Is there anyone in this forum who has tried to run a CW setup in a cube/micro ATX box yet?

meanwhile there are > 2 dozen such boxes available, so a general statement isn't of much use anymore.
When the first Shuttle's were released someone published his success in squeezing a Pulsar Two inside such a thing.

Myself I have a very small MSI system with 2 Pulsar Ones on a Twin PCI riser, sitting so close above the CPU that it requires an extremely lowprofile fan plus bending the bottom card a bit to get a capacitor out of the fan :roll:
The original 90W PSU produced lots of electrical noise and was replaced by an external fanless one.

Ok, the box is transportable, but hardly worth the effort I put into it.
Can you imagine to have a CPU, a metal cooler, a fan and 2 Pulsars one above the other in 3 inches of space ?

A nice rackmountable case in a 'rock-bag' like transport enclosure would have been much simpler to build :wink:

cheers, Tom
