        Re: watercooled custom gaming mini itx build

        I chose to use a phenom II 550BE processor as i felt like upgrading my main system to a 965BE
        this processor unlocks all cores but due to the tdp restriction I chose to use it as a dual core overclocked to 3.5Ghz instead

            Due the size constraints that my partner requested i build this to I had to choose a SFX PSU that would power the system, i used a silverstone ST45SF 450w unit

                  It was a tight fit getting everything in but I managed to end up with a case that was only 230mm(9") wide, 210mm(8.25") high and 250mm(9.9") deep.
