Official Wesena thread

Im waiting until the ITX5 come out. Is Wesena releasing anything new? Maybe one without a slotloading optical (but a slim or a regular one)?

Would a 100w processor in the mini itx7-2 case be feasible with 2x 80mm fans added and a decent cpu cooler?

I meant the itx7, but it's called itx7-2 on the site (http://www.wesena.co.uk/product.php/6/2/itx7_2)

Glad to hear this, it is a beautiful case.

I was looking at the Intel I3-2100t but I fell in love with this case and it is more expensive than the case I budgeted for so, I was thinking of going AMD. But, I was wondering if the stock AMD heatsink & fan would fit in the ITX6 case...If not what heatsink/fan would you suggest for the A4-3400?

BTW, love the case, and honestly trying to fit it in the budget and basically build around it. I search high and low for a clean case with an expansion slot and this is by far the best looking one I have found.

I finally ordered the itx2 or the streacom F1C as it seems to be in the uk, any general help people could give me would be great regarding parts etc, i guess the main things i want to get right is the case fan (preferably as quiet as possible) and a good quality pico psu. Also can anyone tell me if the case can accommodate 2 HDD's ? as im looking to fit a SSD for the OS and another drive for dvr? as i said any general help would be great as this is going to be my first build

Its not for me personally. But to each their own. I want a case that blends in.

I think what would be cool is the ability to change LED color or intensity in a black, silver or gunmetal case.

Good pics, and I know the stats, I just don't know the real world applications...like how much of that 40mm is taken up by the mobo risers (if it has any). Plus I didn't know if you or anyone else could suggest a low profile fan that would fit in the case. Still trying to decide between AMD and Intel...Using only integrated GPU so am leaning a little toward the AMD, but with the added cost of a heatsink might lean right back to the intel.

Okay thanks does anyone have any recommendations for a heatsink(the quieter the better) iv seen this one http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/pro...-silence-iplus and memory please ? im going to be using an ASRock H67M-ITX/HT. Also is 40mm the right size for a case fan?

The scythe kozuti is 40mm tall and apparently not too noisy if you don't run it at max.

A few questions:

1) Do you know when/if the ITX-1 is coming back in stock?

[Edit: just noticed this on the front page: "Arriving in the USA by end of April"]

2) Has anyone successfully built with this case using SandyBridge components such as (this is what I have available) the ASUS P8H61-I motherboard and SilverStone NT07-1156 cooler? It appears it will fit height-wise but I am concerned with the motherboard interfering with the front panel as several did in this review: http://www.missingremote.com/review/...tx-sff-chassis

"Both the Intel DH61AG and D525MW mini-ITX motherboards were not compatible with this chassis due to the location of the CPU near the front headers"



I see a concern here with my picoPSU interfering with the front panel. I am unable to find a top-down view of the ITX1 or ITX2 to compare against.

3) From the product page: "Maximum height of motherboard with everything installed on it is: 1,75”, ~45mm with one HD installed." What if I have 2 x 2.5" drives installed (one SSD, one HDD?)

Thanks.

Excellent. Thanks for the quick response. I look forward to the ITX1 being available again. I am getting a lot of interest in very SFF builds so I am hoping the ITX1 and ITX2 fit the bill. For my own purposes though, I need the ITX1 which will make a good prototype.

Somewhat related, I would think the new D2700 boards would be a great match for the ITX1/ITX2.

Do you have a list of available slot-load DVD burners that are compatible with the ITX-2? Specifically, burners that have the button lined up with the ITX-2 button? Hopefully something reliable, not just from eBay and not $100.

I like the red not the magenta so much. I think a case with just that color would be too much though. Perhaps 2 tone with black or white or silver in it as well could look pretty sharp depending on the design. Or maybe just have a face plate that could come in different colors to match the color of your optical drive.

Looking at the ITX-2 on the UK Wesena site, it seems the eject hole for the slot-load DVD is located to the middle-right. The majority of slot-load DVD players available these days have the button there, especially the more reasonably priced and commonly available ones.

Is this version available? Where is the eject hole exactly?

You can, http://slicksolutions.eu/ledsdriver.shtml

In searching for slot-load ODDs I've noticed most of what I've found have the button on the middle-right.

As a builder sourcing slot loading drives is a royal pita,btw. Very expensive as well.

It'd be better to either have no button or a button on the middle/right. At least on the middle/right there are more choice like the Sony Optiarc drives which seem to be plentiful and not too bad in price ($36.99 for a DVD-RW) and available from respectable sellers like Amazon.
