Skylake Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX Build Log
Hi Guys,
Hope it's fine to start a thread log about my next builds. As soon as I start to build them I will update the thread.
My next two rigs are going to be an HTPC Mini-ATX (project Mini-Beast) for the living room hooked to an LG 70" 4K TV, and the other a Micro-ATX for my office at work. (Project Firefly). Project Brawndo (My main build remains in my man cave as my main beast).
I've received most parts but still missing a few. The hardest part will be to try to cram the h100i and he G1 980Ti in the 250D. Why these huge video cards? Well I had them laying around waiting to sell them because I swapped my main build SLI setup to EVGA Hybrids, but finally decided to keep them for my new builds.
Specs below, some pics of the parts I've already received, and 2 pics comparing the size of the Corsair 250d versus de 750d that is my main build.
Any comments, feedback, suggestions please go ahead :)
