Was looking at this for my case first computer, but ended up on Cooler Master HAF 912 because it was a third the price.

I highly recommend all Cooler Master cases, my wife is using this one for her Mini-ITX build.

Here is a post on TechInferno about eGPUs. These guys are super helpful and have loads of tutorials. Still not a project for the faint of heart!

u/CraftyPancake the cooler master is a Cooler Master Elite 130 the 4U case is a Chenbro RM42300-F2-U3

Build Question:

I'm going for an ITX Build. Just a small multimedia PC for the living room and a small emulation box.

So far I have:

Cooler Master Elite 130

Be Quiet Pure Power L8 430W


Intel Pentium 2 x 3,2GHz, Socket 1150, 3MB Cache

Geforce GTX 750Ti

HyperX Savage HX316C9SRK2 DDR3 2x8gb

Asrock B85M ITX

Western Digital Black 1TB, 7200 U/min SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5

Crucial SSD 120 gb, 2,5 ZollSATA III

LG DVD Drive

The things I am most concerned about are loudness, as this PC will be in the living room next to the TV, and temperature.

Can someone recommend a CPU-Cooler with great performance and a suitable size for this ITX build?
Is there anything else I can do/add/buy, to reduce temperature and loudness in this build?

Question: Is its reasonable to stack radiators?

Specifically for the 1070 seahawk (aka, h60), on top of an h80i. The computer is stuck inside of an elite 130, so room and cooling is rather uncomfortable. My 770 Windforce thats in it now gets thermal limited.

My alternative was thinking about moving it back into an elite 110 and sticking Gigabyte's itx version in it. Just to make a high end, but cute gaming PC. I have no clue how the thermals will end up on that card though. Likely to be a nightmare.

Maybe it's the affiliate link, it looks like it's in stock here;

1. Thinking of getting a mini-ITX motherboard. Not planning on doing OC or anything fancy. What's the cheapest reliable mini-ITX mobo that will fit an i5-4440?
   
   
2. Will this PSU fit in this case?

I think this is smaller, but it is longer... http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Mini-ITX-Midnight-RC-130-KKN1/dp/B00DJ6A88G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421785203&sr=8-1&keywords=elite+130

Yea, I would like to roll my own. I had a stick of RAM die on me last week and it occurred to me that my pc is going on eight years old (although the ram is closer to seven). Still considering whether I should bother with the warranty on it. My current build is a mid-tower and I would like to go smaller. I was thinking of going down to micro atx, but the cases really aren't that much smaller, so I've started looking at mini itx. I've barely even started looking, but I kinda like this case. And I'm also waiting for that ram price gouging to subside a bit.

Here you go. note i did get the moniter on a going out a buisness sale at office depot for $120 rather than $250 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HDBfBP

Also the case is not on that list but it is a mini ITX: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ6A88G/?tag=pcpapi-20

I guess that puts it closer to $700, my bad

Just going to add some more thoughts here...

I was concerned that my power supply might not fit in the case, but pcpartpicker lists my current power supply and says there's no compatibility issues with the Cooler Master Elite 130 case I selected.

According to the Amazon spec table, the Cooler Master Elite 130 case only supports one 5.25" device, so I will only be able to use either the DVD drive or the Blu-ray drive -- not both. Probably not a deal-breaker; I rarely use the Blu-ray drive.

The specs are a little confusing to interpret, but it sounds like I should be able to fit both my SSD (a 2.5" drive) and my HD (a 3.5" drive).

Cooler Master Elite 130, if you use pliers to make space for a third row. I fit 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs in there, as well as Radeon 7. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ6A88G/

Regarding the monitor, you could get one of those tiny, portable ones like this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computer-Monitors/Loncevon-Portable-Computer-Raspberry-Headphone/B06XQJVXHL/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1542905456&sr=8-12&keywords=tiny+monitor

That would let you configure things and run the software, at least, though it's not a very good solution for actual coding.

When I got my VR rig, I took a serious look at the ASUS gaming laptops. The specs look nice, and I'd put more trust in ASUS than DELL (I've been screwed over by DELL all too many times). In the end I put together a mini-ITX in a very small, but not tiny case:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Computer-Mini-ITX-RC-130-KKN1/dp/B00DJ6A88G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1542905779&sr=8-2&keywords=cooler+master+elite

It's big enough for a full-size graphics card and liquid cooling on the CPU. Cooling (and price) is the main reason I went for the mini-ITX form factor. It's still reasonably portable, but you can add fans and coolers into it if your CPU runs hot.

Amazon has it for $44.14 before a $10 rebate making it $34.14 for those that don't get taxed in Amazon.

Ah that does make sense. Thanks.

Edit:
I've chosen this case out of the part picker list (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DJ6A88G/?tag=pcp0f-21). It has good reviews and it has a nice design. What mobo should I get for it though? Also have you got any idea how my RX 480 would fit? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Radeon-RX480-Polaris-Graphics/dp/B01JJNSW58/ref=sr_1_16?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1473194155&sr=1-16&keywords=RX+480

Amazon seems to be have some deals

Also i would take a look at /r//buildapcsales they have a lot of good stuff and it updates pretty frequently.

Hey there everyone, right now I've got a completed build which started as a Cyberpower prebuild, which I've slowly upgraded over time and right now all that remains from that is the RAM and case.

I'm looking to upgrade both, but right now I'm looking for a new case. I've got a few in mind, I'm just wondering if my parts would fit inside? I LOVE the look of a smaller cube-ish case, but if my parts won't fit then obviously it won't work out.

I'm looking at the Cooler Master Elite 130 and Corsair Carbide Series Air 240. Alternatively if those don't work, I'd like to get the Rosewill NIGHTHAWK117. I got a NZXT Hue lighting system the other day and have it in my current case. Can I transfer that to my new one? I'm hoping the 3m will still be sticky enough. I appreciate ANY help.

Here is my current part list, IK that it's missing stuff, but rest assured I've got everything I need and a working build. I couldn't find my HD or RAM on the old listing I bought the computer from, its just a generic 1tb HD and two sticks of 4gb RAM.

That case looks swish, I was thinking about the Cooler Master Elite but that one looks a little nicer, which is kind of a big thing for me 'cause it's going to be sat under the TV in the living room for what I hope will be a long time.

Is there no need for a graphics card at all with the home streaming? Any idea how much power it takes to decode the signal from the other pc? If so, this could be cheaper than I thought!

I'm on highschool wifi so i can't take a look at the build in your current case yet, but I'm in the process of moving my build into a small format, I went with the coolermaster elite 130, because its cheap and should have the space to fit all of the components, including gpu's up to at least 12 inches(and then a bit from a review I watched) https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Elite-130-Mini-ITX/dp/B00DJ6A88G
My case is arriving today so if you want to ask any specific questions about it feel free to pm me later today.
