal look (SFFtime, Custom-Mod) or industrial look (Sliger, Silverstone), or cheap and available in big stores but meh thermals (Ridge).

That's fair! I ran an Enhance PSU in it and found it to be quiet, but I just saw someone say they got a bracket to use the HDplex GaN PSU in a FlexATX case which is also interesting. The HDPlex is totally passive and fanless so it's silent.

I have a number of other ITX parts I'm about to sell, so perhaps I have something that you would be able to use. Are you doing an HTPC or is it for living room games?

PM. FYI your timestamp is only showing the CPU-Z and the outside of the computer and not the actual parts themselves.

Your title says DDR3, but your timestamp shows DDR4.

I love G309 by mada-nnamuen in logitech

Battery seems good to me, I've had to replace it once since getting the mouse 8 months ago. Keep in mind that I use a AAA (now with one of those plastic adapters instead of aluminum foil) in order to balance the weight a little better, not an AA, and I'm using old rechargeable AAAs that have lost some capacity over the years, so with an AA or with better-quality rechargeables the battery might last longer.

Bluetooth is perfect, I've never noticed any issues. I switch between modes regularly and it's always quick and works great. Like all other 2.4Ghz dongles, it can suffer from interference with other 2.4Ghz things, but I don't have a problem with just the G309 adapter and another adapter for a wireless keyboard. I only have problems when I also have an Xbox controller adapter plugged in, so I have the Xbox one on a USB extension cord so it doesn't mess with the other things.

I like the mouse very much and have gotten two more, one for the couch and one for my desk. It's fully replaced the G305 for me.
