Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster, heh.
I put this together about a year ago thanks to what i learnt from this forum.
Antec NSK3480
Noctua 120mm Fan @ 5v
Silverstone Nightjar 300W PSU (fanless)
Gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3
AMD Athlon x4 605e (45W TDP)
ThermalRight HR01 (has been rotated since the photo with a different retention clip for AM2)
ATI Radeon 4670 Fanless
2 x 2gb Cosair Dominator 1600mhz DDR3
Cosair Reactor R60 (a bit rubbish, will be replacing this year)
LG DVD-RW (shallowest drive i could find)
Storage is provided by my media center / server over gigabit lan, a quiet 4U athlon 260u machine.

Nice clean build, I've been thinking of a small matx case myself to keep on the table rather than the floor. How are the temps of the CPU and video card?
Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
Cheers, I cant remember the temps will check it out this evening.

Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
Very nice.
This is still my favourite case. Small yet well built.
I too have a one moving part PC in one of these (also Silverstone PSU based).
Pity Antec won't offer these w/o the PSU or I'd buy some more.

After a couple of hours of light use....

Nice build !
Nice build !
Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
excellent cable management, and a well thought out build. very clean, very nice.
btw, i noticed that the noctua is mounted as an intake. did you test it as both exhaust and intake?
knida wondering about flipping my case fan around and giving it a try.

Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
I did try the fan both ways round, as far as i remember this configuration gave the best temps.
Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
i might have to give it a try then... very interesting.
Re: Antec NSK3480 with single moving part
With a single fan as intake, I'd be worried about hotspots forming in the case, but I suppose it is small enough that it wouldn't be an issue.
