Hi mate how's you?
I'm too busy with work these days, my free time seems to be in short supply!
Hopefully the new i7's will bring a few people back on the scene?
My old P4 is still going only HD two fans and one PSU which I blew up myself apart from that its still going

I'm not sure you would call them changes for the better.

However I do feel that the site is more enjoyable to browse, even if the member count is low.

What system are you looking for?

[Clipperjay]

Hey Tino long time no speak!
Quite around here, but hey still usefull. I still think most people think they need big towers when a P chasis is big enough 
I'm looking towards a i5 or i7, but as allways I'm behind in tech and not sure if SFF is laggin behind and I should just buy a barebones and use alternative Mini Mother boards?

Hi Clip, welcome back. 

Enough choice to make your head hurt.

Lian got some nice small cases, like:
mATX:

or

Mini-Itx:

Or Silverstone (mATX):

Hey Sala I love the TJ08-E its about £80.00 pounds so what Mobo board,PSU etc.. would you suggest to go with that?
 
I like this MOFO board Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 H67 MotherboardIntel Core i7 2600K Unlocked S1155, Sandy Bridge, Quad Core, 3.4GHz GPU 850Mhz 8MB Cache 95W Retail

£80.00 Chassis
£80.00 MOFO
£240.00 CPU

[Salamander]

I would pick a mATX board with that case, for example the MSI H67MA-E35 or ASRock Z68M/USB3 (that 1 got Graphical AMI UEFI BIOS).

Looks like since you picked the K version you want to overlock it, maybe use it with a Antec Kuhler 620 water cooler (it's easy to install).



For PSU not sure, you ain't using it for games I think, maybe the SilverStone Strider Plus ST50F-P.

You also getting a SSD? (1 of the best upgrades you can do!) and memory is dirt cheap these days, for example: Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600, about €50. (better get the low profile 1, if you do:

[Clipperjay]

Hey Sal thats a nice bit of kit you have there!
Have you got more better res pictures of your rig mate?
I've been mulling over the hardware and have not made any firm decisions as of yet!
Do you think the H100 sealed water kit would fit in the Silverstone chassis?
The issue I think is the RAD & fans being placed directly above the case, where the PSU sits next too?
Would like to test air buffer from a cross section of that chassis from the 180mm fans from left to right, then heat from the RAD & PSU comming out from the top? It looks like it could do with another 120mm opening from the top to accomodate the RAD Fans? You thoughts compared to Antec Kuhler 620 water cooler?
I thought that the PSU they suggested was three times the cost of the componets LOL? I wonder if the 350W Shuttle one would fit in there???
Criteria..... You are right no gaming as such and lots of Ocking is a must!
I could Phase cool it, but they don't really get that hot @ 95W-100W current Qcores.  
Jay
    

[Salamander]

It's not my case  

But I looked on a discussion forum about this case, and came across that antec cooler.
http://www.overclock.net/computer-cases/1068487-silverstone-tj08-e-owners-club.html

Don't think that H100 will fit, H80 should be ok, here a picture from the TJ08-E case and H80:


That antec is more silent and cheaper? but the H80 cools better, from what I have read.

I thought that the PSU they suggested

who suggested? which PSU?

Air cooler should also be ok, if you want to save some money.

Shuttle PSU would not fit I think, better just get a 400-500w standard ATX PSU with short and removable cables.

[Clipperjay]

Hey Sal I don't own one yet either I'm calling this window shopping untill my mind is set on the right bits

http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=303&area=
It was the 1000w unit recomended from silverstone themselves, £200 odd pounds for it, sounds a bit over kill to me?
I want to do more film editing and watch Blue ray films so the GPU will be geared for media rather than gaming.
I could opt for wireless net working built into MOFO board, but not going mobile with it, unless I watch some media down stairs on the Big TV that requires streaming?
 
I thought the price difference wasn't much for the H80-H100 hence I thought mounting the bigger rad at the top of the Chassis instead what the other chap had done with the H80. I would mod the case to take four 120mm  two push and two pull, but not sure about air buffer from the 180mm fan?

[Salamander]

I don't think more fans would help much, it's a small area, and you don't got a hot gpu.
H80 should be more then enough with that inbuild 180mm Air Penetrator fan and yes the flow of air would probaly go for the worse with more fans, you dont need air going down or up. if you use that H80, make sure it's blowing air outside and that 180mm air penetrator inside, looks like a cool setup then!

That inbuild gpu on that i7 2600K is good enough for watching blu-ray/media and no extra heat.

But if you really want to overlock good, don't get the cheapest bord, that ASrock bord I mentioned for example, is good for overclocking.

And yes that 1000w would be really overkill!!
They also got a nice fanless PSU, but it's not the cheapest sollution.

Did some research, the Nexus RX-5300, seems like a nice silent, good performing and not expensive PSU.

[Clipperjay]

Yeah I kinda of find things hard to work out unless its in front of me, but have a rough idea the CFM comming from that unit.
Ill look into those suggestions though thanks mate!
I've found this it might be of interest to you and others.

[Salamander]

It's sure a nice case! Small, silent&cool, nice looks and not too expensive.

There is also an online review, seems exactly the same as that paper 1 from you:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2011/09/07/silverstone-tj08-e-review/1

But I'm not really upgrading anytime soon I think.

[Clipperjay]

Yeah Sal my old rig has served me well the issues are now that if anything major fails the cost of parts would be better spent on a new rig, by the time I keep on fixing and moding the old gal I reckon a newer system would be cheaper from scratch. Reliabilty of new hardware...... thats the big question 
 

[Salamander]

Don't worry too much, it will most likely a much better experience when you got your new rig, sure there is always a change something doesn't work, but the change is small.
A bigger change imo, that you regret that you didn't upgraded sooner!

Btw I said use that onboard gpu on cpu but when your overclock it, you can't use it I believe.
