Re: Gigabyte GA-H77TN Thin Mini-ITX Motherboard

A few thoughts: * the power connector is part of the thin-ITX spec from Intel. See here: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/thinminiitxcomponentcatalog.pdf * They also provide a list of compatible power bricks. See page 7: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop...

Re: Akasa Euler Fanless case

There seems to be no ventilation at all, no air-holes for air in or out, which means that the only method for removing the heat are the aluminium ribs via the internal air temperature. As we know air is a poor conductor of heat, so the "heatsink-case" (like all others) is not effective at heat remo...
