I know it's gonna be tight! Awesome, thanks. And the Silverstone is really only 12" deep? It sounds like I'll be doing almost the exact same build as you, minus the TV tuner since I already have an HD Homerun Prime that I'll hook up to the home server and share over ethernet. RE: My First HPTC Build - Rick P. - 2013-01-09 12" sounds right. My cabinet is about 16" deep too and I have room for a mess of cables behind my GD04. If you're planning to build a higher-end system and put it in a cabinet you really need to consider how to get the heat out of the back of the cabinet. Standard cabinet vents or slots won't cut it since the intake fans on the side of the GD04 causes short-circuiting of hot exhaust air back inside the case. My quad-core CPU and lowly gt-520 card could drive temperatures up and increase fan noise when doing cpu-intensive work before I added a cabinet fan. I went with a couple of these - you guys will need something bigger but you get the idea. http://www.coolerguys.com/840556087922.html.

RE: My First HPTC Build - MultiMediaman - 2013-01-09 Seems like every other manufacturer who uses this nvidea chip, with the exception of gigabit, makes a card that does not go above the mounting bracket height. I suppose this would be advantagus for gaming. Would be interested in actual performance difference between this and the built in GPU. |
