Mini ITX Gaming RIG - Water Cooled - Steam Machine Rival

DysonXP
Level 7
Hey fellow rog's, been working on a MINI ITX gaming rig over the past few months, I tried to get a good balance of as much power possible, in as small of a space as possible, but not compromising on what is a quiet and cool operating pc, and this is what I have come up with.

See Pic

SSD'S are stored along side the graphics card, PSU gets placed at the top of the case, venting hot air out, and blu ray ROM with some blue tack rests on top of the cpu cooler radiator, all and all one compact system 🙂

Specs

Intel Core i7 4770K
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB
MAXIMUS VI IMPACT
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
119GB Samsung SSD 840 PRO (Primary)
476GB Samsung SSD 840 PRO (Secondary)
Corsair H80i - Corsair SP120 High Performance
Silverstone SG06BB
Silverstone SST-ST45SF 450W Power Supply
Samsung SN-506BB Slim Internal Blu-ray & DVD Writer

I've hope my PC is of interest to fellow Mini ITX enthusiasts, and while I have been looking at the forums, links to fellow mini itx rigs would be sweet! would also be happy to answer any questions regarding my build or to take further photos 🙂

First post, thanks for reading 🙂

Very clean on the inside. Well done. You should upgrade the case to the Corsair Obsidian 250D though. Best-looking ITX cube case ever, with lots of nice features.
Say hi to the next generation.

This looks great. Maybe do some mods for the outside of the case?

Very sweet machine. I would love to see more pics. Fellow Mini ITX enthusiast here. Your build looks similar to mine (same case, and mobo I mean). I had an issue with the cables to my front USB ports, they pressing up against my radiator, did you notice that or have you had any trouble here? Here's a link to my build in case you wanna check it out...http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?43367-Mini-ITX-Water-cooled
