After building my first PC in over decade a few months ago, and watching on as Winston built his Project: Arancio, my modding fingers started to itch. With limited space in Hong Kong, I wanted to something small and compact, and it was with great pleasure I received the Elite 110 from Cooler Master to base my mod on. A mini-ITX case, small and compact, and what better challenge than the limited space I had inside the Elite 110.
主题
我目前的PC盒是黑色的，用紫色LED和案例风扇照亮。项目：Arancio是橙色和白色，而Winston即将到来的ID冷却流2 Build将是蓝色和白色的（我希望说服他把婴儿粉红色作为液体冷却剂。因此，在颜色方面，并没有让我在很多选择。我可以选择绿色和/或黄色，但我从来没有是这些颜色的粉丝。
So whilst one day I was window shopping some modelling shops in Hong Kong to get some inspiration, I came across this:
I was captivated by the rich pearlescent red and the contrasting sun beam gold! What a vivid combination….thanks Iron Man! But then there’s several dozens of Iron Man color tones from its different versions. Omitting the non-red/gold combination, there was still a large palette to pick from.
Hardware
这是我计划mod和适合所有硬件的小案;一种更酷的大师精英110.。With the Elite 110 case from Cooler Master, I could only opt for a mini-ITX motherboard.
TBH, I’m still stuck on which mini-ITX motherboard to get, all I have set my mind to is a Skylake Z170 chipset, but there seems to be a lack of mini-ITX motherboards to choose from in Hong Kong. I did mention to Winston that since I’m thinking of watercooling the build, I can go for something that runs a little hotter like an AMD chipset, for which he completely blanked me…….
Given the option of being able to mount a 120mm radiator in the Elite 110, I wasn’t going to pass up on this opportunity! So the CPU will definitely be water cooled, with a small pump and reservoir, all supplied byBitspower。I could take the easy route here and go for soft tubing, but since I’m all out for this mod, hard PETG tubing is the only way to go! A huge thanks goes out to Bitspower for supplying me with the blood red fittings, and all the necessary watercooling components that I will fit in this tiny mod.
但泵和水库在哪里？我喜欢管状水库的外观，所以这是一个确定性。在一些快速测量之后，我计算出如果我选择了类似的短图形卡zotac geforce gtx 1050ti mini, I will have room to fit the pump and reservoir behind it. Another thanks goes out to Zotac for supplying the graphics card.
ATX PS2电源我将使用的是较冷的大师V650，为我提供足够的空间，为我的其余硬件件。
我恳请一对GEIL Evo X 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM但是，我有点持怀疑态度，因为它们如此高，几乎是常规棍子的高度，而在一个小的情况下，我认为他们会严重阻止我的硬管的流动。我可能需要用这些来换掉我的g.skill tridentz。
For the system, a ADATA XPG 240Gb SSD will be slotted in there somewhere….
