[Case Gallery] Return of Mini - retired. check mini 2.0

Mussels · Nov 28, 2007

To view this case mod, go here.

Specs:
FX-62 @ 3GHz (TR Ultra-90 w/ panaflo 92mm fan)
Asus Mobo, from HP system. NF 6150 chipset, AM2.
2GB DDR2-800 ram
Inno3D 8800GT 512MB (bios mod, 740MHz/2000MHz DDR)
Accelero S1 cooler on the 8800GT.
160GB IDE drive (Samsung)
Auzentech 7.1 X-plosion sound card
DTV2000 H Digital TV tuner
520W OCZ powerstream PSU
Silverstone TJ08 mATX case
External/USB 160GB drive (samsung SATA-II) and USB 2.0 DVD-RW drive.

Mods:
You try squishing it all in a matx case

Lots of creative wiring was done, extra cooling all over, fans modded to 5/7V or temp controlled.

This system runs a 40" HDTV when its at home, and goes to lans on the weekends. Pretty much spare parts thrown together, that i added a good CPU and video card to, so that it was gaming capable.

That's a total sleeper machine. No dvd player is bad.

Mussels · Nov 28, 2007

Benchmarks:

Superpi 1M: 29.96s
3dmark 05 15,407

3dmark 06 10,290
Breakdown of results:
SM2.0 - 4753
SM3.0 - 4989
CPU - 2192

Request a benchmark, and I'll edit it in later.

No DVD player is a requirement, or the PSU overheats. Its connected via gigabit to my storage machine btw, which has a few terabytes of anime on it

it has the US B one if needed, but the 40" TV also has an Xbox connected that handles the DVD's fine... so it doesn't hurt.

erocker · Nov 28, 2007

How many V's do you have going through that FX-62?

1.425, mobo has no controls (generic asus board from a compaq system) so its done via software (RMCLOCK)

oh and what does 'sleeper' mean?

tzitzibp · Nov 28, 2007

worthless is not

actually is a powerful machine in a (no more room) box...
hardware 8/10
case 5/10 (maybe change it for a bigger or a lanbox tube)
cables and mods...??? 6/10

Thats pretty cool, good gpu airflow for a little case too, shame they dont make a 2-bay scythe kama panel, it would trim it up nicely
8/10

HookeyStreet · Nov 28, 2007

You really need to fill those front bays

Mussels · Nov 28, 2007

i was looking for a 2 bay mesh as has been said, the problem is it lines up with the PSU's 80mm fan, so any IDE cables totally blocks the PSU fan.

The case was good once... but it failed. got the crap scratchd out of it in the boot of my car

if anyone knows of something worth putting in there, i'd go for it

atm the system runs quite well (28c idle, 56C load CPU - dont know GPU yet) so anything that helps the looks without killing the cooling, is a go

(DVD burners are an issue, as the PSU power lead for the ATX connector blocks the molex power to the drives. i need to find a shorter drive, or a 90 degree power cable)

InnocentCriminal · Dec 1, 2007

Isn't this case a TJ0B not 8?

I won't vote as I don't see any point - this case has so much potential and you've made it look horrible. At least you tried to do some cable management, but still. Why you posted that I don't know.

Such a wonderful case, just you've made it so ugly. Still, excellent OC and all that.

Mussels · Dec 4, 2007

update!
a fwe comments: i've made it look less horrible. i was moving house, so it took longer than expected to find the 'missing' parts (and the camera)

Innocent: sure its a TJ0B? i swear its the 08 model. it was posted because it wouldnt fit in my sig

so i needed a link - and the gallery was convenient. its also a lot of modded hardware in a very tiny case (cooling, OC'd, fan modded PSU) and one hell of a lan rig. fair point on the ugly, after so many comments i fixed that.

Two new pics are up - one showing its real home (with the TV, wii and xbox) and the other a closeup of the now less fugly front

Mussels · Dec 23, 2007

another bump/update.

I've modded the GT with an accelero S1 and done Tattyones bios mod.

Herse a GPU-Z of the card post flash: 3dmark o5: 15987

almost a 1000 point boost

the OCZ PSU isnt the problem for me, the 2x80mm fans are. damn thing gets no air.

I built a variant of this for a friend, with a nice Q6600 G0 in it at 3Ghz

if you can make the hardware fit, the 2x120 setup really cools these cases well.

No, my mistake. It is a TJ08 the B suffix is to say that's black. Makes sense really doesn't it. Have you made anymore improvements to it such as stealthing the front drive bays?
