Silverstone FT03 Mini-ITX open. A thing of beauty...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes, you get inspired when you see a new piece of hardware, and you simply MUST get it. This time, I have fallen in love with a computer case, the SilverStone FT03 Mini-ITX.<\/p>\n

Keep checking back. I’ll post updates as I spec out the system and build it. In the meantime, check out this in-depth review <\/a>over at Anandtech and watch this video tour<\/a> from Hexus on YouTube.<\/p>\n

5\/29\/2012 Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve specced out the new components for my mini-ITX system (getting so excited!). I’ll be re-using 2 Intel SATA SSDs and the ATI Radeon 5770 video card from my current system. Then, I’ll install my previous Raptor hard drive (after a secure wipe) and likely donate that system to my local Carpenter’s Shelter to benefit a family in need.<\/p>\n

The new components include:<\/p>\n

Processor:<\/strong> Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor
\nCooler:<\/strong> Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System
\nMotherboard:<\/strong> ASRock Z77E-ITX Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
\nMemory:<\/strong> Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 1600 SDRAM
\nPower Supply:<\/strong> SILVERSTONE ST45SF 450W Power Supply
\nOS:<\/strong> Windows 7 Pro 64-bit<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and the above case, in black. More updates when the parts come in, and I start building it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
