Uuhm.... i'm sorry, but for a Mini-ITX build.... why wouldn't you just go with a full water cooling system, or a self-contained water cooler from Corsair and the like?

Size & noise. Fan noise under game or conversion load is fine, otherwise I enjoy the silence of mITX. For this particular case, water cooling is not an option.

well... i'd say that's your bad for using such a small chassis... be it purchased separately or actually purchased through Digital Storm. Noise wise..... i wouldn't exactly call a single 140mm fan "loud" by remotely any standard. As i've said before... aside from the 3 fans on my video card (that shut off when not needed... thank you, eVGA), and the PSU fan (which also shuts off when not needed), i have two fans in my case. a 230mm fan up front, and a single 140mm fan on the radiator of my Corsair Hydro H90. I even have the 230mm fan set to turn off when the CPU is under a specific temperature. Only fan that runs constantly is the one on the rad.

This would be good for one of them portable desktop computers that can do gaming as well as video editing if you are one them guys/gals who go to them conventions like CES etc and want to post videos on what you are covering after you are done filming for the day.

well... i'd say that's your bad for using such a small chassis... QUOTE] Not my bad, it's what I want. I'm willing to pay for my toys. I've upgraded everything in it, I have a 600W Bronze PSU I need to put in it. I suppose that's the market; Enthusiasts who want the ITX form factor, and as much power as possible in that space.

Still... you can go compact without going THAT compact.... still allowing fantastic hardware and great cooling.
