Nice! A SFF Thread...

I've actually been gaming / coding / designing off my little Node 304 for the last 4-5 years now... My setup is...

Node 304
Silverstone Strider 500W modular power supply
Silverstone Strider Short Cable Kit
Asrock H77M-ITX
16GB of Corsair LP memory
i5 3570k w/ Corsair h90
Samsung 840 Pro (128GB)
WD HDD (1TB)
EVGA 780 Ti ACX

CPU and GPU never go over 50c and it has ran like a dream with no problems whatsoever. I plan on upgrading at some point in the future but I can still play pretty much everything out there maxed out without any issues.

The more I've looked at cases the more perplexed I've become over what choice to make. I went from the rvz01 to the ftz01 to now wanting a fractal node 304. This would be a lot easier if I didn't want to keep an internal 3.5" hard drive :downs:

The Node 304 has slots for 6 3.5" drives as I'm sure you know... I personally only have one of the HDD cages (1 of 3, all removable) installed so I could have a full video card but I have a 1TB HDD and a SSD in mine and haven't had any issues whatsoever. It's a very tight case though once you get everything packed into it so that's something to keep in mind.
