754 SFF?

[lOnGjOhN]

well ok i'm going to korea for a little while and i can't bring my pc since its too big...

but i do have space for a sff, so i'm going to gut my case and put it in a sff case.

i know next to nothing about sff... are they hard to work with?

and whats a good 754 nf3 (if possible) sff?

plus what is the best way to transport one of these on an airplane?

AFAIK there aren't any NF3 SFF S754 boards, but you can't really go wrong with something from a reputable board maker.

I wouldn't know how hard it is to work in an SFF case, but it will probably be a bit more difficult with less room to work in.

EDIT: Gah, I'm sorry... I was thinking only of microATX boards to put into something like an Antec Aria. If you're looking for a barebones SFF, I think they have those with NF3s.

i guess

but still i have a lot of crap on my hdd and i don't feel like formatting for a new chipset

oh well if it needs to be done then i have no choice.

any suggestions?

What dimensions are you looking for?

How many slots do you need minimum?

 

[lOnGjOhN]

dimension? well it has to be fairly small... enough to safely carry on a plane.

slots? 1 agp and 1pci (2 would be nice but not needed)

 

[wisdomtooth]

Well... You can put this NForce3 MicroATX motherboard into this case, which is only 15 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 4.5 inches tall. Very compact and light (the case is made of aluminum), and you will have 1 AGP slot and 1 PCI slot.

As a matter of fact, if your current motherboard has a type-"A" layout, you can use that mobo with that case.

I did find this on Newegg:

AOpen MK89-L
Micro ATX
Socket 754
NF3 150

Edit: GMTA

 

[lOnGjOhN]

sweet!

but that case is a little flat and big

i think i need something like a shuttle kinda rectangular

 

[wisdomtooth]

Flat and big? Heck no. That thing is only 12 inches deep (the smallest Shuttle SFF is 12 inches deep).

What is your current motherboard? Let me know and I can find out if it will work.

Why socket 754?

My girlfriend wanted a tiny so I got her one of these

 

[lOnGjOhN]

its not big its kinda wide i don't think it'll fit in my carry on.

i'm using 754 because i'm gutting my current system.

how's that? 155 doesn't seem like a bad deal at all

 

[wisdomtooth]

Yeah, that'll work.

Figured I give you the option of recycling your mobo, 's all.

 

[fell8]

Never mind.

 

[lOnGjOhN]

another question...

how hard is it to mod one of these? can you buy premade windows from the model i posted?

 

[lOnGjOhN]

hmmmm

well what could i do for 939?

I might sell my 754 to a friend and just keep my drives, cards, and ram

 

[lOnGjOhN]

omg last bump!

Is there any review for the SN85G4V3 i can't find any anywhere.
