I’m starting to feel like Dr. Frankenstein, as the friend I built the NF7-S system for has decided he would like a micoATX gaming system “like mine”….that being either DreamCatcher v2.0 (less wc’ing) or Yoda’s SMN. So here be his system (Silver Bullet) specs:
Case: Ultra MicroFly
PSU: Ultra 600W (from a MX6) [update later]
Mobo: Biostar Tf 7025-M2
CPU: AMD 4400+ Brisbane (CAA4C 0725WPDW) w/ zalman CNPS8700
GPU: MSI NX8800GT OC (Dual Slot version)
Memory: 2 x 1024 Corsair CM2X1024 – 6400C4
HDD: TBD
Optical Drive #1: Lite-On SATA DVD-R #DH-16D2S-04
Optical Drive #2: Lite-On SATA DVD-RW+ #LH-20A1S
FDD: Mitsumi Card Reader/ Writer + Floppy
Here you see most of the parts…..
Actual case modding will be very little. Will take out the front and rear fan grills, drill some cooling holes in the face plate like YsSMN, and then see what goes from there. One interesting thing we’re going to try is to use an 80mm Tt SmartFan 2 in the front spot and control its speed via the system fan header that is on the mobo. It if works like my nView the speed of the fan will be controlled by the mobo’s system temp sensor…..should be interesting!
The only chassis mod is the usual “remove factory tamped fan grills” thing. Don’t know how many MicroFly builders are reading this, but counting the MX6 this will be my third with this chassis. I have always had issues with the PSU flexing the case and now think I know why. By removing the stamped 120mm fan grill a lot of the rigidity in the back side of the case has disappeared. In the “I wonder if this would help” department I’m not going to mount the PSU until after the 120mm fan and finger grill are installed. In the first two builds the PSU has been in place without the fan and grill giving some support and that may have been what “sprung” the case.
These “before” and “after” pics from DreamCatcher shows how much metal “disappears”.
