That's the Hadron Air, no?  It seems like cable management would be tough in that case but yours looks good.  

I love seeing small ITX systems become more popular over the last few years.

yeah, theres not too much room. lots or removing and reinstallation when I first put it together. plus the power supply isnt modular. but I was able to hide a good amount of the wiring in the drive cage and just mounted the ssd over it.

think i'm gonna make this into a hackintosh and build in a different case though. the power supply and reference cooler can pretty loud, especially sitting right next to it on the desk.
 
Wondering if I could get some help.

I've been getting some random crackle/popping sounds from my speakers. It happens maybe like every 10-15 seconds, it's real quick. I thought my speakers were broken, so I bought some new ones (2.1).

I found that I kept getting the same problems. I plugged the speakers into my phone and Macbook, no problems at all. So I'm assuming it's a problem with the onboard SC on my motherboard? It happens when I plug it in in the rear and the front.

What's interesting is that it went away when I installed a Windows 10 update. However, it came like 3 days later. It's also that comes and goes. Like it'll go away for a couple hours then come back.

Should I look into an external sound card?

Whats up NT PC Folks. I had a quick question, regarding cases. I am looking to build a Small Form Factor. I am looking to do it in the Corsair Air 240. Anyone have experience with this case? Can anyone recommend another SFF case of similar or smaller size that is good?

My goal is the least desktop space possible. WIll be on the desktop so the smaller the better. Light gaming, but mainly daily use like Office Suite, Design programs for work (AutoCAD, Illustrator, PS) and just videos. With Gaming being the lowest on the list.

Occasional Video Editing as well...

yeah, the power supply is proprietary. though people have put other sfx power supplys in their builds.

my setup right now is a i5 4460 and GTX 970
 
Not everyone has an SLI motherboard and multicard setups isnt for everyone

I am torn between rx 480 and 1060
I dont game beyond 1080p so those cards are perfect for me but the prices of last gen cards are falling fast.

While I agree, $520.00 for dual 1060s would have been ideal for entry PC gamers. Would give them tons of power.

What Mobo did you go with? Man I seen there was a Hydro...tempting to build a watercooled setup. I have an AIO watercooled setup and it isn't silent at all which is why I am hesitant.

mobo is the asrock h97-m itx


imo the hydro is kind of weird looking cause of the taller profile.

here's the best looking water build I've seen in a air

Bout to build my first gaming pc after being a console gamer my whole life. Would like some input on a good motherboard.


Right now I've decided I want to build around an i5-6600k and the nvidia 1060.

The motherboard I had on my list was the Asus Maximus viii Hero. Is there something else that I can use that's similar but cheaper?

Tryna see if I can save on price on some of the parts.

Any help would be appreciated!
