FS: Cooler Master mBTX Case and mBTX Motherboard - $75

**Doctor Feelgood**

The BTX form factor offers great cooling potential and super quiet operation... This one was used as an HTPC, but it could be adapted to work as a carputer. It is fairly compact, attractive, quiet, and not overly power hungry...

The case... Cooler Master CM Media B260 mBTX Case with power supply.

You get the case which is in great condition, the motherboard which is also perfect, and a 275W power supply. 275W may seem low to some, but it handled a dual core 3.2GHz processor, 2GB DDR2, a hard drive, and DVDRW drive just fine for me.

I do not have the BTX backplate for the rear of the case, so that area is open. Maybe eBay can help with that for a few $$$.

Only thing special between ATX and BTX is the CPU cooler, so you will need a BTX cooler!

Price - $75 + shipping! I ship FedEx Ground with insurance, please PM with ZIP for rate (It will be about as cheap as USPS Priority).

Do you know if this mobo & chipset will support the Core Duo 2 CPUs?

Don't think so... Official page shows this:

http://support.intel.com/design/motherbd/cz/cz_proc.htm

But it also mentioned support for 1066MHz FSB, which none on that page have...

Confused

I ran it with a D840 and D805.
