Look awesome!!

Cutting it a bit close with the psu, but great looking build.

Cool build, especially since I recently built a 1500$ mini ITX rig myself. How tall is the case though? I don't like mini ITX cases that are too tall, doesn't feel like 'mini' when its almost a small tower size. Prefer shoe box style like the Elite 130. I am jelous of the 780 Ti...

Does anyone know what the advantage to upgrading to a 200mm fan in the front would be for this pc?

Unless I am wrong it is intake like the H100, so would making it bigger mean cooler (at the same rpm) or quieter (at lower rpm with same air intake due to size increase). Am I right? Thanks!

Love compact power very nice

I'm going to be ordering a very similar build next week. I'm waiting for my bonus check to come from work.

Gets up and applauds Another amazing build! keep them coming!

Put the panels on without testing it. Something is going to be broken.

Looks quite nice but will it blend?

I'm thinking of building something similar. What are your temps like with for the CPU and GPU? Are they overclocked at all?

Love this! Only change I would make would be to orient the RAD fans as output, and swap that front fan for a 200mm intake, as well as switch the rear fan, keeping positive pressure but instead of expelling the heat from the rad into the case, it would be sent out, bringing in fresh air. I (think) this would lower overall temps.

It's an impressive build, I'll admit that much. But I much preferred the "Steam box" you guys worked on a little while ago. The Steam Box build had a larger sense of portability to it, much like consoles (as in you could put it in a suitcase/briefcase and take it with you on a trip).

Wheres the power supply located? i couldn't see it in any of the pictures.

Beautiful build, Philip. I'm not able to watch the video, so pardon me if this is addressed, but is the CPU overclocked? If not, is there any other reason to have the water cooling?

I like the build, especially with the mini-ITX case. However I'm still looking forward to some low end budget builds, $500-$700 range perhaps? Nice job on the great looking build!

Nice build, but that small of a PSU is just making me worry about it. Under HEAVY load with maybe a mild OC, it will blow. EVGA even recommends at least a 600 Watt.

I'm usually not a fan of ITX cases but WOW! Looks very spacious and easy to work with, might have to try one!

Can't wait 'till next month's $700 build!

I have a similar build on queue for August!

I have 1 question for you , you built this computer and had parts that are not on the parts list to compare is there a reason for doing that I also noticed that you build with some video cards and they also are not on the parts list??

I'm seriously considering buying this exact combo (and adding another 8GB RAM). However, colleagues have advised to go AMD due to Mantle being on the way, but of course we also have NVIDIA's G-Sync en-route. Is this just a VHS vs Betamax battle again, or is it really worth investing in either of those technologies at this stage?

Thanks!

Right, my build options have been decided and the parts ordered. This lot should be arriving at my workplace tomorrow: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/johnnyfireblade/saved/473l

As I mentioned higher up in the comments that I was doing a similar build. Well, here it is. http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NU5

I love how fast it boots up and everyhing is just so snappy. I really want to thank you for posting this video. It gave me to confidence to go with this build.

This thing looks like it could generate it's own power :P

Philip you of course are a lot more of an expert than I am at building PCs in general but I personally think that the BitFenix Prodigy looks a LOT better than this case and that it should give you more clearance after installing the H100i. Just my personal opinion :)

I think the photos give me my answer, but would I be out of luck on swapping the motherboard for an ASUS Maximus VI Impact but keeping the radiator setup?

I really prefer that board, but it looks like the top daughter board on it will get in the way of the radiator.

I wish I had watched this video before doing my 250D build. I too found out the hard way it doesn't have enough depth for the H105, only the H100i. After building a new beastly Haswell desktop, for the cost of the 250D, the H100i, and an Asus Z77 Mini-ITX mobo, I was able to convert my old Ivy Bridge desktop into a capable LAN rig. Really fantastic case, and I'm comfortably running a delidded 4.7GHz i5-3570K within it using the H100i along with a slightly overclocked GTX 670 4GB. Great build.

looks good, but i figured out an equivalent for over $200 less. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3t332

Dumb question, will the 550W power supply handle overclocking of the cpu well without any problems? I'm not that familiar with this particular situation.

2nd question, would bumping the processor up to the i7 equivalent worth it or no?

Next I would like to see a $500 build based off of the AMD FX-6300, NZXT Source 210, and GTX 750. I see a lot of builds like that on PC websites and I'm also doing one similar to that soon. Some pointers would definitely be nice. :)

If you wanted to keep on completely on air, where would you put the fans and which ones would be intake versus exhaust?

Take note of what mobo you are using. I have the Asus Deluxe and the H110 cooler will NOT fit with the fans on the top side of the radiator as they are installed here. It will fit on the bottom side (which is, incidentally, how Corsair recommends as its default)

I found it wouldn't really fit with the tubes on the back side - I could get it to fit on the front side but that renders the 5.25 bay unusable unless you don't mind really pushing down. I opted for no 5.25 bay so no issues.

I would recommend sticking with the ASROCK to get this configuration built.

Is MOBO compatibility not working for anyone else?

Is there a place too put a wired/wireless network adapter?

What's the best optical drive for the corsair 250D

Is there a chance for same GPU but with ACX to work in this case? or it will be too hot inside the case?

I bought this exact build and I have put it together...but it won't power up. I've pulled everything out of the case, tried different combinations of connected components.

Can the PSU run by itself? The motherboard should power up even if only connected to the PSU, right? I've done the basic troubleshooting. I'm pretty sure I have the right connections in the right places.

No idea where to go from here.

I'm not a huge fan of your PSU selection and H100 mounting position (it looks bent in an awkward angle) but... I really appreciate your video since it helped me build my case.

Bumps up your 7/10 to a 9.5/10.

Wow, looks great! Do you think you could take a couple pictures with the lights a bit dimmer to really show the GeForce logo?

I built my own version of this for those who are looking to save money, but not sacrifice power. Here it is... http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/silvatwinkie/saved/45r7

It is a nice build and looks nice. However, I am a bit dismayed at the cheap Corsair knockoff of the CaseLabs S3. It doesn't look exactly the same, but as the video went on and more of the case was viewable, the similarities were shamefully undeniable. It even sounds "tinny" when being moved around. Kudos to the builder for using a mat and anti-static wristband. Finally someone who understands the negative effects of static electricity on electrical components.

That is awesome, next build for me is definitely going to be a mini.

for whoever is interested, i planned out a cheeper build with the same case in at $810 http://pcpartpicker.com/user/uh20/saved/3YMl

a $600 build is also possible with an amd APU, but you could choose a smaller case for that though.

HTPC build would be pretty funny.

Try having a strict colour scheme in a build (make it different, like black/green).
