Re: Will we ever see a P280mini ???

It's been cancelled. I asked Antec about it on Twitter a while ago, I was planning on buying one, and he got it confirmed. I'll see if I can dig up the tweet. Edit: Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/half_duplex/statuses/271441027502596096 I think it must have been an email where he verified that...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

I've just finished re-re-re-wiring the ISK300. It's taken longer than I had hoped to get things up an running because the fans only arrived a few days ago. First, I've ended up using the stock Antec PS over the PicoPSU. There's a few reasons for this and it's partly to do with the motherboard and co...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

Hmm. Mine is a Rev.B SCSK-1100. I guess it's also possible that the socket location is different on your board (I'm using an Asrock A75M-ITX) and you're running into interference with something where it cleared in my system. That's probably exactly what the problem is. As much as I like these Intel...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

The brick is 120W. When I get the fans, since I'll have to pull it all apart again anyway, I'll plug the Pico back in and try it out. I'm either going to need to solder or get an extender for the power connecter and hang it off that. Soldering shouldn't be too hard and all I should need to do it get...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

My Xeon E3-1235 with 2x4GB RAM, P8B WS board (of course you will use a ITX board) and one SSD pulled 22W at idle and 106W at full CPU load (sorry, can't do the GPU load on the Linux). So 80W pico won't cut it, the original 150W PSU would be fine. This is very close to my specs. I might still give i...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

Thanks for the reply! The Xeon I'm using is a 95W TDP part so the results should be fairly similar to yours. I'm glad to get some feedback because even though I've installed the parts, I haven't stress tested it yet and confirmation that it won't turn into a ball of molten metal is a good thing when...

Re: Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

I've taken a chance and bought an ISK300. I'll report back in a few days once I've got it up and running and played with it a bit.

Xeon + ISK300 = winning?

Evening guys! I'm normally a lurker but desperation has made me come out of the shadows :) Tomorrow I'm going to be getting the last bits for a gaming machine and I'll be swapping my Xeon + mITX out of the P280 it's in now into...something. I'd really like to put it into an ISK300 but I'm not comple...
