The NSK 1300 (little Cube PC), went well, it was near impossible to get the cables tidy, so i just gave up and made sure nothing was going to hit the CPU or case fans.
The new E4500 chips come with a half height Heat sink, so that helped with the installation somewhat.
All done it was very quiet looks nice on the desk with easy access to the DVD tray.
My daughter is very happy to have a working computer again.
Annoyances:
The spot where all the power supply cables come out is too low and butts into the main board.
The positioning of the stand offs were a bit off and I had to put allot of lateral force on the main board to get the screw thread to line up with the hole.
Only 1 SATA power connector, as had to dig up a Molex to sata adapter.
Blue ambience light in the front panel look lame unless you are looking at in front on.
Likes:
Build quality, noise reduction efforts, quality switches, single screw access.
Bundled slot mount fan, thermal transfer tape for HDD mounting.
Summary:
4.5 / 5 highly recommended, annoyances will be trivial to most .
