Sounds like a sweet build

The impact looks like its one wicked board

Asus has a ROG ITX board??!?!? I somehow missed that one, cool! Does this lady know how good she's got it?!?! LOL! That's going to be a sweet system! I was thinking about doing an ITX build for my next one too, so I'll be watching this one.

Yes, she does She reminds me atleast once a week that I spoil her too much. But, She needs a lightweight desktop for university so it's a great chance for me to dive into an ITX build. So far I've got the Case and the CPU block. I'm tempted to order the PSU and get started on sleeving but I need to get my hands on some pink sleeve first... Hm..

[Father Fuzzy]

try silverstone psu with short cable kit

easiest sleeving job and wires are short

[Relikar]

Short Cable kit? Where would I find that? I was planning on snipping the wires to size anyways.

PP05 is for their Strider series, Which Newegg only has a 500w and 600w version. Might get it just for the precut cables though.

I have one in my purpe chimera and i tried it on my st1500 and it work perfectly

[Relikar]

Duly Noted, Thanks Snef. I've never heard much about Silverstone power supplies honestly, I'll take your word for it though.

[snef]

They are really good and really really easy to sleeve because no "y" or split cable, they are alll straight

And very stable psu specially for the price

Im a fan of seasonic but i will take silverstone before corsair, cheaper and never had any issue, i cant say that with corsair

[Father Fuzzy]

i agree snef i am converted corsair/seasonic user over to silverstone

have 5 now and no probs with any of them

[gdesmo]

Strider series is pretty good, they are made by Enhance Electronics in Taiwan and make psu's for other mid-range companies. The hardest part of sleeving a Seasonic is keeping track of the split cables of which there are 4 pairs. Platinum series is the same and btw all the higher end Corsair psu's are made by Seasonic.

[Relikar]

Seasonic was my first choice, couldnt find any that caught my eye though.

[gdesmo]

Platinum 660 is a nice one, i have it and an X-1250. Can't remember the fan ever going on !
