Is that PSU modular? If not that would be a real hassle especially in a small M-ITX case. My secondary case is a slightly larger M-ATX case (Lian Li PC-V600F) and even with my Silverstone 850W Gold PSU being modular I still find the cables too long in most cases. Luckily Silverstone sells a short cable set ( http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=219 ) for my PSU which I use in place of the cables it came with. If your PSU is modular you should check into seeing if the PSU manufacturer sells a short cables set for it.

Nah it was not modular so you can imagine the horror haha. Just installing drivers now it is all so confusing with controller and mobo drivers.

I would recommend getting an SSD with that. Huge improvement in responsiveness.


You mean just like a boot drive or something? is there a way to put steam itself onto that drive, but the games onto another?

Yeah, an 120GB drive will do. That's big enough for Windows, your applications, and your most played games

Seen some deals on some 500+ GB SSD recently in USA.  Still cost a decent amount though.

Gotta keep in mind though, anything entertainment rated it hugely inflated in Australia.

When I search yunero in flickr

http://www.flickr.com/search/people/?m=names&q=yunero

there's only 1 result, with no pics of a PC. I may be doing something wrong.

Anyway, how many blood was necessary to build it?

Nah, what are your thoughts? Do you like it?  Have you tried some games on it yet?
