My Latest Build

At home I have a mini-ITX box that I use for shared network storage and backups. The power supply started to die on it so I had to replace the case and power supply. I found someone locally that was selling an decent ITX case for cheap and it took ATX power supplies. This turned out to be a good cheap solution so I rebuilt my box. This case has 1 big fan in the front. The CPU is integrated on the motherboard and has no fan. This is a pretty  small motherboard  but it supports DDR3 memory. The front connectors are always the trickiest to get right. The power supply was relatively cheap new . My only wish was that it was modular so I wouldn't have to include all the power cables. All together it wasn't too cramped with decent air flow. It booted up no problem and runs quiet. Overall I'm pretty happy with the build and it should be easy to maintain in the future.
