      Sorry…
      Was looking at it earlier and didn't see it.
      I guess its time for bed when your starting to miss details LOL

      Anyways...
      Looking for a less deep case than my current setup that's 28.9" deep and wouldn't fit into my wall mount rack

      If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

        - there are still some issues with the 64 bit video driver under pfsense 2.1-DEV. Had to go 32bit until its fixed

        This has been fixed as of 07-09-2012 using the latest 2.1 64bit snapshot

            Looks great, I'm looking into building a atom based system as wel with the same mobo.

            Personaly I need three nics, so would need to find a riser that fits in the case or go for a MITX case instead of 1u.

              Check the link in my previous post, they have everything you might need for your build.

              I would choose an small itx case, is way cheaper and can use low profile cards.

                Yeah i had a look at that 1U case but the i/o backplate wasnt listed at the time.. But still good to know it is now available.

                On another note about plink products, item cost + shipping + customs fee were way above the one i took from neweggs (im in canada…).

                Thank you for the update!

                  Im using this one and it fits perfectly:
                  http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816321028

                  Got it from ebay for about 2$, shipping included.

                  Good luck with your build!

                    How loud is the case with those 40mm fans in it?

                      I'll bet it's pretty loud if the fans are the standard type, and all three of them are running.

                      My GTA GB-1000 1U units roar with the two stock fans. I replaced them with low noise types and it is almost silent.

                      Silenx IXP1314 iXtrema Pro Fan - 40mm x 20mm, 14dBA, 6CFM, $10.00 each.

                        Personally I am not a fan of the flexible risers. You should be able to find a combination of 90 degree solid riser and maybe you also need riser extension as well.

                        I bought some risers on eBay until I found one that worked, and then I used an extender I already had from a Tyan system.

                        Also, if you were to get Pico PSU I think you will find that the consumption could be about halved, also try to enable PowerD.
