[QUOTE="montecristo, post: 491850, member: 75971"] thanks to all the quick responses and advice i came to the following. -the HD for OS/software will be replaced by a 2,5" HD -i will most likely place a slimline bluray drive -the PSU will be replaced by a external supply with internal DC/DC converter -should consider an emergency 120mm fan -for now i will temporary build in the 2 data drives but in the short future i will build a (apparently possible) cheap server (need some details from GIXXER) :) as for the external PSU and DC/DC converter i will need some more help to decide. i can't seem to find any supplier in belgium for this. but i did found a supplier in germany. but i can't seem to find out if this will work for my setup or not. so, i need somebody to help me out with this. i found something at a german supplier [url=http://www.cartft.de/catalog/il/806]M2-ATX-HV 6-32V DC/DC (140 Watt)[/url] maybe ICHESSBLUMEN can help me out with this, as you have experience with this (i would be very gratefull) as for placing the 120mm "emergency" fan, i don't know how i'm gonna fix this. because i wan't to make my case as thin as possible and with adding a fan above the CPU it will add a significant depth to my design. so i need to find a workaround (any suggestions are welcome). or i can make my own passiv cooling for the CPU that could result in a thinner design and possible better cooling. but i have no idea how to make a passiv cooling. any suggestions and tips are again welcome. thank you, montecristo [/QUOTE]
